Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My sister is overweight. Her height is 5 feet 8 inches, and her weight is 176 lbs. She has to sit for long hours for her job and has no physical activity. Kindly suggest a diet plan, medications, and exercises to reduce her weight.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern and would be happy to help.

I suggest her the below plan:

1. Exercise regularly.

2. Prefer foods high in protein and fiber.

3. Consume more vegetables.

4. Avoid non-vegetarian foods and cold drinks.

5. Avoid sugary and processed foods.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
