Suggest Ways To Lose Weight

Hello I am having trouble losing weight. I take Depakote ER to control seizures. currently I weigh 244 lbs and I m 5 6 tall. I have tried so many diet programs and I exercise 4 times a week. I m not a fast food person. I prepare my own meals and plan portions out. What would be the best diet for me to lose this weight?

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,
Dentist
