It seems like you’re already making efforts with exercise and diet, which is a solid starting point. However, with weight gain persisting and a fatty liver condition along with a slightly elevated HbA1c, there are a few areas to consider. First, diet specifics may need adjustment beyond your current vegetarian intake. You might review your overall caloric intake, ensuring you’re in a calorie deficit. Even healthy foods can contribute to high calorie intake if portion sizes are large or if there’s frequent snacking. Including more fiber-rich foods like whole grains, legumes, and vegetables can help with satiety and weight control. Since protein intake is important, make sure plant-based protein sources are adequately represented in your meals. Minimizing processed foods and sugars is also key, particularly given your HbA1c, which indicates prediabetes. Regular monitoring of your blood sugar can be helpful. A well-structured exercise routine that combines cardio with resistance training is ideal. In terms of managing your fatty liver, reducing saturated fats found in oils, ghee, and dairy might help, focusing instead on healthier fats like those found in nuts and seeds, though keep them limited due to their calorie density. Regular moderate-intensity exercise is beneficial for both weight and liver health. Address stress, and ensure proper sleep as both affect weight. Finally, if after implementing these changes weight loss isn’t observed, it could be beneficial to work with a dietitian experienced in vegetarian diets. They can tailor a plan specific to your needs. Always remember to discuss with your healthcare provider before making significant changes, especially given your preexisting conditions.
