While the gyms a great place to break a good sweat and even torch fat to lose weight it doesnt have to be your preferred choice. It certainly wasnt 35-year-old Arun Kumars, who lost 12 kgs in 4 months without ever stepping inside a gym.

Says Arun, up until a couple of years ago, I was not bothered about getting fit at all. I was a big foodie and also a lazy couch potato. Id eat what I want and when I wanted to eat it. This what mainly comprised a lot of sweets, junk food and soft drinks. I knew my weight was going up pretty rapidly and my body was also kind of getting out of shape but as I said, I was not bothered.

Over time, I realised that I was becoming the laughing stock amongst my friends owing to my weight and tummy. Id counter their jokes and remarks but theyd still make me feel bad. At the same time, I still couldn't control my eating habits to bring about a change. My favourite clothes stopped fitting me as well but my love for biryani remained endless, he adds. My wake-up call arrived shortly after returning from a vacation with my friends. I realised how fat and chubby I was looking in the pictures we'd taken during the trip. I used to be skinny during my college days, and comparing that to this my body and face being complemented with layers of fat was really disappointing.

It made me comprehend the reality of where my life was going and also made me set on losing weight to take control over my body. Consequently, I trimmed from 90 kgs to 78 kgs by following the below weight loss plan.

My weight loss plan was only made up of two things and none of these two things involved going to the gym and lifting weights.

I followed these 2 practises to lose weight:

1

Say no to sugar: The most important thing that I did was say a big fat no to sugar in every form. No sweets, no soft drinks, no ice creams and no chocolates. Initially, it was difficult to stay away from sugar, but within a week my cravings for sugar reduced.

Other than these two practices, I didn't follow any other workout routines or even supplements. But I was conscious about what I was eating. The below diet plan will give you a better perspective on the same:

I started avoided junk food and eating mostly home-cooked food such as rice, wheat rotis and veggies. And, whenever possible, Id eat carb-free foods such as egg whites and chicken.

Early morning: A glass of warm water

Breakfast: Two dosas or three idlis

Lunch: Three chapatis or a bowl of boiled rice with some veg curry and two egg whites

Evening snacks: A bowl of fruit salad

Dinner: Two omelettes and a banana or an apple

Post-dinner: A glass of warm water

I rarely craved any junk food during this phase but if I did crave something a lot, I didnt stop myself from eating it. I also ate biryani, once a week, I considered it as a reward to myself for all the effort I am putting in!

At the end of 4 months, the result really made me feel very good about myself. But I started feeling like I am looking weak, and decided that nows the right time to hit the gym to build some muscles and develop stamina. So, now I maintain my weight by going to the gym regularly and taking more protein in my food in the form of egg whites and chicken.
