Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Apple cider vinegar is good for weight loss. I suggest you take one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water after waking up daily once, but if you feel acidic, you may need to stop it. Few people are not comfortable with apple cider vinegar. I still need many details for proper medical intervention so that I can provide a customized diet plan.

Till then, I suggest you follow the tips:

1) Increase high protein diet include almonds six, walnuts per day, vegetables, paneer, soya, tofu, etc.

2) Include chia seeds and flax seeds.

3) Do follow the same workout regime, planks, etc.

4) Increase fluid intake.

5) Do rest, eight to nine hours of sleep.

6) Manage stress with meditation.

7) Do breathing exercises.

8) Manage to follow small frequent meals

9) Do take a 1700 kcal diet, carbohydrates 50%, protein 30%, fat 20%, and increase fiber intake up to 30% of your diet.

10) If required, need to add supplement (Whey protein).

I hope this was helpful.
