Dr. Ahmed: Internist and Author at dibesity.com

Hello, I am Dr. Ahmed (MBBS; FCPS Medicine). I am a medical doctor. I have specialized in Internal Medicine and have been practicing for the past 15 years.

I was the only “Distinction Holder in Medicine” in my Medical School. Here is my ‘Certificate of Distinction”

I love practicing Medicine and helping people. At “dibesity.com“, I share my thoughts and experiences.

I treat a variety of patients but most have diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and complex health problems.

I have published two books so far on Amazon. Here is the link: My Amazon Books. These are meal plans written for diabetics and obese individuals.

Being honest with my patients is the key factor of why my patients and colleagues rank me “the best” and that is why I have got 5 Stars on Google Reviews from all my patients until now.

Prescribing medications is usually necessary but I ask my patients to avoid taking medications for simple problems.

A healthy lifestyle, eating healthy, regular exercise, and hiking can prevent you from visiting hospitals.

In addition, I have published three Amazon Kindle eBooks about meal plans for diabetics and those who are overweight and obese and gluten-free meal plans.

Here is a link to my Amazon Author Profile:

These are links to my Amazon ebooks:

• 7-Day Meal Plans for Weight Loss and Diabetes: Ozempic and Mounjaro Meal Plans
• One Week Meal Plans For Weight Loss and Diabetes: Ozempic and Mounjaro Meal Plans
• 7-Day Gluten-Free Meal Plan | 1000 – 2000 Kcal/day Meal Menus: Gluten-Free Meal Plans

I supervise post-graduate trainees and undergraduate medical students as well. I have a team of students who are keen on research and publications.

I supervise various ongoing projects including:

• The role of melatonin in migraine
• The epidemic of MASLD and NAFLD
• Rifaximin in functional dyspepsia.

On weekends, I go to my village and see poor patients. Medical practice is different there. Sometimes you have to pay the patient for treatment because of extreme poverty.

I rarely go to meetings arranged by pharmaceuticals. However, once in a while, I do attend medical conferences.

These conferences not only provide me with the opportunity to learn from other experts but also offer a platform to present research and experiences.

Dr. Ahmed Personal Info:

I have a beautiful family of five people. Me, my wife, and my three loving daughters.

My family is his greatest source of inspiration and support for me.

I love going outdoors and hiking. I usually wake up at 4 a.m. in summer and 5 am in winter.

This early morning ritual is accompanied by a serene morning walk, during which I gather my thoughts and prepare for the day ahead.

Writing serves as a means to process my experiences and share my perspectives with the world.

I love my work and blogging in particular. I am fascinated by the impact of my posts and articles, and I always monitor my analytics graph to gauge the reach and engagement of my content.

Despite all these accomplishments, I occasionally experience a hint of frustration. I find myself at odds with Google’s algorithms and ranking system, which is helping the big companies only.

However, this frustration only serves as fuel for my determination to continue producing high-quality content and striving for recognition.

Here is what Dr. Ahmed has to say about managing dibesity.com in his busy schedule:

“This is my daily routine while managing dibesity.com amidst a busy schedule:

I wake up early in the morning, and after my morning prayer, I head out for a walk and engage in some light physical activity.

I started this routine when I began my blog because I believe it’s important to practice what I preach. It wouldn’t be fair to encourage people to exercise and eat healthily if I’m not doing the same.

After my morning exercise, I make a cup of tea and dedicate about 30 to 60 minutes to working on my blog, which includes writing and managing various aspects.

Then, it’s off to the hospital, where I follow a demanding schedule from 8 AM to 2 PM.

My responsibilities vary throughout the week, from consulting patients in the outpatient department to conducting ward rounds and discussions with post-graduate residents, attending various hospital meetings, and teaching undergraduate students.

Once my hospital hours are over, I take a break for lunch and a short nap that typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes.

At 5 PM, I head to my private clinic, where I see patients until 9 PM. Many of these patients come to me for help with conditions such as diabetes, obesity, hypothyroidism, PCOS, hypertension, infections, migraines, depression, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and various other health-related issues.

After wrapping up at the clinic, I have a light dinner, recite my evening prayers, spend quality time with my family, and then go to bed, hoping that the next day will be even more rewarding and fulfilling”
