Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes, according to some studies it does reduce fat storage, increase fat burning, reduce appetite and improve blood sugar and insulin response. Because of its high acidity, drinking a lot of apple cider vinegar can damage your teeth, hurt your throat, and upset your stomach. So, it is not the right way to loose weight and it should not be used in more quatity for many days.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is often discussed as a natural aid for weight loss, but its effects are generally modest. Some small studies suggest that ACV might help reduce appetite or improve metabolism slightly, which could contribute to weight loss over time. However, it is not a magic solution.

Key points to consider:

  1. Limited evidence: Scientific support for ACV's weight loss benefits is limited and not strong enough to rely on it alone.
  2. Healthy lifestyle: Sustainable weight loss is best achieved through a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and healthy habits.
  3. Safety: Consuming ACV in small amounts is generally safe, but excessive intake can cause digestive discomfort or affect tooth enamel.

If you are considering using apple cider vinegar for weight loss, it’s a good idea to discuss it with a healthcare provider or a dietitian to ensure it fits well with your overall health plan and goals.

I'm an actor trying to get slimmer, and although I've lost inches, my weight hasn't changed. I'm doing workouts, but I feel like I need a proper diet chart to help me lose more inches. I'm currently at 63 kg and about 5'3" in height. Could you give some advice on how to lose more inches effectively?

To help you lose more inches and achieve your desired weight, it is important to focus on a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. Since you are already working out, let's concentrate on your diet. You can start by incorporating more lean proteins like chicken, fish, and tofu into your meals. Additionally, include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for fiber and essential nutrients. To aid in weight loss, consider reducing your intake of refined sugars and processed foods. It's also crucial to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. As an actor, it's essential to fuel your body with the right nutrients to support your active lifestyle and help you achieve your weight loss goals. In terms of medication, you can consider using "Orlistat" which helps in weight loss by decreasing the absorption of dietary fat in the body. The recommended dosage is 120 mg three times a day with meals. Remember, consistency is key, so stick to your diet plan and exercise regimen for optimal results.
