I'm very skinny and tall. I read on Internet that tall guys have high metabolism rate which means tall guys needs more energy than an average person. I eat quiet well. I take fruits and juices frequently. But I'm not seeing change in my physique. I am still like before. I consulted doctor. He gave me some tonic for energy. That syrup increased my hunger. An I'm eating more than before. I can't do push ups. Mostly 2 times. I can not do pull up. Not even one times. I'm weak. I can't walk much longer. I sleep more than usually 10-12 hrs. What's happening with me? What should I do?

Hye, Thanks for the query. Just adding fruits or juices will not help. Also tonic won't help if your diet is not right and healthy. Gaining weight requires you to eat more calories than you burn. Although fried or sugary foods are calorie dense, eating them exclusively won?t provide enough nutrition to keep you energetic and healthy. Eating several meals and snacks throughout the day and including nutritious, calorie-dense food will help you gain weight healthfully. Weight gain depends primarily on your genetics, age, weight and activity level. To gain weight, you need to eat more calories than you burn. If you?re not used to eating large quantities of food at one time, you may find it difficult to fit all of your calories into three meals per day. Eating nutritious, calorie-dense foods every two to three hours will help you get your calories in without making you overly full and sluggish. If you tend to forget to eat or are always on the go, bring calorie-dense snacks such as eggs, mixed nuts, fruits and dairy. Nutritious, calorie-dense foods provide essential vitamins and minerals, which promote good health and energy. Adding ghee and cream to foods adds additional calories for very little extra physical bulk. Fruit juice, masala milk provides crucial nutrients. Meal-replacement shakes and protein powder sound like good options but also remember that unless your diet is not planned sadly they won't help.
