Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for the query.
I would like to know few more things which would help me in suggesting you better:
1.) Have you put on this weight recently?
2.) Are your Periods regular?
3.) Do you have history of any medical illness such as diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or hypothyroidism?
4.) Are you on any medications?
Based on your anthropometric measurements, your are overweight and not obese. Bringing your weight to normal range should not be a difficult task, but you should have some patience and dedication.
Following these lifestyle modifications will help you achieve this task :
1.) Eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and XXXXXXX leafy vegetables.
2.) Avoid dieting, eat and sleep on time.
3.) Sleep for a minimum of 8 hours daily.
4.) Eat 6 small meals instead of 3 large meals a day.
5.) Avoid stress, practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation. Yoga has proved to show excellent results in weight reduction programmes.
6.) Avoid alcohol and smoking, if you do.
7.) Drink 2 glasses of water before each meal.
8.) Have a healthy heavy breakfast, medium sized lunch and less quantity of dinner.
9.) Go for regular brisk walks, including aerobic exercises for 40 minutes daily, 5 days a week.
10.) If you have any Hormonal Imbalance, like Irregular periods, excess facial hair, speak to your Gynecologist.
Follow these lifestyle regimen religiously, you should see excellent results in 3 months.
