Are you trying everything to lose weight but still not seeing results?
Hi, I’m Dr. Pal, and today I’m busting 10 of the most common weight loss myths that many people in India still believe. From lemon water hacks to low-fat diet fads, I’m going to tell you what actually works, and what’s just…viral nonsense.
If you’re confused by all the advice online, eat less, work out more, skip dinner, drink detox teas, this video will clear it up for good.
Weight loss isn’t about starving, spending hours at the gym, or popping supplements. It’s about understanding your body, your gut, your stress, your sleep, and making sustainable changes.
I’ll also share science-backed tips that I give my own patients. These are things that work in real life especially if you’re someone living in an Indian city, juggling work, home, and health.
If you’ve been trying to lose belly fat, deal with PCOS, thyroid issues, or feel stuck despite dieting, this video is for you.
Let’s make your weight loss journey smarter, simpler, and gut-friendly.

This guy is useless
I have tried so many times with thyroid and anti tpo i m on 120 very stressd pls help what should i do
Please make a video on fat loss for teens
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at age 16. And later I was told to do TPO antibodies test, my antibodies were 716 and I was told I had hypothyroidism developed due to Hashimotos Thyroiditis where my immune system attacks my thyroid gland.. None has yet answered to why I got this. I was an active kid, I used to play karate on weekends, go to bharatnatyam classes 3 days a week, play badminton and other outdoor games every evening, was a bright student with rest memory, used to eat healthy home cooked food and had ample sleep with a good sleep schedule. Why did I still get it ? I am taking the medicine for last 18 Years, developed several deficiencies including B12 and D3, took supplements when required, had PCOS 2 years after diagnosis of hypothyroidism, recovered from that, went through cycles of severe hairfall, became anemic, healed from that, had several accidents and got bones fractured due to low vit D, fixed that, got brain fog, gained weight, my face started looking different, got heavy periods, felt sluggish, metabolism went for a toss and so many more things. And every doctor pointed the root cause to hypothyroidism caused by Hashimotos Thyroiditis. And yet nobody nowhere is talking about this when around half the women population is going through this. Is there a way to live and function normally with this condition? If Yes pls give us proper guidelines. Because everytime I go to a doctor he just asks me to lose weight, and even after doing that ( I lost 11kgs), it is still difficult to keep energy levels like a normal person, in spite of eating healthy and walking 10k steps daily. People should do a podcast about this condition that so many women are facing today and also guide us properly.
