How to lose weight without being too skinny ?

Answered on 25th July '24
Healthy weight loss involves burning fat, not muscle. Our bodies require some fat reserves for energy and warmth. Excessive thinness can cause fatigue, frailty, and illness susceptibility. To slim down properly, consume balanced meals with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate regular physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming. Avoid fad diets or skipping meals completely. Gradual and steady weight reduction is crucial. Stay hydrated by drinking ample water, and get sufficient sleep while losing weight healthily.

I went from a bmi 10. Anorexic to overweight bmi 28 what impact does it have on my heart
Female | 22
Going from skinny to overweight fast can be hard on your heart. Your heart works more to pump blood everywhere. This can make you feel tired, short of breath, or chest pain. To help your heart, eat good foods and exercise often to stay at a healthy weight.

I don't gaining weight ( really tired of myself) and I'm a footballer too...
Male | 20
If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.

I’m looking to buying a mounjaro weight loss pen as I’m struggling to lose weight I weight 17st and I’m 5f 3in tall I’m believed that I can order this online by a pharmacy but I would like to know how safe this is before I order

Weight loss might be tricky sometimes, and you should be careful about the online products that promise a quick fix. Sudden weight gain is usually a result of poor eating habits or can also be caused by some medical conditions. A balanced diet and exercise are the two best things that can improve one's health and reduce the possibility of getting overweight. If you have any worries, it would be best to see a doctor to get a treatment that suits you.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

How to reduce lower body fat??
Female | 20
To reduce fat in your hips, thighs, and buttocks, eat fewer calories than your body needs. Excess calories turn into fat. Focus on eating healthy foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins, and exercise regularly. Activities like walking, jogging, or biking can help burn stored fat and improve overall health.

I want to gain weight. I'm lean and underweight
Female | 25
To gain weight in a healthy way, focus on eating more nutritious, calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially strength training, can also help build muscle mass. It is best to consult a dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized plan.

Male | 16
You want to be healthier – that's great! At 16, weighing 106 pounds might be a concern depending on your height. Both underweight and overweight can have risks. Start with small changes like eating more fruits, and veggies, drinking water, and staying active.

Focus on eating a balanced diet that is low in fat and sugar, and high in fiber. Do physical activity regularly like walking, jogging, biking, swimming or any other form of exercise. But make sure you don't have any joint issues. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. It is also important to reduce stress and make sure to visit your doctor regularly to discuss any further health concerns.

YES, YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT. Fast food is high in calories, salt, sugar & fat. Decrease fast food intake, eat more FRUITS & veggies. Exercise daily.

I need to lose weight without exercise
Female | 20
Losing weight without working out may not boost your health. Needing to shed pounds could mean tiredness and trouble moving. Overeating unhealthy items might trigger issues. Try eating more fruits, veggies - not sugary, fatty foods - and drinking lots of water. Small steps improve your life.

I am 13 years old female and am currently having issues with losing weight. I am overweight, weighing 58kg. Are there any solutions for me? And if so, how might I lose weight while also gaining muscle?
Male | 13
Being overweight can put you at risk of suffering from ailments such as fatigue and breathlessness. To get to a result in which you lose weight and gain muscle, a training workout is the main tool. Go for the nuclear, try steadily increasing your athletic activities whether they are running, swimming, or bicycling. Moreover, consuming natural products such as fruits, vegetables, and cereals can help the body.

My mother is suffering from overweight. Can she have a liposuction therapy as she is in her early 50's.
Female | 49
Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.
There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.
The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

How can I loose weight quickly if slimming world and weight watchers are not helping and I struggle to loose weight on my own
Female | 21
Losing weight can be tough, but don't worry, there are other ways to help. Until quick weight loss, you could continue healthy nutrition and maintain physical activity. Additionally, the reasons for being overweight are not only overeating but also health problems such as an impaired metabolic system. On the other hand, if the weights are not reducing, this might be because of the lack of certain medical conditions like delayed metabolism or many different hormonal imbalances. If you are unable to lose weight, visit a bariatric surgeon to find out which issues are hidden.

Can u drink slim fast 2days after a gastric sleeve surgery??
Female | 42
After getting gastric sleeve surgery, you need to watch what you consume. Two days post-op, avoid high-calorie drinks like Slim Fast. Your stomach requires healing time. Stick to water or clear broth initially. Slim Fast could irritate and cause discomfort. Follow your doctor's advice for optimal recovery.

My body is gaining day by day instead of eating very healthy food and doing some workout
Female | 19
Hey there! Do you struggle gaining weight despite healthy eating and exercising? It's okay; sometimes metabolism slows down. Your body may not burn calories quickly. Hormonal imbalances or stress could cause it too. Make sure to get enough sleep. Drink plenty of water. Manage stress levels well. Consider consulting a dietician or trainer for personalized tips.

I am a 21-year-old female in Pune. I have hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. I have been trying to lose weight for about 6 to 7 years now. I have tried cycling, working out, dieting, power yoga, walking, and badminton but nothing seems to help or work on my body. I am considering liposuction, what should I do?
Female | 21
Liposuction is not the best option for treating hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. These comorbidities can act as a roadblock to weight loss, and a comprehensive treatment program including lifestyle modifications, nutritional changes, and medication may be best. Seek advice from an endocrinologist, gynecologist, and nutritionist to come up with a comprehensive plan that addresses your personal health needs.
