For Sumangal Agarwal, life hit a full stop when his weighing scale showed the century mark. It was only after seeing Virat Kohli's transformation, that Sumangal finally got the motivation to shed all that extra weight. Inspired by celebrities on television, Sumangal accepted the challenge in his own zeal. Read on to find out how Sumangal lost 27 kilos!
Name: Sumangal Agarwal Highest weight recorded: 102 kgs Weight lost: 27 kgs
The turning point: I was very unhappy with my body and appearance and always wanted to have a good physique like celebrities appearing on television. I started doing my research and read several interviews and fitness guidelines. The real motivation came to me when I heard about Virat Kohli's transformation after listening to his interviews.
Breakfast: Lukewarm lemon water after waking up Morning snacks: Black coffee without sugar Lunch: 50gm of Roasted chickpeas or Punjabi Chhole Evening snacks: Green tea with almonds and walnuts Dinner: Sprouts or sometimes slept hungry I had 1-2 cheat meals in a week, though I tried to avoid it as much as I could.
(TOI Health does not endorse crash dieting or vigorous dieting in any way. Individual results may vary. Please be cautious.) My workout: During the first two months, I was stuck to light cardio at home. But after losing 10-12 kilograms, I added weight training as well as high intensity cardio. I do exercises with dumbbells for around 90 minutes and have pretty much got my biceps and shoulders in good shape.
Fitness secrets I unveiled: Anybody can workout for 2 hours in the gym but to control what's in your plate for the remaining 22 hours makes a real champion.
How do I stay motivated? My real motivation is when people who body shamed me, come to me for suggestions.
How do you ensure you don't lose focus? Losing focus is also related to motivation. I never forget how I cried every night when I saw the needle (on the weighing scale) only moving upwards. I fear going back to that time again.
What's the most difficult part of being overweight? Gravity plays its role more on us. Right from getting up in the morning to doing push ups during a workout, it just keeps on getting tougher.
