Fitness Routine

 Over the last 7–8 months, I’ve managed to shed nearly 8–9 kgs (10 Kgs as of today morning, weighing 65Kgs compared to 75Kgs in the past and the best I have been able to achieve was 72Kgs) —not through shortcuts, but by sticking to a simple, sustainable routine. Sharing in case it helps knowing well that each one’s body and dietary preferences are different. 

  1. No sugar or sugar-based products – This alone made a big difference. Occasional cake here and there does not do any harm (small piece)
  2. Morning routine – Fermented rice (kanji) with a mix of nuts, avocado, guava/papaya, and soaked green shoots.(Mung bean sprouts)
  3. Lunch – A balanced plate: salad, soup, 2 chapatis, and a vegetable dish. _ was having rice initially and felt heavy after lunch and changed to Chapati (it does feel my stomach is not 100% full, but it gives a good feeling as I know I have not overate)
  4. Fitness – 1 hour of daily gym (cardio + weights). The key is consistency, not intensity as I do all days including Sundays (would avoid only on instances of some niggles so as not to increase any pain)
  5. Dinner – Often skipped; if hungry, only fruits, and strictly before 7 pm.

No fad diets, just mindful eating and a steady routine. Feeling lighter, more energetic, and mentally sharper. And, Yes I have also been drinking berry water for detox i.e boiled water with Ajwain, Gooseberry, Pudina and Ginger daily as it helps in burning fat and dead cells in the body.

The key to this has been the consistency in which I could follow. My belly fat has vanished over a period of time, inflammation in the body has come down and I think the water content in the body has drained.

Initially when I lost weight I was not sure if I can maintain since in the past I was not able to sustain, but it has been a good 7-8 months now the routine has been the same and feel good.
