Question

Do not look for short cuts or quick fix methods to weight loss and do not believe in anything posted on social media unless it comes through an expert (with genuine degree in the field) and with scientific basis. If you desire to lose weight healthily and sustainably, I would advise you to lose 3-4 kgs in a month with a wholesome diet and exercise. Focus on high protein, low fat intake and restrict carbohydrates to high fibre foods only. Avoid simple sugars completely. Eat outside food less and have good quantity of fresh foods (Fruits, Vegetables) which are not processed. Have small and frequent meals. Have plenty of water and sleep well. If you need us to help you with proper customised Diet plans for weight loss, you can opt for our online program or contact us through Lybrate' private consult'

Looking for short cuts, will not reduce your weight because you are not solving the real problem. You are not facing the real issue. The real issue is the food habits and lifestyle that contributes this excess weight. You have to lose those habits. You have to reduce that binge eating, only then your problem will start getting resolved. Do not look for medicines or short cuts. Nothing of that sort works. No medicine, no herb, no tea, no drink, no supplements, no shakes, no belts can reduce body fat/ weight. The sooner you accept this fact, the sooner you can start working on the real solutions of food control and activities enhancement. It will be best to consult a dietiican who can customise a diet for you.
