I never tried keto or any fancy diet or went to the gym. I started having health issues at the age of 32. So, I wanted to get healthy and have a lifestyle.
Inspiration to Lose Weight: I didnt have any target this time to lose weight, thats how it kept me going for so long. I just took 1 day at a time rather than looking for the far future.
Weight Loss And Diet:
Pre-workout meal:I generally started doing only walking and initially I could do only 4-5 km with much difficulty daily but I still did it daily and now I can do 15 km walking/running in one go. So, I have black coffee or hot water before the workout.
Post-workout meal: I have some almonds and fruits after a workout
Weight Loss Mantra: No, not at all. consistency is the only thing to lose weight. Dont get influenced by others, your body is your own and you can just start taking small steps and changes in your lifestyle right now rather than saying lets do it from tomorrow.
Lifestyle Changes I made to lose weight:
Foods I Quit: In an Instagram post, G Nivedith said that he quit rice, sugar and oil initially to lose weight.
Weight Loss And Workout: Since it was locked down when I started last year in 2020, I have been doing almost 3-4 hours walk to cover 10-15 km walk/run every day for a year. Now, I am doing weight training in the gym to strengthen my body and tighten my loose skin.
What worked for me: Well, I lost 30 kgs of weight quickly in the three months since I started itself but then a plateau hit me and I had to change my diet and workout regime to ensure I continue to lose weight. So, the toughest thing was to maintain the body in the last eight months since I touched 69 kgs because now I am back to travelling and eating restaurant food most of the time.
