Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are many causes for weight loss. Some medical conditions and bad body metabolism are common causes. Loss of appetite is one of the primary causes of emaciation. I suggest you try doing the following.

Take Ashwagandha and Shatavari powder, 0.11 oz twice daily with milk. Try doing Kapalbhati twice a day. Avoid spicy and oily junk foods. Avoid smoking and drinking habits if you have them. To improve your body weight eat a protein and carbohydrate-rich diet. Eat at least three bananas with milk and do light exercises also. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and start taking the medicines after their consent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
