Hello Meghana, We see this kind of resistance many times. When you do repeated low calorie and low fat diets with intention to lose weight you body's metabolism slows down. It will adjust to the lower calorie intake by spending less energy to function. As a result you may even feel tired, lack of enthusiasm, at time irritable and craving of food. It is important to make a proper diagnosis with some biochemical test as to where is the breakdown in your hormonal levels. Once that is done, You have to eat appropriate diet. Most likely you will have to eat more food to lose weight. I know it sounds strange but we see this every day. Eating right kind of food at right time of the day in correct frequency is key to weight loss. We recommend our patients to work on all 4 aspects simultaneously for belly reduction - 1. Nutritional change as per hormones. 2. stress management by meditation training 3. mild to moderate exercise 4-5 times a week as per fitness level and 4. sleep improvement.
