Many above have given reasonable / sound advice. Yet one thing one must consider... Do we know the 'constitution' of SweetAlisija is working correctly and the the foods consumed are processed? This happens often with vitamins. People take them as say they feel no different. Many times the body cannot process them or just gets rid of any of the excess A, B, D, etc.

Its like a car - my car won't move forward. Well give it more gas, fill the tank with gas. A reasonable idea. Yet what if the engine is just not processing the gas correctly?

This is what needs to be considered - that agni is strong and can process. If agni is not strong, then what to do? Many things can 'kindle' agni.

Vannakkam SA, Yajvan et al: There is so much truth in Yajvan's post, and it extends far beyond nutrition. Similar concepts applied in various areas of life is called horizontal transfer. First we need to understand the underlying constitution. Here are some more adages and observations expressing the same point.

Teachers need to know the learning style of students.
Different strokes for different folks.
In religion, some are in university, and others are in the kindergarten class.
Doctors do consultations before treatment.
What works for you may not work for me.
For a headache, some people take acetaminophen, some take ASA, some take caffeine, some take food, and others take rest.

This is exactly why the best teachers be it secular, or in SD, give personal individual advice.
