To improve metabolism, relieve constipation, and support healthy weight loss, focus on fiber, protein, hydration, and meal timing.Include protein at every meal (dal, eggs, paneer, tofu, sprouts),Drink 2.5–3 liters of water daily.
Next Steps
Sudden high fiber without enough water can worsen bloating,Crash dieting slows metabolism further.Chronic constipation needs medical evaluation—do not rely on laxatives.
