Hello XXXXXXX,
Thank you for your query.
The increase in weight after changing of job from active one to sedentary one is a reason for weight gain. Some of the measures to reduce weight are:
1. Increase physical activity and look after your food habits.
2. Increase consumption of water, salads, vegetables and fruits.
3. Avoid fatty foods. Saturated fats, processed foods, refined foods, sweets and chocolates should be avoided.
4. Take regular exercise.
5. Take heavy breakfast and light dinner.
6. Take a stroll after dinner and keep two hours gap between dinner and sleeping.
However, frequent variation of weight has several other causes.
One of the causes is thyroid disorders. Disease of thyroid is associated with weight gain or weight loss unrelated to food habits or physical activity. Firstly get thyroid function tests. In case there is some abnormality in the thyroid functions further management will be according to the problem. If the thyroid functions are normal, other causes will have to be sought.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.
