An amazing 62-kg weight loss story! He did it in just 10 months!

Day 3 - Back workout followed by cardio (30 to 45 minutes)

Day 4 - Only cardio (30 to 45 minutes)

Day 5 - Chest workout followed by cardio

Day 6 - Rest

Day 7 - Rest

I believe that smart workouts are more effective than slogging aimlessly in the gym. Rest is equally important as exercise. Overtraining will not give you results, in fact, it can result in muscle-loss or weakness.

Both cardio and weight training are important when it comes to fat-loss or improvement in body composition.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: I am not a believer of calories and I have always stayed away from counting calories. I feel that a person should eat fats and proteins irrespective of the calorie consumption. Because reduction of calories from meals means eating less, you may feel starved and might end up munching on rubbish when the motivation falls.

I lost 62 kgs by eating healthy fats and proteins coming from 1st class sources. But one thing that I always stay away from is - sugars and other starchy grains.

Fitness secrets I unveiled: There are no secrets.... It's pure science. People feel that fitness and fat-loss are the most difficult things to achieve. They end up following rubbish advices. Even I was one of them and had done everything possible on the planet to lose weight. But only now, after studying the above-mentioned sciences did I realise that I had followed wrong advises and therefore I was always struggling with weight issues.

How do I stay motivated? And how do you ensure you don't lose focus?Results motivate you more than anything. I feel that humans are very greedy. We will only put efforts when there is a reward. Even when I was 142 kgs, I wanted to lose weight quickly and wanted to get in shape as fast as possible. I was not okay with losing 1 or 2 kgs per month. I was definitely not interested to stretch my fat-loss journey for years. I wanted results "now".

And when I started seeing drastic changes and results, I was self-motivated and didn't miss junk food.

If my results would have been any slower, I would surely be discouraged and would have fallen off the wagon.

What's the most difficult part of being overweight? Everything about being overweight is bad. Overweight is a curse that people live with. Most people are blamed for their eating habits for being overweight. Most of the overweight people don't eat that bad. In fact, it's the thin people who have worst eating habits compared to fat individuals.

It's not about the calories, but from where you get these calories that counts.

What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? With every passing year, my fitness goals have been changing. When I started, my dream was to live like a normal person and my dream was to tie my own shoelaces (which wasn't possible then because of my 52-inch waist).

Now my goal is to improve on all the aspects of fitness. My goal is to improve and challenge my cardiovascular endurance and increase my strength. I am currently working on reducing my fat per cent even lower and gaining lean body mass. I soon see myself having a 6-pack.

What are the lifestyle changes you made? Being a nutritionist and a fitness expert, I would suggest everyone make a few simple changes...

Stop eating sugars and starches

Exercise 3 to 4 days a week (and not to neglect strength training)

Rest well

Stay happy

Do not confuse dehydration with hunger.

Do not consume packed foods which sometimes are also labelled as 'healthy'.

Along with the above tips, I stay away from all the false advice on health.

Lessons learnt from weight losses: After losing 62kgs within a year, I learnt that everything is possible. It's all about how badly you want to succeed. I regained my health and confidence back. I no longer have any medical issues. I don't get fatigued and can even work better. My attitude towards life has changed. Now I am not just a fit and motivated individual but now I can help others to achieve their dreams.
