You should consult an endocrinologist or a clinical nutritionist. Since weight issues can often be linked to underlying hormonal factors like insulin resistance or thyroid imbalance, a medical professional's guidance is much safer than following crash diets.

You can start by visiting a general physician or a dietitian at a government hospital to keep costs low. They can prescribe basic blood tests for thyroid and sugar levels, which helps you plan your diet without spending a fortune on expensive wellness clinics.

A general physician or an endocrinologist is the right doctor to see. Many people come to my shop looking for fat-burner pills, but it is much safer to let a doctor check your hormone levels and advise a proper healthy routine.

I went to an endocrinologist when my weight loss stalled despite gymming. Turned out my thyroid was slightly off, and once we corrected that with proper medical advice, the fat loss became much easier.

An endocrinologist or a certified diabetic educator is the best doctor for this. Managing my weight safely while having diabetes required careful adjustment of my food portions and blood sugar monitoring, rather than random fasting.
