How To Lose Weight Gained By Taking Epilim Chrono?

How to lose weight gained by taking Epilim Chrono 300. Hi, i m on Epilim for my Epilepsy. I have gained a kg but it fluctuates every now and then and when the scale reading goes up, it depresses me even though i try not to think too much about it. Currently, i m at 51kg and at 161cm tall. I m 17 years old this year, and i ve seen one of the answers given to a similar question as mine and i wouldn t want to be deficient in vitamin d and e, especially when most of the foods that contain these two vitamins are foods i really like. i drink at least 2 litres of water per day, and about 1200-1300 calories per day too. i would like to know if there is a diet plan that is suitable for me.

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.

I don't think you need to lose weight . Your bmi is 19.67 so is in normal range.
I think you should eat a bit more than 1200-1300 calories .An average woman needs to eat about 2000 calories per day to maintain, and 1500 calories to lose one pound of weight per week.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
I find this answer helpful
