Hello,
Weight gain is commonly due to intake of steroids either orally or via shots. It can be due to side effects of certain medications and addictions. Other medical conditions that cause weight gain are thyroid issues, genetics, addiction to eating food, genetically engineered food, high carbs and sugar intakes, stressful life, anxiety and tensions. You are suggested to do regular walking, start with one kms and slowly go for two kms. Do stretch exercises or visit gym. Stay adequately hydrated.
Take boiled food for a couple of days, preferably leafy greens and veggies, whole cereals, skimmed milk, small fishes and lean meat. Avoid trans fat, spicy oily food, cheese, full fat dairy products, sweets, desserts, cold drinks, etc. Avoid junk food, take home made healthy food. To prevent bumps and acne, get clinically tested for your hormone levels. Get treated at the earliest. Avoid red meat. Take yogurts, cucumbers, papayas, gourds, black tea, parsley. Let body get rid of toxic products naturally.
Bumps, acne, pimple occur due to poor hygiene and constipation. Take fiber rich food or take laxatives at bed time. Take regular bath at least two times a day. Wear soft cotton clothes. You can apply Betnovate ointment at bed time on the acne and bumps and wash it off in the morning. Do not apply it during day and avoid direct exposure to sunlight. You can take a course of Doxycycline to get rid of bumps faster if you do not have allergy to it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
