Question: How can I get my 11 year old daughter to gain weight!?
My daughter has not gained weight in over a year!. She is very slim!. Two weeks ago she had her tonsils and adnoids removed!. It was very difficult for her to eat!. Now she looks like she has lost weight! We can see her ribs!.

She is a very active girl!.!.!.!.plays soccer and does gymnastics, but does not have much of an appitite!. She is very self conscious of being so thin!. I do not make a big deal of it and tell her she is perfect, but after the surgery, I am worried!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If she is heavily into gynmastics, that could be a source of an eating disorder!. She probably has lost weight from surgery, so don't worry!. if you are certain she does not have an eating disorder, just do your best to make sure she has a well balanced diet!.
Maybe teach her about the food pyramid along with a comprehensive explanation of what her growing body's needs are: why she needs fats, why she needs carbs, why she needs protein, leafy vegtables, omega 3s, calcium, etc!.
Some kids are just really skinny!. Very slim is better than very overweight!. As long as she is healthy don't worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should try herbalife!. YOU CAN LOSE, GAIN AND MAINTAIN!. Before Herbalife, I weighed 210 lbs, my blood pressure ranged between 150 & 180 over 95 my cholesterol was over 300!. I had shortness of breath could not walk 3 blocks without stopping to breath!. I also had arthritis, felt tired all the time and had no energy!. Since I have been on Herbalife Products I have lost 22 lb and 29 inches!. I now walk 2!.6 miles 3 times a week!. I only take my blood pressure medication!. I have lots of energy and feel wonderful!.

I've met plenty of 11 y!.o girls that are skinny!.!.!.its natural!.

And as long as she is aware of it and is not intentionally trying to be skinny (like so many girls these days) I wouldn't worry to much!. Her body is still forming and as long as she is eating healthy she will be fineWww@Answer-Health@Com

IF SHE IS ACTIVE AND GOOD JUST FEED HER GOOD ITS ENOUGH DONT TRY ANY MORE ON HER HER AGE IS LIKE THAT AFTER SHE COMES 15 SHE WILL CHANGE IN HARMONES AND GET BALANCED WEIGHT AT THAT TIME MAKE HER IN BALANCED DIED
