How To Lose Weight?

I want to lose weight for total knee surgery by taking Garcinia products, but I also take many medications. I don t know if it will interact with what I m taking then or not. I take Atenolol, Hydrochlorot, a thyroid medication now, Potassium, and a nasal spray and allergy pill, and Diclofenac, and Tramadol for pain.

Hi,

It is better not to use any weight loss supplements even if they are herbal when you take a number of medicines and you should rely more on proper diet or exercise.

Weight loss is a combination of a healthy and nutritious diet, regular workout, proper sleep and above all maintaining persistence in a healthy schedule.

I would suggest you maintain a proper metabolism of the body by eating small meals every 2 to 3 hours. You can take 3 major meals that are breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Eat minimum in dinner and in breakfast should be a combination of small portions of foods that can contain calories in high concentration also like any piece of sweets/deserts etc as they get digested throughout the day.

In mid meals you can eat sprouts, fruits like apple, oranges and salads like carrots, cucumber etc Drink 3 to 4 litres of water per day. Do regular workouts and weight training under an expert guidance.

Yoga can be very beneficial. Avoid stress as it can cause overheating and also disturb your schedule and cause a negative effect on weight loss.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Honey Arora, Dentist
