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:

If you are overweight, you need to inculcate a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and a fitness regimen.

Your diet should include adequate protein, more complex carbohydrates and high fibre foods.

Avoid unhealthy foods containing high fat and simple carbohydrates like fast foods, sugary drinks, sweets, savouries, etc.

Adopt an effective exercise schedule with aerobics and strengthening exercises.

Drink sufficient water and have a good, sound sleep for at least 7-8 hours daily.

This will enable loss of body fat percentage and spike up your metabolism.

Can you please suggest me something thru which I can lose my weight till 25-28 kg, I am doing work from home so most of the time. I be busy in office work due to which my physical activities are too less
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...
