I'm badly looking to lose weight. But I have gallstones of 7 mm size (not much symptoms) and fatty liver grade 1. I'm very interested to do intermittent fasting to lose weight. Can I fast with gallstones? Need suggestions please.

Fasting can never lead to weight loss. It’s a myth. Our body needs food. What is important is what we eat, in how much quantity n when (timings). Like we skip bfast n then have heavy lunch. Even if you take very nutritious well balanced dinner at 10-11 am. Even then also it will be converted to fats. As our body wants to retire at that time n what we do we give it work (digestion ). For weight loss (fat loss not muscle loss) actually to happen first of all you should change your eating habits like 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U can eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Avoid fast foods n fried foods7.take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 8. Drink lot of water9. Everyday preferably sleep on same time 10. Maintain active life style exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, swimming, gymming etc. Now about point no. 10. You should join a gym for weight training. Do it 2-3 times a week with at least 48 hours in between 2 sessions. On other days you can do cardio exercises. Till lock down do suryanamaskar.
