Patient discussion about making weight.

Q. how should i treat people who make fun at me because i am over weight?

A. Well I don't think there's a good answer for that because I don't know you and what you are able to deal with or not, however, I think it all depends on how you see yourself. If you are bothered by the weight issue than it doesn't matter what others say or how much they will make fun of you, you should decide yourself you are not pleased with it. But- if you have no problem with being over weight, not look wise and not health wise, you should care less what others have to say...

Q. Is there any exercise that I can do which will improve my fitness and will not make me lose more weight? I am a 17 year old girl, and I want to start exercising. I am concerned as I am underweight and I do not want to lose any more weight. Is there any exercise that I can do which will improve my fitness and will not make me lose more weight? . Also I have done some research on various exercises but was confused with the diet pattern. I do understand that exercising and diet have to be balanced and I would like to hear from someone who can suggest me the best.

A. Maya, you can relax :) if you are under weighted and you'll start exercising regularly it won't make you disappear... physical activity will increase your weight. that is because you don't have much fat cells to burn and you muscles will grow bigger and stronger. so don't worry about it - every sport will be good for you.

Q. I would like to know whether my diet is making me feel more confident or is it actually my lowering weight. I love various types of food and even though I take balanced diet now, I have been eating a lot of fatty foods earlier and my diet was not balanced. That was the reason I did become overweight. With regular exercise I am able to reduce my fat and weight. I am finding increase in my confidence. I would like to know whether my diet is making me feel more confident or is it actually my lowering weight.

A. It is because of food intake. Change in diet can change the person’s mood as well. A proper diet can maintain normal weight, make your muscle function well and also increases its flexibility, keeps diseases away, enhances immunity, controls your emotions for right and also calms your mind.
