Dear Ms Komal,
I’m a 50 year old woman, height 163 cms, weight 70 kgs.
Underwent hysterectomy one year ago for dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Was on progesterone treatment for the same for almost a year.
Meanwhile, started gaining weight. Increased from 65 to 70 kgs.
Developed black pigmentation bilaterally on my face which was diagnosed as Acanthosis nigricans. Was asked to lose weight.
Doing 90 minutes of yoga every day. Desk job at office. A small eater with sweet cravings sometimes.
Please give your valuable advice.
Thanking you,
Mahima
Hormonal imbalance in women is their prime cause of water retention and pigmentation.
Weight gain will occur with lowered metabolism and insulin resistance is developed with increase in body fat percentage.
Get blood tests done to check your average sugar levels, thyroid function tests, lipid profile. LFT and KFT. This will help identify and correct the disorders.
Have a high protein, low carb and fibre-rich diet. Include complex carbohydrates and lower intake of high fat and simple carbohydrates food.
Incorporate more strengthening exercises to increase lean mass and reduce fat by loss in inches.
