My weight is 87?kg, and my height is 170?cm. Can I take Orlistat 120?mg tablets for weight reduction, or could you please suggest alternative options?

Orlistat 120 mg can help with weight loss by reducing fat absorption, but it should only be taken under a doctor's advice. Include a balanced low-calorie diet, regular exercise, good sleep, and checking for any underlying conditions like thyroid or diabetes that might affect weight. Your doctor can help decide if a medication is suitable for you.

Is there any treatment for lipoma without surgery? What diet can help reduce it, and what foods should I take to prevent it?

Lipomas usually don't go away without surgery, and no specific diet can remove them. Eating healthy, balanced meals, avoiding too much oily or junk food, and staying active may help prevent new growths. Regular checkups can help monitor existing lipomas.

How can I lose weight quickly in a short period of time?

Losing weight quickly is usually not healthy or sustainable. Aim for steady weight loss by reducing sugar and refined carbs, controlling portion sizes, and exercising at least 30-45 minutes daily. Focus on consistency, proper sleep, and hydration for safe and lasting results.

I follow a completely vegetarian diet and want to lose weight. How can I do it effectively?

To lose weight on a vegetarian diet, focus on portion control and choose high-protein foods like dal, beans, tofu, paneer (in moderation), and sprouts, along with plenty of vegetables and whole grains. Reduce sugary, fried, and refined foods, and aim for at least 30-45 minutes of regular exercise most days. Consistency with healthy eating and activity will give steady, sustainable results.

Can you suggest any safe medicines or supplements to help accelerate weight loss? I am 5?ft?11?in tall and weigh 95?kg. I have stopped drinking tea, coffee, and sugary drinks, and I exercise regularly, but I feel it is not helping me lose weight fast enough.

At 5 ft 11 in and 95 kg, your weight is slightly above ideal, but quick weight loss is not always safe. There is no completely risk-free weight loss medicine, and most supplements give limited results. It is better to focus on a calorie-controlled, high-protein diet, strength training, along with cardio, proper sleep, and consistency. If needed, consult a doctor to check thyroid and sugar levels and discuss medically approved weight-loss options.

I had my last period 10 months ago. I weigh 74 kg and am 5'3". I want to lose weight. What would you advise?

Since you have not had your period for 10 months, it is important to first consult a gynaecologist to rule out causes like hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, PCOS, or perimenopause. For weight loss, focus on portion control, reducing sugar and refined carbs, and doing at least 30-45 minutes of brisk walking or exercise daily. Proper sleep and stress control also play an important role.
