Inflammation is recognized as a key factor that can lead to weight gain. In an interview with Galatta India last year, Vidya Balan shared her struggles with gaining weight, even while following a diet and exercise plan aimed at losing weight. Nutritionist Shalini Sudhakar highlighted the significance of tackling inflammation for quicker weight loss on her Instagram. She mentioned, “You can effectively manage inflammation by identifying its triggers and making lifestyle changes.”

Shalini also emphasized the necessity of getting a blood test to measure C-reactive protein, which is essential for understanding inflammation levels in the body. C-reactive protein is a blood protein that indicates the presence of inflammation.

Shalini also offered some tips on how to handle inflammation to help speed up weight loss.

Keep a daily record of every meal and snack:

Keep track of everything you consume, including drinks, and make sure to note the time you have them. Be detailed about the portion sizes and the ingredients you use.

For your meals, try to break down each part of what you eat (like in a sandwich: bread, lettuce, tomato, etc.) to identify any possible triggers.

Keep an eye on your symptoms:

Different types of symptoms: Look for signs that could indicate inflammation, such as bloating, joint discomfort, headaches, skin problems, or tiredness.

Intensity and timing: Evaluate your symptoms on a scale from 1 to 10 and keep track of when they happen in relation to your meals, since certain foods might trigger delayed responses.

Spotlight on foods that trigger inflammation:

Identify the foods that are triggering symptoms like bloating, digestive problems, and tiredness.

Keep a record of your eating habits for a month:

Keep track of your food intake for a month, and you'll quickly spot which items are leading to inflammation.

"Steer clear of any foods that seem to cause problems and pay attention to how your body reacts. Gradually reintroduce these foods in smaller amounts, or consider consulting a nutritionist for a deeper understanding of your condition and a long-term solution," the nutritionist suggested.
