Brief Answer:
Cut short on calories

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

You may have to cut on your calories. Do not consume fast food in the night instead take raw vegetables or fruits. A low carbohydrate and low fat diet is essential to loose weight.

Do avoid coffee as it can increase your appetite. A spoon of sugar equals a small meal in calorie count.

You have to stop taking carbonated drinks as they are loaded with calories.

After all this you may have to work out for a minimum of 90 minutes a day to reduce weight by 6 months.

No,

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Any beverage with sugar is not good for night. Since there is less activity in the night the sugar may get converted to fatty acids.

Do place a request for a custom diet plan from your dashboard. Our Nutritionist would consult you taking some more details and provide you a detailed diet chart.
