There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to losing weight. 32-year-old Ganesh, an engineer by professional decided to keep things simple and his weight loss journey is an example that you don't always need fad diets, extreme workouts or luck to lose weight.From mindful eating to working out every day, know how he ditched the flab and lost a whopping 20 kilos in six months. Read on!Name: Ganesh JagtapOccupation: Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

Age: 32

Height:170 cm

City: New Delhi

Highest weight recorded: 99 kilos

Weight lost: 20 kilos

Duration it took me to lose weight: 6 months (Sept 2019-Feb 2020)

The turning point: I had been following a healthy lifestyle before. However, after I shifted to Delhi, my lifestyle changed and the food I was eating was high on calories. I never realized it until I weighed myself on the scale. The harsh reality of seeing the number '99' was hurtful. Slowly, the weight gain got to me. I was constantly low on energy. This was when I decided that it was time to change and get back in shape.

My breakfast: For breakfast, I like to have either something like egg whites (3-4), poha, idli or oats.

My lunch: Something like a bowl of subji with 2 multigrain rotis and a serving of salad and curd. Sometimes, I have a light meal like a chicken salad.

My dinner: Similar to my lunch, but I try and skip out on curd at night. When I am out or have a cheat day, I eat everything (including the desserts) but moderate my quantity. That's my only secret. I don't refrain from eating anything.

Pre-workout meal: A big cup of black coffee

Post-workout meal: Water or some seasonal fruits

My workout: I like to work out for a minimum of 4-5 days a week at the gym. While cardio helps in burning fat, weight training has helped me tone up and target the core areas. This is one regime any weight watcher should try. I have also taken up yoga and try to do 2 sessions of yoga every week. I also like to walk a lot and try completing my 10K steps a day.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: I love eating grilled chicken salad and it is absolutely healthy.

Fitness secrets I unveiled: Change in lifestyle and hard work. If you want to see the change happen, you have to do it all by yourself. I changed my lifestyle, maintained discipline and worked hard to see the results I have in front of me today.

How do I stay motivated? My wife is a constant source of motivation for me. She inspires me to give my best shot every single day.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus? When I look back at my old photos, I realize how unhealthy I had been in the past. I keep pushing myself to never, ever get back to that shape again. What I have now is better than before.

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight? It is easy to gain weight but it becomes so difficult to carry around or do normal tasks. It became so tough to walk, run with such extra kilos. Climbing stairs felt like trekking on Mount Everest (not exaggerating!). Plus, you don't get good clothes for such size ranges.

What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? I would like to stay just as fit and motivated for not just the next ten years, but for my entire life ahead.
