    Too Skinny!!
    By mtm   
    My son, a C4/C5 quad, lost a lot of weight in the last 5 months or so, after taking a new job and with all the extreme heat of summer.  We have significantly helped him up his caloric intake now, but he is 6'1", and all bones.  This has contributed to a couple of significant skin issues as well.  He's always had a high metabolism, but it is very difficult for him to keep any weight on.

    Any good ideas for GAINING Weight?

    Thank you.  He was prescriped a supplement, and is taking Prostat101.  We since found out that this weight loss is probably complications from an underlying infection.  :(

    Well, there is no need to worry at all. You can find many individuals who go through same issue. I would advice you to ask your son to join a gym and also hire a personal trainer. This can help him to build some muscles. Tell him to increase his calorie intake and if possible consult a good dietician. I hope this might help your son to gain weight faster.
