Hello dear, don't worry you & your friend needs a proper combination of healthy nutrition, exercise & proper nourishment! Weight gain is a gradual process like weight loss, hence we need to have a proper monitoring on your metabolism, food, exercise; so that it helps you see a proper weight gain & good health!
Next Steps
I would advise you to get a few tests done like thyroid profile, CBC, hormone levels, TB etc. Follow a high protein diet i.e. including good quality proteins like milk, eggs, sprouts. Go for exercising so that it improves appetite levels. A customised diet & exercise plan will help you better to care your health. Do get in touch with me for the same. Drop a message on @maithiliobesityclinic on Facebook.

Hello. there could be many reasons why there is no weight gain. Like weight loss, weight gain is an equal task. Our body is set to a particular weight, if that's the weight you have been since a long time, a concept termed as set point theory. to change this set point, one would take time. What is needed is proper nourishment, and constant increase in the appetite. The increase will be slow, but a permanent gain. You and your friend, both need not worry.
