Why am I losing weight with poor metabolism?

Patient's Query

Not been able to eat properly since last couple of weeks. Have been losing weight significantly. Currently at 66 kg with 182cm height. Guessing poor metabolism and a slight constipation could be the cause.

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Seems to me like you're having a problem with food and weight loss. Some possible options could be that your body is not properly digesting food which can lead to weight loss and constipation. Instead of eating large meals, try to have smaller meals more often and add plenty of fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables to your diet. Besides drinking a lot of water, being active can also enhance your metabolism. See a dietitian if the situation doesn't improve.

Can we eat egg and banana

Male | 19

Yes, it is generally safe to consume eggs and bananas together. Some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort due to their unique protein and carbohydrate combinations, leading to symptoms like bloating or gas. If this occurs, consider eating them separately. Incorporating a balanced diet with various foods is key to overall health. If you notice persistent discomfort or have specific dietary concerns, you should consult a healthcare professional who can give you personalized advice.

Hi, I'm a 50-year-old female going through menopause and have gained weight. What dietary changes can I make to manage my weight and alleviate menopause symptoms?

Female | 50

It is not uncommon to gain some weight during menopause due to hormonal changes. To promote weight loss and lessen your symptoms, introduce a balanced diet. Incorporate as many fruits, greens, whole grains, and lean proteins as possible into your diet. And don't forget to refrain from drinking sugary drinks and eating foods high in saturated fats. In addition, water helps keep your body hydrated and exercise is a normal part of every day. This, in turn, can also contribute to keeping a healthy weight and stopping menopause symptoms.

How much sucralose % used in plant protein powder by companies? And it is safe or not.

Male | 27

Sucralose is frequently added to plant-based protein powders in the form of small amounts in order to make it taste sweeter and not cause any extra calories. Previously conducted research has shown that sucralose can be a safe option for most people if its use is not abused. On the contrary, there are few people who might undergo digestive discomforts such as bloating, and gas when sucralose is consumed. In case you notice any weird symptoms after taking in such products, the wisest move is to lower the dose and to see a doctor.

I was drinking a hot coffee but accidentally bird poop dropped into the coffee and i didn’t’ Recognise and take 2 - 3 sips. Please suggest

Male | 28

Consuming a relatively foreign item by accident can be a cause of concern, but it is important to stay calm. The symptoms to look out for include nausea, digestive problems, and fever, which could be a sign of any infection. The mere presence of bird droppings may potentially harbor pathogenic organisms, but it normally takes a heavy exposure to cause illness. Be sure to drink enough water and observe your health condition. If you experience any unexpected symptoms or are not feeling well, please get in touch with a doctor. Such professionals are capable of giving you the right pieces of advice based on your situation. Do not forget, in the first place, your health is the main thing.

Can i take creatine and whey protein after getting tb

Male | 21

After contracting TB, it is important to be cautious if you are using creatine and whey protein. These supplements can put undue stress on your body, which is still in recovery. It is better to wait until you have made a full recovery and your doctor has given you clearance before integrating them into your meal plan. Focus on strengthening your body through natural foods rather than relying solely on supplements.

Female | 34

You can generally take Feroglobin with Wellwoman Original and multivitamin gummies together, as they typically contain complementary nutrients. However, it's important to be aware of your dietary intake to avoid excessive doses of certain vitamins and minerals. Monitoring how your body feels is crucial; if you notice any unusual symptoms like nausea or fatigue, it may be wise to reassess the combination. For personalized advice, I recommend consulting your healthcare provider to ensure this combination fits your specific health needs. It's always best to prioritize your wellness with professional guidance.

i am 17 years old and i was found as a pcos person in my 12 years of age and now i am having regular periods from 4 to 5 months but i want to know about the diet plan which i can include in my daily task and exercise as well espicially for hair

Female | 17

In terms of diet for PCOS and hair, try to include a balanced diet made up of a lot of fruits, green vegetables, and whole grains in your meal. Avoid sugar and junk food in your diet. Regular physical activities also assist with PCOS symptoms. On the other hand, for your hair, you should eat a balanced diet with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, which is found in nuts and legumes, such as lentils, zinc in chicken and sardines, and iron in red meat and spinach. Remember, drinking enough water is also important.

Hi yesterday I purchased multivitamin tablets from optum nutrition so my question is I won't do any kind of workout currently can I consume the tablet everyday

Male | 33

 Many vitamins and minerals that your body needs for general health can be obtained from these supplements that fill the nutritional gaps. Even though physical activity may be beneficial to individuals, the latter can be also said. A good nutrient supply is necessary for the energy levels, immune function, and mood. But make sure to take the recommended dose. If you face any non-typical symptoms, or in the case of any other health disorders, it would be wise to get a consultation with your dietician asking for advice personally.
