Suggest Medication To Lose Weight

Hi, I am a fit 63 year old woman,stared putting on weight around my middle even though I have been 120 lbs for the last 20 years.I skipped a lot of meals but increased bread and meat pies as a quick evening food while looking after my granddaughter. My calorie intake did not not increase and I would often go all day with just a slice of bread or some biscuits. Yet I have gained a big stomach and put on 14 pounds, my face is Itching and peeling and I have red blotches on my chin and neck. Also hand ezcema on both hands which itch and bleed.

Hi,

eating less is not a solution to lose weight.. By eating so less you will develop several nutrient deficiency .

For weight loss exercise has to be regular. ( WALK/ JOGGING/ YOG/ PRANAYAM)


Weight loss is not a miracle.. You have to eat balanced and exercise regular for achieving a ideal body weight for life long.

Also dieting is not a solution for weight loss, Instead eat local and all seasonal food items and be regular in physical activity


Please follow the undermentioned points:-

1. drink 3-4 lit water every day
2. Start your day with 1-2 glass warm water - get fresh and take 8-10 soaked almonds and then go for morning exercise
3. Opt for wheat pooriadge/ Milk porriadge/ stuffed roties/ vegetable sandwiches/ Boiled pulses + 1 cup milk
4. Take 5 meals per day - 3 major meals and 2 small meals
5. 2 Servings of fruits every day
6. Eat all local and seasonal fruits and vegetables
7. Take 2-3 Cups of green tea every day - 1 at bed time before sleep
8. Avoid all processed and ready to eat food items.
