Asking for Self, Male, 23 years old, Lahore
I feel hungry too much. That's why I eat too much. But I am not healthy at all. Some of my friends used a food supplement and they became healthy. Can I also be healthy using a food supplement? ؟ But I am afraid that there will be no infection. Can you recommend me a good food supplement that is safe and good for me?
Hi,
most supplements have side effects, I would suggest you to get a customised diet plan catered to your needs.
this will help you in a better way and have a long time effect.
hey, I hope you are well. the thing is that we must do our self analysis of what is our routine, food intake, physical activity an,d our eating pattern. if you are underweight try to eat after evey two hours and opt for calorie-dense food. and still, you feel lethargic then I can add food supplement to but with a proper diet plan. but you can take ensure daily its safe for you.

Thank you for your valuable time. But can "ensure" give me quick results?
Isn't this for kids?
My friends used "MEGA MASS" for quick results so they had no side effects yet. They also advised me to use it, but I did not think it appropriate to use it without the advice of a special doctor. Can I get instant results for a better life too?
I suffer from depression due to my health.
I want to be healthy for my job and marriage, for which I have less time.
And because my job is full-time, I can't get time off for a special appointment.
If you consider me compulsory, suggest me a good supplement for a quick result that doesn't have to be used for a long time and can save me both time and money. I will be very grateful to you.

Hi, its better to consume healthy nutritious shakes rather than consuming supplements plus do book an online consultation for proper diet plan. you can visit my website for more counselling.
for that you have to book an appointment.

I won't advise you to follow any supplement without knowing your body's requirement. Please visit a dietitian for detailed help.

I feel like my body needs more than my daily diet, so I feel more hungry and that's why I was thinking about using a food supplement.

"Ensure" it can be safe for use if you are underweight that much. I can take a proper history to identify the root cause. plus you don't need to come I can do online consultation too. and spending money on your health is always worth it. :)
All the short term ways to increase or decrease weight are not good for your health. go for the long term options.

what's your weight and height? what do you eat in a day? I wouldn't recommend jumping directly to supplement.
Kindly mention your height and weight

you are underweight. supplements work effectively with right diet. When you eat healthy you automatically gain weight. it's always a healthy way to increase weight with food.

Food supplementation is not required if the diet is adequate. And how can a diet be fulfilled if that is not enough?

Thank you all?
Ma'am "Fareeha Arif" gave me a better guide and I agree with her.
I wanted a quick result, but ma'am told me it was harmful for me. So I decided that I would use "Ensure" as ma'am suggested.
Thank You ma'am "Fareeha Arif.
There isn't any quick fix to eating disorders. Need to learn how to correct your diet and lifestyle. Low serotonin levels are oftentimes a contributing factor when a person frequently feels hungry. You need to work with a nutritionist or dietitian that has a psychological background.
Supplements cannot be taken randomly
You need detailed nutritional assessment before suggesting any supplements

But my friends have used it directly and they have no side effect.
While all of you are forbidding me to use a food supplement.

Assalam o Aliakum hope you are doing well. Increase in apetite can be normal physiological response that may occurs due to excessive activity, increased caloric demand but in some cases can be sign of endocrinological conditions like hyperthyroidism or diabetes. Specially if you have family history of these medical issues. This condition may cause unintentional weight loss and other problems. In my opinion you need proper nutritional and physiological assessment to rule out other medical problems.
Kindly consult a good dietitian or a physician first.

Hello dear
Food supplements are not recommend at this age unless you've some kind of illness where you are on medication. Now a days in Pakistan there's a growing trend of having supplements to build up muscles. But in late 30es your body will not be able to do extensive excersise which you're suppose to do with add on supplements. First of all what is your height and weight. What's your daily routine of uptaking food. What kind of food you're taking. Alll these things needs to be sorted out first. Never jump the gun with you food and body. Once you out yourself on a wrong path then it's very hard to turn back. You're what you eat so have a full consultation first.

I weigh about fifty nine KG. My height is five feet and three inches.
I use to eat meat once a day in the normal diet.
In addition, I cannot use extra food. I have no disease of any kind. Except I feel very hungry. I am very thin. Tell now. How can I be healthy without increasing my diet? Even if I don't use supplements.
While I cannot increase my normal diet.
