Why Can't I Lose Any Weight Despite Following A Strict Diet And Exercise Regime?
Question: Dear Doctor,
Let me begin by saying that I am 28 years old, my height is 5ft8inch, and weight is 84kg. Last year around this time I was approximately 71kg and used to go to the gym at that time last year.
Due to workload, unbalance of Diet and less physical activity and lots of stress, I put-on nearly 14kg in 1year and 2 month.
From last one month, I was on a strict Diet (mostly take boiled food, minimal crabs) and also following the strict instruction of the certified trainer. Having said that, I haven’t lost a single pound of body weight in last one month. As far as my knowledge is the concern (All hormone tests are being done and found normal Cortisol, Thyroid, and Blood sugar level, Liver panel Test, Testosterone, etc) this is being happened due to genetic curse. I would simply blame this on the Genetic Parts.
How much time do you really think to lose one kg? How much time do you think to lose 14 kg overall if a person follows strict diet and instruction of certified trainer (If the hormone is normal, medical history also being normal)?
what extra do you think one should do to lose one kg in a month as I am not setting the big goal? I was setting small goals like 2 to 3 kg in a month. Did I set the goal wrong (2 to 3kg in a month)?
Here are the very tough questions, which Doctors are not comfortable to answer due to lack of knowledge, which is the Genetic cause. How to find which Gene is malfunctioning so that we can eliminate the root cause of body not responding to weight loss training?
How to suppress that particular Gene in order to maximize the weight loss process, and enhance the muscle building. Here I am not talking about any boring Diet and Exercise which a school going kid also know. Please don’t give suggestion on diet and exercise
As I know without Genetic Help the Exercise and the diet have to have an almost negligible effect on weight loss and muscle building. I would Consider Genetic as supreme in terms of muscle building and weight loss and in my view and through extensive studies, I found the diet and exercise a very easy thing for easy people to suggest.
What suggestions and advice would you like to give in terms of Hormone/Genetic/excercise/ last but not the least food, so that I could lose weight and build muscle as I already said, my body is nor responding?
Waiting for your response.
Thanks In Advance

Caffeine and testosterone boosters
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I would like to answer your questions one by one -
How much time do you really think to lose one kg? How much time do you think to lose 14 kg overall if a person follows strict diet and instruction of a certified trainer (If the hormone is normal, medical history also being normal)?
---- One can lose upto 1 kg per 2 weeks in a healthy way, if the diet is right. Right diet means less number of calorie intake compared to calorie expenditure.
A person with sedentary life style would need not more than 1500 cal per day. Considering that fact if one consumes 1500 cal per day and workout in gym spending around 500 cal per day in excess can lose weight upto 500gms per week. It is always the calories-in and calories-out we have to concentrate on.
What extra do you think one should do to lose one kg in a month as I am not setting the big goal? I was setting small goals like 2 to 3 kg in a month. Did I set the goal wrong (2 to 3 kg in a month)?
--- A goal of 1 to 2 kg per month is fine. It is all about diet and exercise, you can fasten the weight loss process by taking caffeine rich fat burners available in supplement store. But most of them can cause side effects, specially ones which have Synepherine and other catecholamines.
-- The fact about the genetic aspects in weight loss or gain, most of the theories and studies point at the genes involvement in weight gain, but not prevent weight loss when one is on strict diet and exercise.
---- Gene suppression subject is still in its nascent stage. Facts are in papers but not in market or in practice. Many foci in human genome are attributed to weight gain and obesity but none which elicit a resistance to weight loss after necessary efforts.
---- Yes, muscle building and weight gain are much influenced by proteins like myostatin and leptin which are in-turn under control of many genes. Till date nothing has been formulated yet to meddle with those genes considering weight loss as goal.
What suggestions and advice would you like to give in terms of Hormone/Genetic/excercise/ last but not the least food, so that I could lose weight and build muscle as I already said, my body is not responding?
---- You can take organic testosterone boosters which when coupled with weight training can help in loosing fat and gaining lean muscle mass overall resulting in weight loss. These are proved to be helpful in people with normal testosterone levels, as the demand for the hormone increases when one does more exercise.
Hope, I answered your query. Please do ask if any doubts.
Wish you good health.

Hi,
Thanks, sir for such nice step-by-step answers!
I am very much Impressed, the way you answered my questions step-by-step.
However, there are some suspicions still existed, I would like to get it clarified those by you.
1)I very politely differ with you on some points, what do you mean by One can loose up to 1 kg per 2 weeks in a healthy way, if the diet is right, That means only Diet is solely responsible for weight loss(Excluding Hormonal Profile, Genetic Influence, and Excercise, Stress level, Environmental factors)?
2)I don't think Diet is only responsible for weight loss, it's the physical activities of that person, the medical condition like the hormonal profile, stress level, sleeping pattern.
I generally debunk(not completely but almost) the theory of calories deficit it has to have a very negligible effect. If a genetically fat person finding very very hard to lose weight if his/her family history appeared to be obese.In that case, your so-called Right Diet has to have the very negligible effect. Here I am not talking about it is impossible for that person to lose weight.
Genes can affect fat storage and fat loss by influencing energy intake, energy expenditure, or nutrient partitioning. Researchers have coined the term "obesogenic environment" gene also affect the metabolism(Weight Loss)
Similarly, A genetically thin person finding it extremely difficult to gain muscle mass as the satellite cell surroundings the muscle fiber cells are not being fully activated which is again the genetic cause. So he will find extremely difficult to build muscle-mass but not impossible but in the extreme process he will get frustrated and quit.
Genetically-speaking, anything that negatively impacts the ability of the myofibers to increase their number of myonuclei in response to mechanical loading will reduce hypertrophy and strength potential.
There are two alpha-actin proteins: ACTN2 and ACTN3. Alpha actins are structural proteins of the Z-lines in muscle fibers, and while ACTN2 is expressed in all fiber types, ACTN3 is preferentially expressed in type IIb fiber types.
VNTR IL-1RN gene is associated with improved athleticism. This gene affects the interleukin family of cytokines and enhances the inflammatory response and repair process following exercise. Those are few facts and facts is endless.
Here I am just talking about genetic influence.
3)Could you suggest me some Caffeine-rich fat burner without side effects?
4)What is the best way to lose that 15 kg, would I concentrate on Cardio or Weight training?
5)Do weight training more beneficial or cardio, I Have read from somewhere that the more muscle we build the more fat/calorie we burn. Having said that Weight training cause more calorie to burn until we lose more weight, what're your suggestions, sir?
6)Could you suggest some organic testosterone boosters (My testosterone is normal) without any side effects?
7)Sir, I am very frustrated my body is totally not responding which cause serious negative perception about my body. I don't have any major health related issue besides the bad genetic configuration. I don't have any bad habbit(Smokin, Drinking et) still My efforts failed to yield any results. Genuine Suggestions need to overcome these problems.
8)Sir, Please guide me how I can enhance my weight loss and muscle building goal convinently with results, your suggestion are being needed.
I would request you to again answer my query step-by-step.
Thanks so much I am very impressed with your answer and the way you have clarified my doubts.
Awaiting your response!

Brief Answer:
You are right in many aspects
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
--- Hormones, environmental factors, genetic factors, stress obviously have a role in weight management. There influence on weight is sometimes used as tool for weight loss or weight gain. For example Body builders do take testosterone or anabolic steroids for muscle gain. Synephrine, I mentioned which is a content in fat burner helps to burn fat and stress obviously increases catecholamine levels and aid in weight loss. If I have to put it straight there are multiple factors which are involved in weight change but diet and exercise are the ones which are easily meddled with.
--- Calorie defecit is the important and most effective intervention in loosing weight in any. Its simple as it can get, body needs energy and it is provided by food, this applies to any in the animal kingdom. When the source for energy is less then the stores in the body are used up . The degree at which the stored fat is used may change person to person based on his genetic makeup but there is weight loss for sure.
"Genes can affect fat storage and fat loss by influencing energy intake, energy expenditure, or nutrient partitioning. Researchers have coined the term "obesogenic environment" gene also affect the metabolism(Weight Loss)"
--- You are absolutely right, but one should think to what degree. Does it make the diet effect negligible, In my opinion NO. Diet is important, genes may have effect , negligible in many and considerable in some. Even if considerable, the diet still is an aiding factor in them.
--- The genetic facts you mentioned above are absolutely right. Question is to what extent. The literature says "improved athleticism" which may not be much necessary in regular weight loss plan. A simple energy spending athleticism is enough to burn that fat out.
--- NUTREX LIPO 6 BLACK is the best available in the market. They may some initiation side effects like palpitations.
--- I would prefer weight training with high protein diet. Many researches have suggested the same.
--- You are right, more lean muscle you build more weight (fat) you loose.
--- Testrol by GAT is a good natural testosterone booster.
--- Be motivated, follow ones who have lost weight. All gym trainers would have gone through such persons. Get such contacts from him. Nothing motivates more than a person who showed the results.
--- Concentrate on these facts
- Calorie deficit diet
- High protein intake, should not cross the planned calories-in
- Fat burner and testosterone booster
- weight training
- Gym- 5 days a week
- CONSISTENCY
There are many literatures and research articles on genetic influence on weight loss, please do not get carried away as there is very less we can do about it now. Gene therapy for weight loss is long way yet. These consideration mostly demotivate one or may force one to give up early.
Be motivated, YOU CAN DO IT. Hope, I was helpful. Please do ask if any doubts.
Wish you good health.

1-My stamina is not increasing despite been doing exercise for one month, any suggestions Would you like to give to increase a little bit of stamina?
2- I have love handles and fat on the lower stomach, the fat which I have is Subcutaneous fat as you know it's very hard to loose which is being very much influenced by serum cortisol.Is there any way to lose subcutaneous fat and love handle in terms medical way/Diet/ Excercise?
3-I have only fats on lower stomach and love handles other than that I don't have fat in other parts of the body.(GENETIC INFLUENCE)any way to only get rid of these fats(Without surgery)?
4-I am planning for 12Kg weight loss and muscle gain simultaneously, so could it possible or not?
5-Is there any medical way to maximize this process without any side effects? Here I am not taking short -cut.
6- Whats the role of stress in Weight loss as well as in gain?
7-My Body weight is now 84 Kg with fat if my body weight would have been 84Kg with lean muscle then would it be still considered overweight? If not then why?
The muscle with weight and fat with the weight which is considered to be healthy options?
8-Someone said to me that my subcutaneous fats on lower stomach and love handles are due to estrogen insensitivity, is it true? As I know estrogen is a female hormone, men have still a little so how men can have more estrogen hormone? Though I have never get it checked of estrogen level? Besides that, I have checked testosterone and thyroid level get it checked?
10- Role of vital organs(Brain, Heart, Liver, kidney,)muscle gain and weight loss?
9-How safe would it be to take Anabolic Steroid?
10-Sometimes I feel demotivate to quit the Gym, so any suggestions would you like to give, how to remain motivated until the desired result not being achieved?
My sincere thanks, you have answered all my queries and I do have you will too answer those above queries in simple and step by step manner.

Brief Answer:
It is easy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I shall answer one by one.
1-My stamina is not increasing despite been doing exercise for one month, any suggestions Would you like to give to increase a little bit of stamina?
--- Stamina is gained only after some time, it may vary from one to another. Keep up, and increase the insensitive of workout slowly. Fat burners will surely show a significant change.
2- I have love handles and fat on the lower stomach, the fat which I have is Subcutaneous fat as you know it's very hard to loose which is being very much influenced by serum cortisol.Is there any way to lose subcutaneous fat and love handle in terms medical way/Diet/ Excercise?
--- I assume your cortisol levels are normal. There is no option of spot reduction in weight loss plans. The more you loose the more they shrink.
3-I have only fats on lower stomach and love handles other than that I don't have fat in other parts of the body.(GENETIC INFLUENCE)any way to only get rid of these fats(Without surgery)?
--- Weight training will reduce fat from all pats of the body. The above are the last ones to loose. First you loose fat over active parts of the body, staring from face arms and so on.
4-I am planning for 12Kg weight loss and muscle gain simultaneously, so could it possible or not?
--- Obviously possible
5-Is there any medical way to maximize this process without any side effects? Here I am not taking short -cut.
--- Yes, epinephrine (synephrine) and caffiene . Not short cut but a supporting supplement.
6- Whats the role of stress in Weight loss as well as in gain?
--- Stress can make one loose weight due to increased energy consumption during stressful phases. Same time it can increase your hunger, for the same reason. Control hunger during stress you loose weight.
7-My Body weight is now 84 Kg with fat if my body weight would have been 84Kg with lean muscle then would it be still considered overweight? If not then why?
The muscle with weight and fat with the weight which is considered to be healthy options?
--- You would be considered overweight. The weight slabs decided by WHO does not take those factors (muscular) into account. BMI is an accurate reflection of body fat percentage in the majority of the adult population. It however is less accurate in people such as body builders and pregnant women.
8-Someone said to me that my subcutaneous fats on lower stomach and love handles are due to estrogen insensitivity, is it true? As I know estrogen is a female hormone, men have still a little so how men can have more estrogen hormone? Though I have never get it checked of estrogen level? Besides that, I have checked testosterone and thyroid level get it checked?
--- Yes, estrogen is involved in trunkal obesity. Excess of unused testosterone gets converted to estrogen. The more you workout more the testosterone is used in building muscle.
10- Role of vital organs(Brain, Heart, Liver, kidney,)muscle gain and weight loss?
--- They work as usual. A bit more during exercise and weight gain or loss.
9-How safe would it be to take Anabolic Steroid?
--- If taken under medical supervision, it is safe. Inadvertent use is dangerous. Over dose is toxic, under-dose is useless just like any other medicine.
10-Sometimes I feel demotivate to quit the Gym, so any suggestions would you like to give, how to remain motivated until the desired result not being achieved?
--- Weigh yourself only monthly ones. Track your calorie intake using a XXXXXXX app called Healthyfy me. Use a fitness band. The positive numbers are surely motivating.
Hope, I helped you this time too.

Hope, I helped you this time too.
