It does not matter what is to be blamed for the rapid weight gain, we can all agree that getting rid of those stubborn kilos can be taxing. When 29-year-old Manish Singh realised that his growing weight is preventing him from running the way he wanted to, he decided to do something about his growing weight. To know how he did it, read his inspiring weight loss story here.
Name: Manish Singh
Occupation: Software Engineer
Age: 29 years
Height:5 feet 7 inches
City: Mumbai
Highest weight recorded: 78 kgs
Weight lost: 10 kgs
Duration it took me to lose weight: 2 months
The turning point: While I had always wanted to achieve a lean and muscular physique, it was heartbreaking when I was no longer able to run a 200-metre sprint. I also felt bloated and exhausted all the time. My weight had taken a toll on my confidence levels as well.
My breakfast: 1 cup of green tea and poha or oatmeal after 30 minutes
My lunch: Boiled green vegetables or grilled chicken with brown rice
My dinner: Two chapatis with a bowl of dal and then a portion of green salad
Pre-workout meal: I have 1 cup of black coffee an hour prior to my workout
Post-workout meal: Whey protein shake
I indulge in: I usually try to eat protein-rich food items. These include dishes made from chicken and fish.
My workout: I usually work out for five days a week. I do 45 minutes of weight training and 10 minutes of HIIT.
Low-calorie recipes I swear by: I vouch on homemade tandoori chicken.
Fitness secrets I unveiled: I have realised that you should mix weight training with cardio to lose fat and build muscles rather just doing cardio.
How do I stay motivated? I always wanted to achieve my dream body and to look lean and muscular.
How do you ensure you don’t lose focus? I stayed right on the path of fitness and my weight loss journey by watching motivational videos of different bodybuilders. I know that the result cannot be achieved overnight and we have to give it ample time and stay dedicated.
What’s the most difficult part of being overweight? I use to feel bloated and under confident all the time. It was really difficult to deal with it.
What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? I have vowed to stay fit no matter what because in the end fitness is much more important than just looking fit.
What are the lifestyle changes you made? I made to a point to completely avoid refined sugar, refined flour and food from outside. I simply stick to homemade food.
What was the lowest point for you? I had definitely hit the rock bottom when I realised that my flexibility and endurance levels were too low to run even a 200-metre sprint.
Lessons learnt from weight loss: My weight loss journey has made me realise that you need to give enough time to your workout routine and diet to let them do their job.
