Weight loss tips to know:
In an earlier interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Jaison Paul Sharma, MBBS, MD (Internal Medicine) – consultant diabetologist at Sharma Hospital in Garhdiwala said, “Focus on whole, unprocessed, fibre-rich foods while reducing intake of ultra-processed carbohydrates and sugary beverages.” He further added that while walking is necessary, it is not enough. Resistance training should be made part of the workout routine. Additionally, he suggested a good sleep routine. “Sleep is another powerful metabolic lever; poor sleep raises ghrelin and cortisol levels, promoting fat gain. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night.”
