Hi,I am Neethu Vipin (Dietitian & Nutritionist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, Doctor. I am in my teens and am a bit concerned about my developing body. I go to school and am surrounded by beautiful, fit friends that are athletically active. I always stare at them in awe, how do they find the time? I am barely 5 feet and am always the short one and never have time to be acyive. I REALLY want to be slim but also tall enough. I'm afraid that if I start a diet I might stunt my growth, but if I don't I'll become very chubby and fat. What do I do? I feel trapped!
