Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Your BMI seems to be high (grade-I obese) according to your height and weight.

For a aim to lose weight,medicines are not advisable as they contain many side effects and withdrawal of the same may cause rebound increase in weight.

To loose weight, exercises and diet should be executed accordingly.

Starting from '0' means that your past exercises and diet plans must be discarded and set your things as I am saying considering that there is no disease or any medication.

A) exercises should be started initially mildly i.e. brisk walking, cycling, slow running for up to 7 days. If you have exercises cycle with calorie meter then you can calculate the figure of kilo-calorie what you are burning in a day. You start burning 200 kilo-calories per day with this exercises for just half an hour.

B) Strict diet plan:

• Reduce the calorie intake: Foods rich in fat or sugar and the refined foods like refined wheat flour, provides more calories. It is advisable to limit the intake of these foods in the diet. You can start with a simple practice of avoiding sugar in your beverages like, tea and coffee, replacing the white bread slices with whole wheat breads.

• Choose the fat wisely: The saturated fats like ghee, vabaspati, cream and butter do not qualify to be a part of your weight loss plan. Vegetable oils are much safer when taken in controlled quantities. Limit the oil intake and completely avoid taking the deep or shallow fried foods. Nuts like almond and walnut are loaded with healthy fats. and can be included in the diet.

• Include fiber in diet: Fiber is the insoluble parts of the plant food sources. Since they are not digested in our gut, they remain to be there for longer time and do not make us feel hungry. The fiber rich foods like beans, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and cereals, fruits and vegetables are found to be helpful in losing weight.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink water and other drinks like sugar free lemon juice and clear soups to keep the body hydrated. Salted lemon juice, tender coconut water, clear soups and buttermilk may also be included but avoid the fresh fruit juices, carbonated beverages, soda and Sherbets that have added sugar.

• Divide your meals into smaller but frequent portions. And start the meals with raw salads, clear soups or even a glass of plain water.

• Choose the low fat dairy products like low fat paneer and low fat curd.

Also take as much as water in a day as it is flushes the all system from metabolic wastes and toxins.

Thanks and regards,
