I'm a mom to a 4-year-old delivered via C-section and struggling with postpartum weight loss. Can you suggest a safe and effective diet plan that works for my situation? I'm also unsure about exercises that won't strain my C-section scar. What would you recommend for gradual and sustainable weight loss?

I'm really worried about drinking thums up every day. I usually have about 1400 ml a day, and now I'm worried it might be bad for my health. Are there any side effects I should know about? And if there are any benefits, I'd love to hear about those too.

I'm trying to lose weight but I'm not sure how to do it safely without exercise because of my torn ACL. I weigh 85 kg and my height is 175 cm my goal is to get down to 70 kg in 5 months, aiming for 3 kg per month. Since I can't work out due to my knee injury and upcoming surgery in May 2017, can I rely just on dieting to lose the weight? Are there any allopathy treatments that could help with weight loss?
