One of the most frequently asked questions in OPD!
Weight loss has a very important role in most dermatology diseases, as many of them are aggravated by obesity or get better after reducing weight.
like
-Tinea infections
- Intertrigo
-Folliculitis/furuncles
-Diabetic dermatosis
-Hirsutism, acne related to hormonal imbalance
I always write to reduce weight in the prescriptions and then every patient asks me
*HOW*
A nutritionist /dietician can give you the appropriate answer. I am sharing a link here.
**
MAAYDA GHAURI is a very sweet and board-certified nutritionist, who has answers to all your queries.
Here are some important tips from my personal weight loss experience
First and most important is to rule out the cause of obesity as some may have some underlying disorders like
-Thyroid disorders
-Hormonal imbalance
-Diabetes or other endocrinology disorders
-Drugs that cause weight gain.

After that, according to my experience
1)Intermittent fasting is the most effective and relativelv new trend in weight loss. You have to consult your nutritionist for the details of intermittent fasting
*Believe me, it works.*
2) High-protein, low-carb and low-fat diet
3) High fiber intake
4) Keep hydrated
5) Portion control
6)But don't forget to take milk, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables which are essentials
7) The best time to have your main or bigger meal is breakfast, as an old saying:
"Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."
8) Dinner should not be after 6 or 7 pm
9)Cut down whites like sugar, salt, and rice
10) And of course, daily workout (walk, treadmill, exercise) at least for 30 minutes
Now the fun part which is also very important is *"*CHEAT DAY *"*once a week but only at breakfast or brunch time.

A tremendous buzz surrounds COLLAGEN DRINKS & SUPPLEMENTS as celebrities and influencers tout miraculous benefits for skin, hair, and nails.

But what does the science say?

Collagen is a major structural protein in our tissues. It is found in skin, hair, nails, tendons, cartilage and bones.
Collagen production starts to decrease in your 20s.

Oral supplementation with collagen peptides has increased in popularity in recent years.
But currently, no medical evidence supports marketing claims that collagen supplements or drinks can improve skin texture or hair growth.

Our bodies naturally produce collagen using the amino acids from protein-rich foods like bone broth, meat, and fish, but Aging, Sun damage, Smoking, Pollution, and Alcohol consumption all decrease collagen production.
Our bodies cannot absorb collagen in its whole form to enter the bloodstream. It must be broken down into peptides, so it can be absorbed to the gut. So far no human studies have proven that collagen you take orally will end up in your skin hair, or nails.

If your goal is to improve skin texture and elasticity and minimize wrinkles, you're better off focusing on sun protection and using topical retinoids.
Extensive research has already demonstrated that these measures are effective.

Talk to your dermatologist for advice on the range of options.

*Follow a healthy lifestyle and eat a balanced diet that includes protein-rich foods.
*If you smoke, quit
*Apply sunscreen daily and remember to reapply every three hours.
*Wear wide-brimmed hats and UV-protective clothing when you are spending a lot of time in the Sun.

Sources of collagen are:

*Bone broth (simmering animal bones & connective tissues create bone broth)
*Fish
*Eggs
*Chicken skin and cartilage. (Wings, legs, and feet are rich in Type II Collagen)
*Citrus fruits, like oranges and lemons are high in vitamin C, which helps form collagen.
*Leafy greens, like spinach, and kale are rich in antioxidants, which help produce collagen.
*Berries, like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are high in vitamin C and antioxidants.

Other ways to support collagen production including protein-rich food are food that contains vitamin D calcium, copper, and zinc.
