      Tips to Increase your Weight to reach your BMI

      Being underweight may indicate that you are missing out on the required vitamins and minerals. If not treated, this could lead to health problems including a weak immune system and even bone fractures. Hence, it is important to maintain your BMI in a healthy range by gaining weight.

      Do’s

      1. Eat smaller meals more frequently and add healthy snacks in between your meals.
      2. Start gaining weight gradually by adding healthy calories. If you are an adult, you can try and add 300-500 extra calories per day.
      3. Consume high-calorie drinks in between including milkshakes.
      4. Focus on enriching your body with a balanced diet. Select a variety of food items including fruits and vegetables, starchy carbohydrates, and dairy.
      5. Add protein to your meals with fish, eggs, beans, and lean meat.
      6. Have healthy snacks including rice pudding or yoghurt.
      7. Do yoga or build muscles with strength training to improve your appetite.

      Don’ts:

      1. Avoid consuming junk to gain weight.
      2. Stay away from chocolates or sugary drinks.
      3. Do not fill up on drinks before having meals.

      Tips to reduce your weight to reach your BMI

      If you are overweight, losing weight will give you more energy and help you reduce your risk for critical diseases including obesity, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes. There are several ways to lose weight. You can start by making small changes to your diet and consulting an expert.

      Do’s:

      1. Try to get active for at least 150 minutes a week.
      2. Focus and decide to lose at least 1-2 lbs or 0.5 to 1 kg, per week.
      3. Read food labels before buying any food product. For instance, products with a green colour code are healthier than red or amber coloured.
      4. Swap sugary drinks for water. If the water is too bland for you, you can add slices of lemon for flavour.
      5. Cut down on foods with high sugar and fat content. Instead, swap it with whole grains.
      6. Create a weight loss plan with an expert.
      7. Move more and exercise. You can also start strength training to lose weight and build muscles.

      Don’ts:

      1. Do not lose weight abruptly with crash diets.
      2. Do not binge on junk. If you feel hungry, switch to healthier alternatives.
      3. Do not skip your meals as you will end up snacking more due to hunger.
      4. Do not finish your plate if you are full. You can eat the leftover food the next day.
