What Causes Difficulty In Weight Loss Despite Exercising Regularly?
Good evening. I am 65 years old and have had difficulty loosing weight even tho I walk minimum of 2 miles 5 days /week and watch carefully what I eat. My blood tests, checking the thyroid, always come back normal. But my metabolism is sluggish. It does not matter if I cut out sugar, which I did for 3 weeks and continued to walk with no weight loss. What should I suggest to my doctor that we try? Thank you, Cheryl

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regular exercise, Yoga pranayama plan, Aerobic exercise and strength training plan would help you lose 10 percent of your body weight.
Do not be disheartened as you have to keep patience. A 3 week time is nothing for losing weight.
How much is your weight? Your age is 65, and if you are asking for a remedy for weight loss, then you must mention your height, lifestyle, and age also for proper suggestions. If problem persists consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
