MY OWN STORY IN MY OWN WORDS
Your aspirations can keep you going, proved this boy . His body weight became a reason for his rejection in a a dream course that pulled his confidence down but he was not ready to give up. He decided to fight back and managed to lose 38 kilos. Indeed, an inspiration for many, this young man tells his weight loss journey…
The turning point: When I was in 10th standard, my friends used to bully me. I became low on confidence and couldn’t concentrate on my studies. But my love for junk food never died and I kept on indulging. I somehow managed and passed 12th standard and I got selected for a hotel management course. When I went for an interview, after clearing 4 rounds, I got rejected in the fifth round. It was quite shocking that it was due to my weight they rejected me. I felt ashamed and inferiority complex pulled me down.
Following was the diet which I followed .
Initially, I started with a very low calorie deficit diet plan, I started eating six times a day to improve my metabolism. After a lot of research, and watching you tube videos I made my own diet plan which I started following it .
My Plan :
WAKE UP TIME 9 AM : 1 glass of lukewarm water with lemon juice.
After 1 hour : Fruits (Apple, pear, pineapple, papaya, orange or kiwi as these fruits have ample of vitamin C)
at 11 AM ( BREAKFAST): White oats cooked in water (with cut almonds, cashews, and apple), 5 to 6 scrambled egg whites. After that, time to go to gym for 1.5- 2 hours and once I am back, I used to eat 5 to 6 boiled egg whites (only 1 yolk with it).
Lunch: Boiled chicken with boiled broccoli, green beans spinach/boiled daal No Bread
After 4PM: I took sprouted lentils, beans, black channa with tofu added in it / 5 egg whites omelette without oil
Dinner: One bowl of salad (cucumber, boiled broccoli, carrots, tomato, lettuce, cabbage, beetroot and small bowl of boiled daal (yellow lentil, green lentils or tour daal)
I had not taken chapatti or rice as they have high carbs.
Also, I used to take green tea with a few lemon drops three times a day.
PLAN FOR GYM : Initially, I used to go to gym in the morning at 9 and for the first two months, I only did cross fits . There was no weight training. I just used to do treadmill and cross trainer and after those sessions, I had my trainer who trained me to do High Intensive Interval Training
Within 1.5 months, exercising and dieting helped me reduce 13 kilos. After 2 months of gym, I started doing weight training for shaping and toning my muscles with cardio and no cross fit.
I started to workout for 2 hours, 6 days a week (Sundays were my rest days).
I started reducing my weight week after week and got excellent results within 6.5 months, by losing 39 kilos in all.
Low-calorie recipes: I don’t use any oil in my diet. I don't eat fried foods. I had changed cheese to using tofu instead of fresh cheese, Avoided spices and had taken a little salt and black pepper only.
Fitness secrets : The role of diet in losing fat and gaining muscles is 70 per cent and only 30 per cent is about your Exercises of all kind.
How did I stay motivated: “I am the only competition to me " is what keeps me motivated. The thought that I have to improve every day, keeps me going.
