How Can Abdominal Fat Be Reduced?

Hi Dr. Rynne, I am a woman 65 years old. I have numerous health problems and have a lot of pain from diabetic neurothapy, both hip replacements, etc. I was diagnosed with fatty liver last October. I don t do well on narcotics. I was drinking wine for pain and he told me to quit (which I have) and he sent me to a pain specialist.... He has given me 2 injections so far (the first one didn t do anything and the second one lasted 11 days). He had me try voltaren pills and they made my heart race, ultram made me itch, voltaren gel to rub on my feet and it worked after applying it three times but made me nauseated (too much). My surgeon also took a biopsy of my liver and told me I had to lose weight. I weighed 180 lbs. and 5.2 . So far I have lost about 15-20 lbs. by drinking apple cider vinegar/water and taking Garcinia Cambogia for 12 weeks. That is is working for me. Do you think this will be okay? I have tried and tried to lose belly fat but nothing has worked til now.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

You have achieved a great achievement for weight reduction. 15 to 20 lbs (6.8 to 9 kgs) is great, but still if you want to lose your belly fat then I would like to advise you to eat more protein diet and reduce fat consumption plus, if there is diabetic neuropathy then you may not be able to walk so you can do aerobics or yoga at home for 1 hour per day that may help you.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nirav Nimavat
