[|Human|] Hello doctor how are you I have a question after coming back from a holiday I weighted myself and saw an increase in 5 kg in one week I managed to lose 1 kg using duromine I used to take duromine last year and I had one week supply left over so I used that I have also noticed my waist increase I never had an increase waist even when I was fat I had a flat stomach now it s all flabby. Also in past month my salt intake was high as well as I really like salty things is it just water retention or could there be something els I have stopped eating nearly nd still waist has not dropped do u think I would have some other sort of disease such as liver
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor.  Hope you are doing good. We often gain weight rapidly without knowing it the cause could be eating habits, limited physical activity and much more. Bromine tablets are not effective if you don't have control over your diet and do not physically active (I mean enough exercise to burn fats). Advance re-search also shows that one of the cause of weight gain is not proper functioning of liver. But in your case I think don't blame the liver.  Let Me give you simple plan: If you burn 500 more calories than you eat every day for a week, you should lose about 1-2 pounds. If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to eat less and exercise more. For instance, if you take in 1,050 to 1,200 calories a day, and exercise for one hour per day, you could lose 3-5 pounds in the first week, or more. Limiting salt and starches may also mean losing more weight at first -- but that's mostly fluids, not fat. When you reduce sodium and cut starches, you reduce fluids and fluid retention, which can result in up to 5 pounds of fluid loss when you get started. You did not mention your body weight and height with that could give you better idea that how much should you loose.  I hope have answered your query. Feel free to ask if you have any query. Wish you good health. Regards
