How can i overcome the problem of overweight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Balance: After ruling out and normalizing metabolic factors related to weight gain (thyroid, Insulin resistance, etc.) creating a calorie imbalance towards burning more calories than you take in will generate weight loss. It takes approximately 8000kcal to burn 1 kg. The regulation of weight is very complex hormonally. Many have proposed a hormonal basis for various diets but the data is limited.
