I Wanna loose weight
Hello doctor, I wanted to lose weight. My current weight is 85 kg. Height is 175 cm. My ideal weight is 70 kg. So I need to reduce 15 kg. I need to do it in 5 months. I target to shed 3 kg a month. I need to achieve my goal without exercising because of my torn ACL at my right knee. Surgery has been scheduled at May 2017. How to loose weight solely by dieting? Is it possible? Is there any treatment available for weight loss in Allopathy? Help me . Thank you.

Hello..
First thing is you need to have less of carbs and more of proteins...so best thing is have less qt of rice or reduce the no of chapathis you have and have more of dal or subzi...you need to replace your rice or chapathis with oats,ragi balls or Suji preparations... You can tk any one fruit like banana, orange or Apple or mausambi in your fruits list... Now can add water melon too...you need to have fresh carrots, cucumber or channa dal when ever hungry... Have loads of water too...You also need to engage yourself in outdoor activity like walking,running, jogging, cycling,k swimming for a minimum if 30 to 45 min ..or chose to gym or aerobics as per your liking....you can also include green tea...it will increase metabolism...consult a dietician for a specific diet chart as per your bmi and your food preferences... All the very best.... Thank you

First and foremost you must understand losing your weight is a very gradual process. You should have strong determination and patience if you want to lose weight. And it cannot happen suddenly. Losing too mich suddenly is also not good for health. You have to follow a strict diet and exercise schedule. Regarding diet - have small multiple meals instead of 3 big meals, eat food rich in proteins and fibres like egg white boiled chicken vegetables fruits pulses, avoid carbohydrate rich foods like rice curds oily foods sweets ghee and other junk food. Regarding exercises - start slowly with brisk walking, then change over to jogging, running and other abdominal exercises. Never over strain yourself. And always keep yourself well hydrated and enjoy whatever you do...consult dietitian they will do the needful

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You can lose weight solely by dieting , but not necessarily at a rate of 3kgs a month.
For a specific diet plan kindly consult a dietician in person for a detailed diet chart.
Follow that.
Drinking green tea twice a day will also help you in losing weight.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
