Every time I start working out regularly, I end up having a reduced appetite which in turn makes me lose so much weight that I weigh along the lines of 48-49 kg. I also end up feeling quite lethargic. So I stopped all forms of exercise for a year and my LDL cholesterol went up. I hardly indulge in junk food, I never skip meals, and I eat a balanced diet. Can you suggest ways to help me lower my LDL cholesterol? And also tell me how to incorporate exercise so that I don't lose too much weight?

Hi lybrate-user all these symptoms were probably due to yo yo affect that you are going through. Too much exercise and diet control and then suddenly leaving it is not good. You need to keep exercising but for 40 mins in a day basically yoga .So weight won't go down. Eat foods rich in omega 3 like fish flax seeds chia seeds walnuts .use olive oil Stop refined oils completely.
