Gupta tells us that at his heaviest, he weighed 100 kg and was prompted to get in the best shape of his life after he came back from a vacation and found everyone around him discussing their fitness plans and healthy lifestyle goals. I weigh 68 kg now. I lost 32 kg in 7 months by following the below weight loss plan and making simple changes in my daily life.

I was able to lose weight with a combination of both dieting and exercising."

My earlier diet was full of carbohydrates and sugar. I never exercised. But now, sugar (artificial) is out of my diet. I workout 6 days in the week and also weigh myself every single day in the morning just before I head to the shower.

Weighing myself every single day helped me understand what were the things that I was doing (and eating) correctly and what was not working for me. I held myself accountable if my weight on a given particular day was significantly higher than the previous day's weight - this helped me avoid eating out as well because I knew that if I ate out, the next morning I would see an increased number on the weighing scale. This self-accountability helped me a lot in my journey along with the below workout plan.

I began with gymming for 2.5-3 hours daily. This included 1 hour of walking. I began with slow walks on the treadmill, then slow running, then fast running. This finally led to - 20 minutes running + 40 minutes walk + 20 minutes cycling.

Post this, I did simple weight training and 50 squats, 50 toe-touch and 50 sit-ups. Apart from my cardio and weight training, I usually clock in 17-18000 steps on any given day. So that helps as well!

He also breaks down all the changes he made in his diet plan, below.

I began with avoiding artificial sugar. Tea/Coffee were to be consumed without sugar which was too hard in the beginning. Chocolates/pastries/cakes/ice creams/chips/biscuits/soft drinks were totally stopped. I increased the fruit and vegetable content in my food as well. This is what my diet comprised:

Breakfast: I began with having 1 banana, 4-5 blackberries and plain cold milk in the morning followed by coffee without sugar before lunch.

Lunch: One bowl of yogurt, salad, 2 chapatis and 1.5 cups of protein like dal/soybean vegetable.

Dinner: Salad or sandwich.

Self-accountability is crucial. Also, while having a cheat meal, the only person being cheated is YOU. A cheat meal can spoil the entire week's efforts. So try and avoid cheat meals as much as you can. Push yourself and you will reach your goal.
