I was 75 kg before 2 years. After that I slightly kind of became a stress eater. That means from a certain point in my life till now, eating different kinds of tasty oily food only gives me happiness. If I become sad also I eat so much and happy also I eat too much. Usually breakfast I will skip, lunch I will eat very less and night I eat so much of food. As a result I am now 100 kg. I want to reduce. I'm 175 cm height. Please help me doctors!

You are into a problem called 'Emotional Eating'. There is some disturbance happening in your life, which you are not able to resolve. It may be Academic/Social/Professional or Love issue. And because of this disturbance you tend to binge eat, which comforts you till the next morning. You need to break this cycle of Dieting and Binge Eating. Firstly try to resolve or speak to someone about your issue. Never blame yourself for your problems. You can always fight and overcome issues over a period a time. 1. Drink a glass of water every hour from waking till 8 pm. 2. Eat an apple after waking up. 3. Eat breakfast of 2 plain roti/idli/multi.g bread + Milk 4. Eat light meals. Never remain hungry. 5. Do exercise / walk in the park regularly. 6. Join a gym if possible. 7. Respect your body, Love yourself. 8. Fight your problems, never give up.

Dealing with stress by eating is a common occurrence. 'Comfort food' tends to make you feel better because it is usually something delicious, fried or sweet, and loaded with calories. It is also seen that people with anxiety and depression tend to resort to comfort eating. The problem is that being overweight or obese puts you at a high risk for heart disease and diabetes. I suggest you talk to a psychiatrist to look for any depression or anxiety. If that is the underlying cause, medication and counseling will help you. Other than that you need to consult an experienced nutritionist who will help you plan a diet which suits your lifestyle. Don't go for any fad diets or plans which are in vogue; not all of them are suitable for everyone to implement. You will need to incorporate exercise along with dietary modification and lifestyle change. The best results are seen with a combination of diet and exercise. Before starting any form of exercise, consult a doctor and get a check up done. Do not opt for very strenuous exercise immediately as you might injure yourself or harm yourself. Keep in mind this is a long road, with lot of obstacles, but with motivation and hard work you will be able to achieve your goals. Wish you the best.
