If youve vowed to yourself that 2020 is going to be the year you lose weight and commence your journey towards a fitter future then 21-year-old Naman Govind Varshneys inspiring weight loss journey and dos and don'ts will be of great help to you. He lost 18 kgs and trimmed from 83 kgs to 65 kgs.

Says Naman, there's this thing with the people who are overweight and they may or may not accept it but they just know that there's a parallel line (more like a problem) running in their life, which continuously bothers them in everything they do. It always subconsciously reminds them that they have to lose weight. But the people who are fit, don't get to experience this. They are free.

I wanted to get out of this vicious circle and live in a free world, where I don't have to constantly remind myself that Naman you need to lose weight, he adds. Thus, to be able to live in this free word Naman created the below weight loss plan.

I started working out in the gym, and followed a basic exercise routine. To give you a gist: I used to workout 6 days/week.

Each day my workout included 20 mins jogging on the treadmill with periodically increasing the speed from 8 at the starting to 15km/hr in the end. Notably, this didn't happen in one day!"

"I reached at this point after a couple of months. I used to push myself to the extremes. To give you an example: if at day 1, I ran at the speed of 11km/hr in the last 5 mins; on day 2, I used to give myself a target that I will run at the speed 12 km/hr in last 5 mins. I consistently set targets for myself in every exercise I did. It helped in building my stamina.

Jogging on the treadmill was followed by 15 mins of cycling and 20 mins on the Cross trainer. This cardio routine was followed by basic stretching exercise.

Interestingly, I only counted my calories as a part of my weight loss plan, I learnt what works best for my body and consequently eliminated these 12 foods from my diet.

"The one basic thing you can do before eating/putting anything in their mouth is just Google the amount of carbohydrates and protein it has. Because protein > carbohydrates. So when you are counting calories to create a calorie deficit and lose weight, ensure that you get it from protein and not carbs. The more protein you include in your diet, the faster you will lose weight. I was able to do the same by avoiding the above 12 foods.

A calorie deficit is a specific diet pattern that revolves around the number of calories you consume in a day. According to Healthline, the concept is based on the idea that as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn, youre bound to lose weight.

This diet pattern requires you to calculate the number of calories your body needs to consume to function smoothly without feeling hungry, and how much deficit you need create without harming your health. Keep in mind that the number of calories required to create a deficit is different for different body types. You can calculate yours online via a calorie calculator.

No magic pill or sauna belt can help you lose weight. It requires picking yourself up and doing rigorous exercises. Also, don't blindly follow health fads and diet trends, Find out what works best for you. All the best. If I can do it, you can too!
