Question by jyoti on Mar 21, 2022Hindi

Health

Dear Komalji,
I would like to lose weight and become fit.
I have tried to go on a soup diet once a week and a fruit diet once a week (two days gap between these two diets). But I feel very hungry and am unable to maintain these diets.
How can I be successful?
Please advise.
Jyoti

Ans:

Fad diets are nutritionally deficient and can cause muscle wastage. This can lower your immunity and lead to a deterioration in your health.

To be successful in your fitness goal, you must follow a balanced diet with adequate macro and micro nutrients.

Focus on protein intake and avoid sugary foods, chocolates, fried and fast foods, aerated drinks, savouries, etc.

Adopt a regular physical exercise regimen to build lean mass, drink lots of water and sleep well.

Dear Komal, I am 45 and weigh 89 kg. I don't have diabetes or any heart condition. I am on a diet for the past 10 months. I have lost three kilos so far but I don't enjoy the food I eat. I love to eat a bit of junk and street food but my dietician says No. I walk or run at least 45 minutes in a day. Pls help.

Eating healthy within the nutritional requirements is the need for a balanced diet.

You need to focus on complex carbohydrates and fibre-rich foods like whole wheat grains, vegetables, fruits, etc; high protein foods like low fat dairy products, pulses and legumes, nuts, soya, eggs and lean meat to increase your immunity and endurance; and low fat and low sugar foods.

Coupled with a regular regimen of cardio and weight training exercises, it will help increase your lean mass and lower body fat.

Consistency and regularity in following these guidelines will enable you to attain a healthy body.

Question by Sundarraj - Feb 01, 2023Hindi

Health

Hi Ms. Komal. I want to lose my weight. I am working in Gulf and due to my work timing / pressurei couldnt concentrate on work out. My eating habit is worse. If i get too tensed or pressurised i tend to eat more. Initially i want to concentrate on eating habits as i am pretty much confused as what to take for break fast, lunch and dinner. I am weighing around 113 KG and due to that very much low in self confidence. so need your advice.

Ans: You need to be consistent with your dietary regimen. Stress does lead to behavioral changes which may cause excess food or wrong food consumption. Eating above your required energy intake will result in weight gain. Focus on good protein sources, low carbohydrates, low fat, high fiber rich and low fat food intake. Avoid refined carbs especially sugar, bakery items, fast foods, aerated water, alcohol, etc. Adopt a regular exercise regimen daily to lose body fat and increase lean mass.

hello sir, I am 41 years old weighing around 84 kgs height 5'9 inches, and planning for my belly& weight loss, I started eating only 2 times a day(breakfast & lunch) skipping dinner. I am doing 30 mins of exercise along with walking for 30 mins. let me know if you can suggest any diet plan for the same.

Ans: Losing weight is a challenge. Reducing daily calorie intake is the most important factor for weight loss. Focus on changing both eating and activity patterns towards loss of body fat. Aim for a healthy weight. Avoid skipping meals. Distribute the calorie requirements throughout the day based on your personal goals and needs, activities and health condition. A diet plan will consist of low refined carbs, low fat and adequate protein foods. Make sure to include complex carbs from foods like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, etc. which adds to the satiety value. Avoid high fat and sugary foods, chocolates, fried foods etc. An exercise regimen aimed at body fat loss and increase of muscle mass will be beneficial.

I have sold my flat for 3cr and purchased new flat for 4.5 ...but the builder has taken only 20% and rest 80% at possession..last week 13 th feb 2025 registration is done for new property...I will get possession around June 2025.I have done FD of rest amount.. kindly advice I will be taxed for fd and ltcg.

Ans: For claiming exemption u/s 54, gain amount is required to be invested in buying/constructing new property as per prescribed conditions. Thus, if before filing ITR if gain amount is paid to builder you are not liable to pay tax on LTCG. However, interest on FD will be taxable. Unutilised amount can be kept in capital gain scheme account.

Doctor my periods date was 16 jan and on 27th jan i have taken i pill for emergency contraception. And on 7th feb i have got bleeding with initially brown and with some pieces of blood and it was reddish on next day it lasted for almost 3 days and now after 16 feb im haven't get my periods, is it necessary to get a beta hcg test or consider it to be normal

Ans: Yes, taking the I-pill can cause delayed periods or irregular bleeding. Sometimes after taking I-pill spotting can occur within 7 days and cause irregular bleeding also. The I-pill is an emergency contraceptive pill that contains a high dose of hormones that can disrupt your menstrual cycle.
But it is advisable to do pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy by beta hcg blood test or kit test.
Or visit your nearby gynae to rule out other causes if delayed menses

I appeared for AP (andhra pradesh) state board 12th exams in 2023,2024,2025. But I failed due to health reasons, applied for jeemains 2024, 2025. i want to apply for board exams again in 2026, can i apply for jeemains 2026 , would I be eligible for jee advanced. i never applied for jee advanced, please help.

Ans: Hello dear.
If you have health problems and failed in board exams in 2023, 2,4, and 25 then I would like to suggest you clear your 12th from the NIOS board if possible. The examination pattern is simple as compared to state or CBSE boards. But this is just an option for you. But if you are comfortable with your existing board, then you can appear in 2026, and take care that you must score min 75% in the board examination to be eligible for JEE (Adv). First clear Board Exam 2026 with 75%, then JEE (Main) with the required cut-off, and then JEE (Adv). But you are eligible for JEE (Main) and not JEE (Adv). For more clarity, I suggest you read the latest brochure of JEE (Adv/Main) released by NTA and IIT.
Best of luck to your upcoming examinations and bright future.

Follow me if you like the reply else ask again.
Thanks

Hello Sir/Madam, I completed my b.tech in civil in 2020.since then i have been preparing for competitive exams.i am also suffering from Cone dystrophy which is an inherited retinal condition which affected both my retina.How can i get a job after a career gap and this health condition.i was recently rejected by a private bank just because i had a career gap.What should I do?It seems like my career and life is over.

Ans: Hello
You haven't mentioned the current status with regard to your preparation for competitive exams.
If you are planning to get back to some regular job, yes the gap might be an issue.
But it won't be a sole reason for rejection if you are able to impress the interviewer otherwise & have credible/convincing reasons for your decisions.
All the Best !!
