I've been struggling with managing my weight and height because I'm 100kg and 58 feet tall. I really want to adopt a healthy diet and exercise plan, but I'm so busy with my studies that I can't find the time for regular exercise. I'm worried about how this is affecting my health. Can you suggest a simple and effective plan that fits into a hectic schedule?
Given your busy schedule, aim for a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. For exercise, try incorporating short, effective sessions like 20-30 minutes of walking, cycling, or home workouts that you can fit into your routine, even if it's just a few times a week. Consistency is key!
