Question 1

I'm underweight and really want to gain some weight, but I also want to start exercising and doing yoga. I'm just not sure of the right timing for this so that I don't end up losing more weight. Should I be doing exercises on an empty stomach, or is it better after eating if I'm trying to gain weight?

Accepted Answer

-To gain weight, it's best to exercise after a meal to ensure your body has enough energy. You can do light exercises or yoga in the morning after breakfast or after a balanced meal, as this will support both your weight gain goals and your exercise routi

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my weight. I'm quite obese at the moment and really need to drop around 10 kg quickly. With my height at 5 feet 2 inches, I'm curious, what's the ideal weight I should aim for? Could you suggest some effective ways to get there?

Accepted Answer

It seems you're experiencing chronic constipation and using Eldoper (Loperamide) to manage symptoms.

_Eldoper's Impact on the Liver_

Loperamide is generally considered safe, but long-term use can cause:

1. Liver enzyme elevation
2. Rare cases of liver damage

_Approach to Address the Issue_

1. Consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.
2. Discuss alternative treatments, such as:
    - Fiber supplements
    - Laxatives (e.g., Psyllium, Bisacodyl)
    - Probiotics
    - Bowel habit modification
3. Consider colonoscopy or other diagnostic tests to rule out underlying conditions.
4. Monitor liver function tests (LFTs) regularly if you continue using Loperamide.

_Additional Tips_

1. Increase fiber intake through diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
2. Stay hydrated
3. Establish a regular bowel routine
4. Avoid relying solely on Loperamide for symptom management

Question 3

I want to drop 20 kg in just two months before my sister's wedding. I'm currently weighing 78 kg, but I really want to be at least 60 kg. Is this an achievable goal? What kind of diet or exercise plan would you recommend to make this happen? I'm a bi...

Accepted Answer

It's important to set realistic goals for healthy weight loss, aiming for about 0.51 kg per week. Losing 20 kg in 2 months may be too rapid, which could affect your health. I recommend a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consulting a nutritionist or doctor to guide you safely toward your goal.

Question 4

I'm about 5.1 feet tall and weigh 60kg right now. I'm really hoping to lose around 10kg pretty quickly. Is that doable?

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 5

I'm dealing with hypothyroidism, and my TSH levels are at 11.25. I've also been taking antidepressants, and I've noticed that my weight and belly fat have increased quite a bit. Can you recommend the best cooking oil for someone in my situation? Also...

Accepted Answer

Limit usage of cooking oil and you can try olive oil and do physical excercises to reduce belly fat

Question 6

I'm trying to figure out if it's healthier to have 4 slices of brown bread with peanut butter every morning for breakfast, or if I should stick with the normal white bread. Any insights on which might be better for me?

Accepted Answer

Consuming 4 slices of brown bread with peanut butter daily for breakfast can provide sustained energy and satisfy hunger, but consider the calorie intake (around 320-400 calories) and balance it with other nutrient-rich foods throughout the day, and brown bread is a better choice than white bread due to its higher fiber and nutrient content.
