Doctor time!

By Habits - 10/07/2023 12:00

Today, and over the past six months, after 20+ years of habits aiming at not gaining weight and succeeding in doing so, I've suddenly LOST a lot of weight at 40 years-old due to bad circumstances. No matter how hard I try or how much I eat, my system just seems to have forgotten how to build fat. FML

1. Go to a doctor if you have questions 2. If you don't already, try weight training to gain weight through building muscle. Take a healthy and natural anabolic approach to weight gain with fitness!!

Sudden massive weight loss is a big ole red flag and worth a checkup with a doctor if you can manage that. Even if it turns out to be nothing, the doctor might have advice on how to get your weight back up into a healthy range.

Please teach me oh great master. (Without the bad circumstances if possible)

3. Eat lots of fat (but the good fats) and make sure you get all your nutrients through the kind of food ordinary people wish they could eat without gaining weight.

You need to hire me as a coach. I'm excellent at building fat and will be happy to show you my technique.

Eat lots of fast food, enjoy desserts and keep fruit and veg to a minimum. I go to the gym every day, sit on a workout bench and play on my phone for a half hour and then reward myself with a snack.

I did this for years with no effect :/ Also switched out the not-working-out with heavy lifting for a try, to no avail. I guess I'm doomed.

Go see your Doctor. You could have some hormonal changes that are causing you to lose muscle mass. It is best to get ahead of whatever the source is sooner rather than later.
