Hello doctor, My wife is 23 years old. She is the mother of one daughter and is a little obese and she wants to reduce the weight. She has tried many exercises and diet plans but all failed. Her height is 5'1" and her weight is 80 kg. Please suggest her to reduce the weight.
Hi. Compared to your wife's height her weight is high. She has to maintain her weight below 62 kg. First of all, we have to find whether there is any underlying cause for this. Do thyroid function tests to rule out thyroid disease. Do USG (ultrasound) to rule out PCOD (polycystic ovary disease). These are the most common disease that causes an increase in weight. Regular use of steroids can also increase weight. Do the tests and review them with results. If you do not have any of the above we can reduce the weight just by regular diet. Do follow up to get a complete weight reduction diet chart.
