Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This is altogether a myth and nothing else. Weight is simply the deposition of excess fat in the body and that occurs when calorie intake of food is higher compared to its loss due to physical activity.

I will advise you to decrease the fat intake by reducing oil and ghee intake. Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Also eat only 75% of your total appetite and avoid extra calories in the form of biscuits, namkeens, tea, etcetera.

If you can start exercising at least for 30 to 45 minutes then you can reduce your weight faster. Don't try to loose your weight too fast as it is dangerous for the body in the long term.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gaurav Jain T
