How Can Excessive Weight Be Reduced?
Hello Dr Rynne, I am writing for some advice on my weight goals. I am 42yrs old women and have been trying to loss weight with no luck. I use to run 5k on treadmill at the gym 3 days a week. We recently moved across county and move live in the county with no gym for miles. I then weighted 170lbs. Now I walk 7 days a week for 45mins I don t miss a day and my weight is 185lbs. I am concerned and not sure what to do. Can you please help.

Hi,
As per your query Weight loss is a combination of a healthy and nutritious diet, regular workout, proper sleep and above all maintaining persistence in a healthy schedule. I would suggest you to maintain a proper metabolism of the body by eating small meals every 2 to 3 hours.
You can take 3 major meals that is breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat minimum in dinner and in breakfast should be a combination of small portions of foods that can contain calories in high concentration also like any piece of sweets/deserts etc as they get digested throughout the day.
In mid meals you can eat sprouts, fruits like apple, oranges and salads like carrots, cucumber, etc. Drink 3 to 4 liters of water per day. Do regular workouts and weight training under an expert guidance. Brisk walking and cardio exercises like aerobics will also be helpful.
Avoid stress as it can cause overeating and also disturb your schedule and cause negative effect in weight loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
