Hii sir I'm Samson Lima from odisha my height is 5.3 inches and my weight is 83 how can I reduce my weight according to my height and what is the correct weight must be for my body

Ans: Hi Samson, at a height of 5'3" and a weight of 83 kg, knowing your age would help provide more specific advice, but you are currently considered overweight for your height. Reducing weight is a journey that requires patience, consistency, and dedication. Start by focusing on reducing your calorie intake, increasing your protein consumption, and decreasing your intake of carbohydrates. Incorporate more physical activity into your daily routine, such as walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming, which are excellent forms of cardio that can help burn calories and improve your cardiovascular health.

In addition to cardio, it's important to include resistance exercises like lifting weights, which will help build muscle and increase your metabolism, making it easier to burn fat. Strength training not only aids in weight loss but also improves overall body composition by increasing muscle mass. For personalized dietary advice, it’s best to consult a nutritionist who can help you create a balanced meal plan that aligns with your goals. Remember, the key to successful weight loss is to maintain a calorie deficit, where you burn more calories than you consume. Stay committed to this journey, and you'll see gradual and sustainable results.

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
