If
you are underweight...
You may be one of
those people who just eat and eat, but never put
on weight. If so, you might have what is called
a high metabolic rate. In other words, you're
a very efficient 'energy burner'.
If you're underweight,
start building up to a healthy body weight! Here's
how you can do so:
- Increase your
total calorie intake by eating more.
- Avoid overeating.
Instead, eat more frequently throughout the
day. Have breakfast, lunch, dinner and hearty
snacks in between.
- Always eat a well-balanced
diet as shown by the Food
Guide Pyramid
- Choose nutrient
dense foods ie those that are highly nutritious,
such as milk and egg white.
- If you wish to
take a high-protein diet or weight gainers,
discuss the matter first with a doctor, nutritionist
or dietitian.
- Exercise regularly.
Yes, exercise! It gives you a better appetite
for food. You'll find yourself taking in more
energy than exercise burns up.
- Get enough sleep.
Sleep saves energy!

DO
YOU HAVE AN EATING DISORDER?
|
|
There
are a couple of undesirable reasons
for being underweight. Dieting unhealthily
is one. The other could be an eating
disorder -- anorexia or bulimia?
Anorexia
is when you starve yourself because
you only see yourself as overweight.
Bulimia is when you eat huge amounts
of food at a time, only to vomit or
purge it out after that.
If you
have an eating disorder, it could
be because you have low self-esteem
and a need to control your own body.
You could be facing pressure from
your family, friends or teachers.
Magazines, advertisements or movies
that continually show thin, glamorous-looking
people may influence your idea of
perfection.
Eating
disorders are extremely dangerous
and can sometimes lead to death. So
if you have this problem, or if you
know anybody who does, go see a doctor
immediately.
