Question : I can’t lose weight. I have been trying for last 2 years but unable to lose. Please tell me what I should do to lose weight?
Dear Teentalker,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concern.
Staying in good health is necessary, not only to look good on the outside but also to feel good inside. So, if you wish to lose weight, it is better to get a complete check-up at any weight loss center near your locality and get a body composition analysis (BCA) done. This will help you to understand how much fat you need to lose and how much muscle mass you need to build. The next thing you need to do is make a note of all the food you are eating right through the day. This will give you some idea of healthy and unhealthy eating habits you are likely to indulge in if any.
Having a sound knowledge of what constitutes healthy eating is necessary for you to lose weight.
Be mindful of the fact, that while following a balanced diet is essential, being aware of fad diets, which can do more harm than good in the long run is equally important.
Being physically active is essential in order to stay fit. It is important to make sure that you exercise at least 30-45 minutes or take a brisk walk.
You can do 1 hour workouts to be considered effective.
You can also join a dance workout class if possible. This will also help in accelerating the weight loss process.
But before you do all of this, addressing the root cause of your weight gain is necessary. Is this happening because of stress related to studies or peer pressure? Or is it happening because of some relationship related issues? Addressing the root cause of the concern is necessary so that you can make a realistic plan of your diet and fitness regime.
In the end, never forget, however you look and feel, no one can love you as much as you love yourself. Don’t feel forced to fit into societal norms and feel uncomfortable about yourself. Love yourself.
