Q. |
I am 31 years old, 4-11 in height, 120lbs. I am attempting to lose 20lbs permanently. I've been yo-yo dieting between 105-120 for many years. In the past, I've used prescription diet pills, but it isn't a long term solution. The weight just came back on as soon as I went off the diet pills.
It seems like a constant battle and I am always hungry. I have had the best luck losing weight on a diet of lo fat protein, vegetables and limited carbohydrates, and I exercise moderately.
I am preoccupied with hunger feelings that cause me to overeat, could there be something wrong with me medically?
Do you take new patients-or is there someone in the west palm beach area that you could recommend?

hi i m 17 & i am 5'2. i weigh abt 60kilograms.ii had suddenly gained around 12kg in 4 -5 months time.How can i lose these extra kilos.please help. |

Ahana, India 5/29/03
|
|
Dear Ahana:
Thanks for the message. Sudden weight gain is probably due to a change in your diet (increase calories), lack of exercise, or a medical condition requiring medical treatment (steroids)
I suggest to review your diet and to reduce the consumption of carbohydrates (rice) and to integrate a daily exercise program in your life.
Please discuss any medical problems with your doctor.

Your weight is well within the normal range (Body mass index 23) and I recommend daily exercise to tone your muscles thereby reshaping your body.
