What are the tips to stay fit and healthy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I cannot seem to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have been feeling sluggish, and my energy levels are at an all-time low. I know I should be eating better, but I find myself reaching for unhealthy snacks and fast food, especially when I am stressed. Can you please help me figure out what I should be eating? What steps can I take to finally achieve a healthy weight and maintain a balanced diet?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through our query.

Obesity occurs due to high carbohydrate intake with less physical activity as well it can be due to drastic hormonal changes which are related to your current age. Do not make drastic life changes or a restricted diet that you cannot sustain. But if you are trying to achieve sustainable healthy living, then a sudden exercise routine would not help.

1. Start with small goals like 3000 steps a day or having plenty of water and it can be customized as per your lifestyle and needs.

2. Check for your blood reports.

3. Check for the obesity stage by calculating your BMI (body mass index).

4. Identify lifestyle changes or stress factors that you have not mentioned.

5. Start with mild exercises and 30 minutes of regular walking.

6. Do not forget to add high-protein post-workout meals and pre-workout meals.

7. Do not skip meals.

8. Avoid processed foods, red meat, and fried food products.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.
