Can low folic acid cause weight gain?
I'm struggling to lose weight despite eating healthy and exercising. My friend, actually, suggested that low folic acid could be a reason for unexplained weight gain. Can this be true?

Actually, I was reading about this yesterday because I've been feeling so sluggish and putting on weight. From what I found, low folic acid can cause fatigue and anemia, which makes you move less and maybe eat more comfort food. I don't think it directly causes weight gain, but the lack of energy definitely plays a part.
Oh, same here! I noticed my scale going up when my energy was completely down, and my blood reports showed low B vitamins. Honestly, when you feel tired all the time because of low folic acid, working out is the last thing you want to do. Getting my levels back up helped me feel active enough to start moving again.
Yes, it can indirectly make you gain weight because the fatigue makes you super inactive. Getting your levels checked helps a lot.
Wait, I didn't even know this was a thing, but it makes so much sense now. I've been feeling so tired during exams and literally just sitting in my room eating snacks. If low folic acid is causing this lazy feeling, I really need to get my blood test done asap.
Bro, if I blame my extra parathas on folic acid, my mom will laugh me out of the kitchen! But seriously, low B9 makes you feel like a lazy potato, and lazy potatoes don't burn calories. Get a checkup done before you start blaming your vitamin levels for that extra slice of pizza!

Instead of overthinking big scientific terms, let's look at basic meals. Low folic acid often happens when we stop eating seasonal green vegetables and eat too much processed junk. Just add some green chutney, dal, and spinach to your daily ghar ka khana and see how your energy levels improve.
