Being an obese teenager and addicted to alcohol at an early age can result in severe health problems. Conditions such as too much weight gain, feeling unwell constantly, and finally, what is more, having to crave alcohol a lot are frequent. Poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and feelings are the three most common reasons for this problem. What will help is directing these young people toward the right path. It is important to attend the first consultation with a healthcare professional who will provide you with proper guidance to choose healthier food, help you with managing alcohol addiction, and suggest suitable treatment options.

You want to be healthier – that's great! At 16, weighing 106 pounds might be a concern depending on your height. Both underweight and overweight can have risks. Start with small changes like eating more fruits, and veggies, drinking water, and staying active.

Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.
There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.
The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

To gain weight in a healthy way, focus on eating more nutritious, calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially strength training, can also help build muscle mass. It is best to consult a dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized plan.

Causes: excessive fatty food intake, insufficient physical activity. Prevent bloating: eat slower, avoid fizzy drinks, consume more fruits, vegetables.
