Q&A

Skipping meals might cause temporary weight loss, but it often leads to overeating later in the day. It can also reduce muscle mass instead of fat, making it an unhealthy and unsustainable approach unless medically supervised.

Detox diets are largely a myth. The body naturally eliminates toxins through the liver, kidneys, and skin. Maintaining good hydration, eating balanced meals, and getting adequate sleep are far more effective ways to support natural detoxification.

Fruit juices, though rich in vitamins, lack fiber and contain high amounts of natural sugar. This causes rapid sugar spikes and crashes, making them less ideal for weight management compared to whole fruits.

Lemon water doesnt directly burn fat but can aid hydration and slightly reduce appetite. It serves as a refreshing, low-calorie start to the day that encourages healthier habits.

Gluten-free diets are necessary only for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. They dont inherently promote weight loss, as gluten-free foods can still contain similar or even higher calorie content.

Yes. Fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, and kimchi support gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. A healthy gut microbiome enhances metabolism and may assist in maintaining an ideal weight.

Complete avoidance isnt necessary. Moderation is key-try smaller portions using the three-bite rule. Keeping daily sugar intake within 5-10 grams helps balance enjoyment with health.

Natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit are generally safer choices. Its best to limit or avoid artificial additives such as aspartame or maltodextrin, which may still add calories and impact metabolism

Not necessarily. Vegetarian meals can be rich in carbohydrates. To make them balanced, include adequate protein sources such as lentils, beans, tofu, and dairy products.

Theres no need to avoid rice completely. Controlling portions and pairing rice with vegetables, pulses, and lean protein ensures a nutritious and satisfying meal without compromising weight goals.
