Patient's question:
He developed picky eating habits when he was young. Now he's 15, and he doesn't feel hungry at meal times anymore. He gets full after eating just a little. He's had various tests, including blood tests, hepatitis panel, and trace element tests, and it was found that he's calcium deficient. He's now taking calcium supplements, but he still grinds his teeth at night. He had a duodenal ulcer and took medication for two months, but now he burps one or two times during each meal.Doctor's answer:
Being fat or not is not very related to how much you eat. It's mainly about nutrient absorption and your regular exercise amount. Actually, being thin is better than being fat. Being fat can cause many inconveniences, and being too thin is not good either. It's recommended to pay attention to a balanced nutrient combination, have a reasonable diet, develop good living habits, and health is the most important.
