Weight loss story: ‘My brother’s transformation inspired me to lose weight’ – Times of India

Losing the last few kilos is always a hard task. While 27-year-old Rajni was dedicated to getting fitter, she quickly realized that exercise alone won't get her the desired results. Putting in practice some diet secrets she learnt from her brother, Rajni was able to lose weight and transform for better. To know how she did it, read her story from fat to fit here:Name: Rajni PandeyOccupation: Employed with a private companyAge: 27 years

Height: 5 feet

Highest Weight Recorded: 64 kgs

Total Weight Loss: 7 kgs

Current Weight: 53 kgs

Duration it took me to lose weight: 2 months

The turning point: My fluctuating weight made it difficult for me to find the right clothes. Once I hit 64 kilos, I realized it was high time I do something about myself and that's when I decided to hit the gym. Initially, I was able to drop down to 58 kilos but then I hit a plateau. My weight stayed between 58-60 kilos for the next two years and I couldn't do anything. This was when I decided to seek guidance from my brother, who had successfully lost weight. I consulted him and he gave me more information about food planning, eating pattern, and the importance of vitamins and minerals.

My diet: I started off with 2 weeks of 3 meals a day and reduced it to 2 meals a day for 2 weeks. After 4 weeks, I followed 1 meal a day. I ditched carbs, sugar completely and followed a diet high fats, medium protein, and low carb diet. I also included important vitamins like - B, C, D, E, A, K, and minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium etc. in my diet through supplements.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: I would bake at home with the help of various YouTube videos. Peanut butter cookies, flour-less dark chocolate cakes etc. Amazing and healthy!

My workout: I work out early in the morning, six days a week- 3 days spent doing weight training and the other two days intensive cardio and one day dedicated to brisk walking or jogging. Sundays are my rest day.

Fitness secret I unveiled: Losing weight is more about what you eat and when you eat. Exercise alone can help you lose a little weight but once you start paying attention to your diet, the results look more promising.

How do I stay motivated? The number of compliments and comments I get from people post my transformation are enough to keep me working on my goals.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus? Through my weight loss journey, I realized one big thing-instead of eliminating, you have to concentrate on fine-tuning your lifestyle. I did not eliminate what all I liked eating. Instead, I started to look for healthier ingredients (trust me, they aren't so difficult to find) and this kept me interested and dedicated.

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight? Obesity makes you more prone to lethargy and low energy levels. Even though my weight was not too much, I would still feel a dip in my energy levels during the second half of the day.

What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? Now that I know what would keep me healthy and fit, I would love to follow the same lifestyle and food for longer.
