This friend of mine is gaining weight...?!


Question:

This friend of mine is gaining weight...?

At the beginning of the school year, he was 5'9" and 140 pounds. He was pretty skinny. At the end of the school year, he was 5'10" and 160 pounds, mostly muscle, but some fat. Now, it's the middle of summer and he's 5'10" and 180 pounds. He's gotten awfully chubby and I'm beginning to worry about him. He's been thin all his childhood and now suddenly he's become fat. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to help him?


Answers:

If he isn't gaining weight because of overeating and under exercising, you might want to ask him if his digestive system is working ok. If he is not processing waste in the right way then that could be a cause of weight increase. A change on diet to a high fibre one would really help him. Also, make sure he is drinking plenty of water - even males get water retention!
