1. What are the different weight reduction strategies?
Some of the common weight reduction strategies are:
• Calorie count
• Tracking food intake
• Completing at least 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days of the week
2. Can a dietician or a nutritionist help me lose weight?
A registered dietician can help by developing a customised meal plan to lose weight in a safe and healthy way. He/she takes into account your eating habits, preferences, body type and overall health while making a meal plan best suited to your dietary needs and weight loss goals.
3. Do I have to stop eating meat to reduce weight?
Giving up meat can help lose weight. Research shows that skipping meat not only reduces the amount of fat and calories consumed but also reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Meat can be replaced with nonmeat protein sources such as beans, soy, dairy, nuts and eggs. Your doctor may prescribe a multivitamin/mineral supplement if you switch to a meatless diet.
4. Can drinking alcohol hinder the weight loss process?
Yes. Drinking alcohol adds hundreds of calories to the diet, contributes to excess belly fat and affects the digestion and nutrient uptake in the body. Alcohol also increases appetite and the urge to eat more food, thus hindering the weight loss process.
5. What do doctors prescribe for weight loss?
Doctors prescribe phentermine-topiramate, liraglutide, orlistat, naltrexone-bupropion and lorcaserin as long-term medications for weight loss. These medicines are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
