Where does fat go when you lose weight?

I'm 22 and thinking about trying Protinex. Do I need to talk to a doctor first? Also, will it actually help me gain body weight?

I'm working night shifts from 5:30 PM to 2:30 AM and I've been having some health issues because of it. I cant seem to maintain a healthy dieteither I'm trying to catch up on sleep or I just dont feel hungry at night. Because of the night shift, my routine's all over the place now. What do you think should be my ideal diet and routine? I'm noticing problems like hair fall, mood swings, and sometimes even weakness. Also, Im a pure vegetarian, so Id love some suggestions keeping that in mind. Looking forward to your advice!

Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep during the day. Use dark curtains and keep the room cool. Before shift: Have whole grains, protein (tofu, lentils), and fruitsvegetables. During shift: Opt for light snacks like yogurt, hummus, and stay hydrated with water or herbal tea. Post-shift: Eat a light meal with protein (vegetable soup, smoothie). Supplements: Consider Vitamin B12, iron, Vitamin D, omega-3s, and biotin for hair and mood support.
