I'm hoping to drop 10 kgs but I'm not too keen on following a strict diet. I've heard that drinking warm water and skipping might help with weight loss. Is that really effective or could it have any negative effects on my health? I'd like to know how well these methods work.

I'm really struggling with a strong craving to eat raw rice, and I find myself doing it a lot. I've noticed that I've put on weight because of this, and I really want to stop. Could this be happening because I'm lacking something in my diet? What can I do to overcome this craving?

Eating raw rice excessively, a condition known as pica, can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. To address this issue, you can start taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating iron-rich foods in your diet like spinach, red meat, and fortified cereals can help. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
