Eating disorder anorexia
My daughter had anorexia for past 2 years, her weight dropped from 49 kg to 33kg, she is out of it now and eating properly, due to this she was diagnosed with hypo thyroid and was on thyroid medication for almost a year and then stopped it 3 months back. Her period also stopped since past one year. My question is inspite of her eating proper meals her weight is not increasing, it is only 37 till date. All her other blood tests are normal. What should I do to bring her weight back to normal around 50 kg, and her period to start. her height is 5'2". Would really appreciate a response that would be helpful and give me direction. Thanks Sonia

Hello,
There will be a gradual increase. Since the body is adapted it will be difficult to gain weight.
-Exercise daily for an hour -Include protein in your diet (taking protein rich foods post workout helps in muscle building, Intake of protein in this case is really important.) -Increase fiber in your diet (Will help you stay full) -Include fruits and vegetables in your diet (2-3 serving) -Water intake of atleast 3L per day -Add healthy fat like nuts to your diet. -Avoid/Exclude fried, sugary and junk food -Eat a balanced and healthy diet -Do not skip breakfast as 40% of days energy is from breakfast NOTE: The above mentioned practices can change according to a specific medical condition.
