Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 and have been battling my weight for a while. I am worried about my health and want to keep making progress, but I do not know what else to try. Should I change my diet or exercise more? Has anyone else been through this? I am open to suggestions or tips to help me get back on track.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for posting your query.

Decreasing your intake of processed foods and added sugar can help you lose weight in seven days. Drinking plenty of water and adding fiber to your diet might also help. Many factors influence your ability to lose weight, and it is better to aim for slower and more sustainable weight loss. Cutting back on calories and engaging in regular physical activity may lead to gradual and sustained weight loss. Experts recommend getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week and eating 500 fewer calories a day to lose up to one pound per week. If you have been stuck in a plateau for weeks, it usually indicates that calorie input is equal to calorie output. The only way to break through a weight-loss plateau is to cut calorie intake further or burn more calories through exercise.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
