Diet me milk, egg, dal, nuts, ghee, rice include karein. Roz 5–6 chhoti meals lijiye and drink banana milk shake Stamina ke liye regular exercise (walking + weight training), proper hydration aur 7–8 ghante ki neend zaroori hai. Agar weight nahi badhta despite khana khane ke baad bhi, toh thyroid, sugar aur digestion check karaiye.

I am a medical graduate and I completed my degree from a reputable institution where I also went through the mandatory one year rotatory internship that exposed me to almost every dept of clinical medicine. Those months were long and some days felt never ending but I got real hands on experiance in OPDs, wards, even emergency and minor procedures. What stayed with me is not only the knowledge of disease but the way patients look at their own illness. I learnt early that treating just a symptom or single diagnosis isnt enough, the real challenge is to see the patient as a whole, to understand how their lifestyle, family, stress, small daily habits all play into recovery. Sometimes the answer is simple treatment, sometimes it is a mix of counselling, preventive steps and medicine. I still carry that approach in my daily practice. When I sit with a patient I try not to rush, I want to hear the small details, the part they think unimportant. Because often those parts give the clue. I focus on holistic patient care, where general medicine overlaps with preventive health, lifestyle modification and long term well-being. The internship also gave me confidence to work under pressure, managing routine as well as complex cases. From inserting IV lines, catheters, assisting in deliveries, handling inpatient records, or stabilizing a patient in distress – each experience taught me something about both science and responsibility. My training also shaped how I communicate. I prefer using simple words, no heavy jargon, so patients and families can actually feel safe and understand what is happening. I don’t claim to know all the answers but I always try to look deeper and give care that is both rational and empathetic. For me the goal is not just to fix a lab value or acute problem, but to help patients feel they are being seen and treated as a person. That’s what keeps me grounded in medicine and also keeps me learning everyday.

Hello sudhanshu, The causes for you not gaining weight can be, 1 high metabolism 2 less calorie surplus 3 some medical cause Same goes for low stamina. What yous hould be doing is, Firstly increase your calorie surplus take 400kcal per day extra of what you usually take. Secondly add protein 2g/kg body weight in form of eggs, chicken, dal, whey protein or paneer if fresh and authentic. Add banana and dry fruits in your diet. Have multiple small meals like 4-5 a day. Now to build muscle along with gaining weight. Do strength training (weights) 4-5 times a week. Cardio 2-3 times a week. Take adequate sleep as muscles build in sleep not while working out. If you see no progress after 2-4 weeks of doing this then medical causes should be evaluated. Get these tests done. CBC, TFT, FBS,vit b12, d Keep a track of your progress and you’ll gain weight and strength. Open to further questions.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

Gaining weight and improving stamina simultaneously can be challenging but certainly achievable with the right approach. Begin by assessing your current dietary intake to ensure it aligns with your goals. For weight gain, aim to consume more calories than you expend. A practical way to do this is by focusing on nutrient-dense foods that are calorie-rich but also provide essential nutrients. Include more healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, and olive oil, in your meals. Consider incorporating protein shakes or smoothies, which can be an easy way to increase your caloric intake without feeling overly full. Be sure to include a variety of proteins, such as lean meats, eggs, and legumes, as protein is crucial for muscle repair and growth, aiding in both weight gain and stamina.

When it comes to improving stamina, pay attention to your exercise regimen. A balanced mix of strength training and aerobic exercises will be beneficial. Strength training can aid in muscle mass increase, while aerobic exercises, like cycling, swimming, or running, can enhance your cardiovascular endurance. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts to challenge your body continuously. it’s important to allow time for recovery, as overtraining can lead to fatigue and hinder your progress. Ensure you’re getting 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep per night, as inadequate rest can impact your energy levels and the body’s ability to repair muscle tissues.

Keep track of your progress by monitoring calorie intake, workout intensity, and how you feel each week. If you find little improvement, consulting a dietitian or physical trainer could provide you with personalized insight to further optimize your regimen. But if fatigue is overwhelming, or if the weight loss or inability to gain persists, consult a healthcare provider to rule out underlying medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism or gastrointestinal disorders. Remember, patience and consistency are key, but do not ignore symptoms that may require professional evaluation.
