How to lose weight and get fit like this guy who lost 30 kgs to fulfil his New Year resolution – GQ India

If youve made a New Year resolution to lose weight and get fit this year, then 32-year-old Rohan G Gupta is the best person to turn to for advice as he aced his 2019 New Year fitness resolution.

Says Rohan, like many people, I decided to commence my fitness journey as a New Year resolution (last year) and managed to stay committed to this goal with the help of the below weight loss plan and ended up losing 30 kgs.

At my heaviest, I weighed 105 kgs, which was overweight for my height and body type. It started affecting me in several ways. Id always be low on energy and beyond a point even started feeling low on confidence. And, while these alone constituted as major reasons for me to get fit, I also realised that both my parents, who are in their 50s now, are suffering from health issues such as blood pressure, diabetes, asthma and arthritis and this scared me. I decided to change my lifestyle completely to help curb the early onsets of any possible ailments.

I started by making small changes in my diet such as eating home-cooked meals, quitting sugar, aerated drinks, junk and greasy food and also walking daily. From January to April, I walked everyday for one hour and did not join gym because I wanted to see whether or not I will be able to stay committed to my fat loss journey for a long time. There were days when I went for a walk at 2 am or even 3am, but did not miss a single day consistency is key!

Then finally in May, I joined the gym, and since then have been going to the gym 6 days/week and working out regularly. I started my workout routine with the Bro Split regime, targeting a single body part per day. However, after some time, I switched to the Push/Pull/Legs regime for better results and have been following the same regime since then.

When I started working out, I also started following a dedicated diet plan. A combination of the below diet and above workout routines helped me trim to 75 kgs in a years time.

Pre-workout: An omelette made from 3 eggs + a slice of cheese + 8 soaked almonds + 1 apple

Post-workout: Protein shake

Lunch: 1 Chapati and any home-made vegetarian dish

Evening snacks: 3 boiled egg whites or bhel

Dinner: 250 gms of chicken prepared in curd

Post-dinner: Protein shake

- Please get your basics clear: fat loss (losing inches) and gaining muscle is what you need to go after and not just weight loss.

- Eat light, eat protein, eat fibre and drink more water

- Do not rely only on the gym to stay fit, be active throughout the day. Walk more, take the stairs!
