hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
If he has sore ankle, in that case it would be difficult for him to go for daily exercise. it would be better if he follows dietary control. He should avoid fat rich food and alcohol if he takes. Remember to lose one kg of fat, he has to burn 7000 kcal. In that case diet should be like to decrease weight gradually. U can consult a dietitian to get his dietary schedule.
