FAQs on Weight Loss
Q. How to lose weight quickly?
While rapid weight loss may seem appealing, the healthiest and most sustainable way to lose weight is gradually. To lose weight, you must focus on reducing refined carbs and added sugars, increasing your intake of lean protein and vegetables, staying hydrated, and engaging in regular physical activity like cardio and strength training. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any rapid weight loss plan.
Q.Can medications cause weight gain?
Yes, some medications, such as antidepressants, corticosteroids, and insulin, can lead to weight gain as a side effect. It is advised to consult a doctor to confirm the underlying cause.
Q. Can stress result in weight gain?
Chronic stress triggers the release of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can increase appetite and cravings for high-calorie foods, leading to weight gain over time.
Q. How can excess weight affect your health?
Obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, joint problems, sleep apnea, and certain cancers.
Q. How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
Calorie needs vary depending on your current weight and the goal you're aiming to achieve. However, creating a daily deficit of 500 to 750 calories can help you lose about 0.5 to 1 kg per week. It is advised to consult a nutritionist for a personalised plan.
Q. Is exercise necessary for weight loss?
While diet plays a major role, regular exercise boosts metabolism, burns calories, and helps maintain muscle mass, making weight loss more sustainable. A combination of cardio (like walking, running, cycling) and strength training is most effective for losing weight and improving overall fitness.
Q. Can I lose weight without dieting?
Weight loss without dieting strictly is possible. You will have to focus on clean & mindful eating (cutting down refined and processed foods), control your portion size, and increase daily physical activity.
Q. How does sleep affect weight loss?
Poor sleep disrupts hunger hormones (leptin & ghrelin), leading to increased appetite and cravings, which can hinder weight loss and contribute to weight gain.
Q. Are weight loss supplements safe and effective?
While some weight loss supplements may be effective, many may not be FSSAI-approved and can have side effects. It's safer to consult a healthcare professional before taking any supplement and rely on evidence-based approaches like a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Q. When should I consult a doctor for weight issues?
If you're unable to lose weight despite making lifestyle changes or if the excess weight is affecting your health, consult a doctor or weight loss specialist for guidance.
