How Can I Lose Weight Quickly And Effectively?
Losing weight can be tough, but don't worry, there are other ways to help. Until quick weight loss, you could continue healthy nutrition and maintain physical activity. Additionally, the reasons for being overweight are not only overeating but also health problems such as an impaired metabolic system. On the other hand, if the weights are not reducing, this might be because of the lack of certain medical conditions like delayed metabolism or many different hormonal imbalances.

Why am I not gaining weight as a footballer?
If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.

My daughter is obese weight 110 kg , age 19
- You should approach a nutritionist/dietician regarding her first and put her on dieting & lifestyle modifications.
- Once it's ruled out that they aren't yielding desirable results, then she can move on to endoscopic procedures or other weight-loss surgeries, they are only concerned with limiting food intake, and are as mentioned below:
- Gastric bypass, gastric binding, gastric sleeve, Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch -- but the doctor will determine whether she's eligible or not, depending on her health background and pace of weight loss.
- The doctor shall guide on everything, just make them aware of her expectations, limitations and pre-existing health conditions as they could limit certain options and the dietician would have an easier way of providing realistic goals.

I am retired Banker. I gained weight suddenly. Now I'm 85kg. I used to be 74-75 kg. My mother was having artheritise. I want to take precaution. Please help me.
Focus on eating a balanced diet that is low in fat and sugar, and high in fiber. Do physical activity regularly like walking, jogging, biking, swimming or any other form of exercise. But make sure you don't have any joint issues. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. It is also important to reduce stress and make sure to visit your doctor regularly to discuss any further health concerns.

Need to know the methods for weight loss either surgical or through medicines. Secondly what will it cost.
- Your weight loss journey will start with dieting, exercise and lifestyle changes, and in the event that they don't yield desired results, only then will you be considered for some medication or surgical treatment, but that would be side-by-side your dieting, exercising, and lifestyle fixes.
- To move on to medication, you would have to meet one of the following criteria:
- Your body mass index (BMI) is equal to or greater than 30
- Your BMI is greater than 27, and additionally you have medical complications related to obesity as well, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea
- Before prescribing any medication, your doctor will consider your health background, as well as possible side effects. Weight loss medicine approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), include the following, but you would need to be monitored:
- Orlistat (Alli, Xenical)
- Phentermine and topiramate (Qsymia)
- Bupropion and naltrexone (Contrave)
- Liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza)
When you stop taking a weight-loss medication, you may regain more or all of the weight that you had lost. There could be side effects & risks too, so keep your doctor updated on regular basis.
- Endoscopic surgeries: they are less invasive and are concerned with surgical procedures which limit your capacity to consume food, such as the methods mentioned below:
- Placing stitches in your stomach to reduce its size and the amount of food you can consume.
- Or inserting a small balloon into your stomach, which is then filled with water to reduce the amount of space available. This helps you feel fuller faster.
- Bariatric surgeries: These are surgical procedures which can have the same function as endoscopic surgeries, but with more invasive methodologies.
- You will qualify for them if earlier methods failed, but either if you are extremely obese (BMI of 40 or greater), or if your BMI is between 35 to 39.9 and same is coupled with a serious weight-related problem, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Following are the procedures you can be considered for: gastric by-pass, adjustable gastric banding, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and gastric sleeve.
- Vagal nerve blockade:
- It involves implantation of device under the skin of the abdomen which sends intermittent electrical pulses to the abdominal vagus nerve, same signals the brain when the stomach feels empty or full.
- Can be used for adults who have not been able to lose weight and who have a BMI of 35 to 45 with at least one obesity-related condition.
- Coming to weight loss treatment cost, the surgical procedures will cost anywhere between Rs. 2,25,000 to Rs. 7,00,000. Whereas for dieting related consultation it can vary from rs. 1,200 to rs. 20,000.

I am 33 year old female suffering from PCOD, I weight about 84kgs, have done thyroid test and it's normal. In hormonal test I have male hormone in excess. I want to go for stomach liposuction.. What's the possibility of me doing it and hiw much is tentative cost
PCOS should not cause any complication as far as liposuction is concerned, but know that it is not a weight loss surgery or procedure, it can be helpful only if you have localized deposits of fats stored within certain parts of your body and which refuses to burn out no matter how much weight you lose or how fit your body is overall.
Additionally, you should look out for health conditions such as suppressed immune system, heart disease, diabetes, and problems with blood flow, as they make you ineligible.
Also, don't go for this surgery if your weight isn't 30% within your ideal weight, if you don't have a firm or elastic skin, or if you smoke.
Liposuction surgery cost can go up to Rs. 1,54,000 or more.
If you are looking to lose weight, then contact these experts - Obesity Specialists in Delhi. But if you feel that you can proceed with this surgery going by eligibility criteria which was mentioned, then approach relevant experts - Liposuction doctors in Delhi. Let us know if you reside in a different city, and come to us if you have any other doubt which is still not addressed!
