Weight Gain
Healthy weight gain, without relying on junk food
A structured plan to gain weight steadily using nutritious food, with checks for the reasons weight is hard to gain in the first place.
Being underweight can affect energy, immunity, periods, bone health and confidence. Advice to simply "eat more" rarely works when appetite is small, meals are skipped or the day is busy.
Hamna first looks at why weight is low, including medical causes that need a doctor. She then builds a practical plan around energy-dense, nutritious Pakistani food, regular meals and, where useful, strength-supporting protein.
Who this is for
This service may be right for you if:
- You have been underweight for a long time and find it hard to gain
- You have a small appetite or feel full quickly
- You lost weight during illness, exams, stress or a hospital stay
- You want to build muscle as well as weight
- Your doctor has advised you to gain weight
How assessment works
- 01
Medical background
Recent illness, medicines, thyroid or digestive symptoms, and anything that needs a doctor first.
- 02
Eating pattern
Meal timing, skipped meals, portion sizes, snacks and drinks.
- 03
Measurements
Weight history, BMI and, where useful, body composition.
- 04
Appetite and routine
What gets in the way: time, appetite, stress, training load.
What your plan includes
- A meal and snack structure that adds energy without relying on junk food
- Energy-dense desi options: nuts, dairy, eggs, daal, healthy oils, smoothies and lassi
- Protein guidance to support muscle, with or without training
- Strategies for a small appetite
- Regular monitoring and adjustment
What to expect
You will leave with a clear plan and agreed next steps.
Healthy weight gain is usually gradual. Follow-ups track progress and adjust the plan; no specific amount of weight gain is promised.
