Hi Komal,
I am 41 years of age, my weight is 94 kgs.
I want to lose weight as I am facing problems like backache, sciatica, etc.
Please suggest an effective manner to lose weight.
Thank you,
Pawan Kumar Kataria

Ans: Weight reduction should be focused on body fat loss. Include a diet with high complex carbohydrates like fiber rich foods, e.g. fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals etc.; low fat like olive or mustard oil; good protein foods like low fat dairy products, eggs, lean meat, pulses and legumes etc. Follow a regular daily exercise which will increase lean mass and reduce body fat. Avoid sweets, alcohol, fast foods, etc.

Ans: The very fact you have all these comorbidities as illnesses is that, you need to look into your lifestyle and take action.
Balanced diet, timely meals, adequate and Appropriate physical exercise should be the priority rather than short cuts of Bariatric surgery.

Ans: Thank you for sharing your concerns. It’s important to use sensitive language, so instead of the term “handicapped,” you may identify as a person with a disability. Now coming to Weight loss, it is achievable even with limited mobility by focusing on proper nutrition and customized activities. Create a calorie deficit by consuming balanced meals rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, while minimizing processed foods. Stay active with seated exercises like arm movements, resistance band training, or light weight lifting. Even you can throw basketball against wall to keep burning calories, bicycle with your arms instead of your legs etc .Practice mindful eating with portion control, slow chewing, and adequate hydration. Take short breaks from work to stretch, and consult a physiotherapist for personalized advice. Track your progress through weight or measurements and celebrate small victories to stay motivated. If your disability is significant, consider applying for a disability certificate for additional support. I wish you good luck...
