Health experts, however, continue to stress that long-term success depends on simple, sustainable habits rather than drastic measures. Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has shared three simple rules for anyone trying to lose weight, stressing that long-term health should take priority over quick results.

In a recent Instagram post, she said sustainable weight loss is built on patience, balanced eating and staying away from social media diet fads.

She recommended aiming to lose 5-10 per cent of body weight in a year, adding that if more weight needs to be lost, it is better to take additional time instead of rushing the process. 

She explained that gradual weight loss can help lower the risk of conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis and certain cancers. It also helps preserve muscle strength, immunity, bone health, healthy skin and hair while reducing the chances of frequent infections and other health problems.
