I am an business man and my main work is through sitting in the recent 2 years my weight is 100 kg. What should I do to lose my weight? Should I take any medicine or capsules?

Question

Hello lybrate-user,
yes indeed this is quite a bit of weight for your age and you are quite right in being concerned about it. This kind of excess weight is breeding ground for many diseases which can affect the quality of your life ahead. I do not believe in recommending medicines for weightloss. This is a lifestyle related issue and it can be surely treated with intensive lifestyle modification program.
Most people who are fat are made to feel that it is because you lack will power, you are lethargic and a weak person. But that is definitely not true. It is your your hormones which have made you fat and keeping you fat. Unless we make correct diagnosis and and create a diet and lifestyle plan to correct that hormonal abnormalities you will not be able to lose weight for long term. Most diet fails because they are low calorie and low fat. Instead of correcting metabolism, they make you feel low energy or makes you feel excessively hungry. If you are doing regular exercise, it will increase your fitness but it does not reduce weight much. To achieve weightloss - think long term. Weight loss achieved over short term, always comes back.
There is a general approach and a specific approach as per individual patients metabolic profile. Try this general approach (see below) for 4 weeks. If this works then continue. If this is not enough then revert for further assessment and customized approach.
1. Do not eat anything sugary or sweet. Zero sweetness in diet.
2. Eat plenty of salad in lunch and dinner along with other foods.
3. Do not drink any liquid calorie like cola or fruit juices.
4. Continue brisk walks or jogging for 45 - 60 minutes every day.
