Should I cleanse my body before starting workout to reduce weight?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 22 years old and a mother of three kids. I am overweight. I currently weigh 180 lbs and I am 5'1". I have decided that I want to change my life around and start eating healthy, stop smoking, start exercising, etc. I just want to be the best role model for my kids. My question is, what should I do to start this journey? Should I cleanse my body first before I start working out. If so, how to start? I just do not know where to start. Can you help me?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is really nice to hear that you want to have a change in your life. This will be an example for other ladies also.

Cleansing the body is essential, but before that cleanse your mind with lots of positive attitude towards life. Never forget to pamper yourself.

Always try to find some time to go through some motivational videos every day that will increase your motivation.

Fix a proper routine time everyday for waking up, cooking, prepare your children, lunch, snacks and dinner.

Go for an evening walk every day along with your children if possible, so that you can look after them.

Follow a strict diet, cut down carbohydrates from your diet chart and add more protein with cereals and pulses. Add green vegetables and fruits.

Do meditation and yoga every day for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Spend more quality time with your children; play with them with lots of playful activities, which will in turn become a workout for you.

Do stretching exercises for your upper, lower body and trunk to improve your flexibility.

Follow these simple steps for a month and then you can post me back with your feedback. Have a nice fresh beginning again in your life. Best of luck.
