Weight loss story: Black patches started developing on my skin because of my weight – Times of India

While a lot of people understand the importance of changing the lifestyle in order to get fit, not everyone has the strength to follow through. On the day 27-year-old Manadeep Ganguli released that he needed to lose all the extra kilos and get healthy, he decided to revamp his lifestyle.Instead of following a strict diet or a strenuous workout regime, he proved that making small but effective tweaks in your daily routine can help you get back in shape. Want to know the lifestyle habits that helped him lose a massive 33 kilos? Read on.Name: Manadeep GanguliOccupation: Consultant

Age: 27 years

Height: 5 feet 9 inches

City: Pune

Highest weight recorded: 110 kgs

Weight lost: 33 kgs

Duration it took me to lose weight: 10 months

The turning point: I was pretty lazy as I did not indulge in any physical activities and did not have any hobbies as well. To top it all, I was a hardcore foodie! As a result, I slowly became overweight and then sadly shifted to the obese category by the time I passed out of B-school.

While I did not care about my growing weight initially, I slowly saw that dark patches were developing around the side of my eyes, neck and wrists. I had read in certain articles that it could be a sign of very high cholesterol levels in the body. That served as a much-needed wakeup call as I could clearly see the impact of my growing weight on my skin. Since that day, I never looked backed and completely changed my unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits.

My breakfast: 1 plate poha and 1 cup green tea.

My lunch: Protein biscuits and 4 egg whites

My dinner: Boiled chicken 150 grams

Pre-workout meal: Mousambi juice (without sugar) 250 millilitres

Post-workout meal: Murmure or dry chiwda

I indulge in: I look forward to eating mutton biryani and my favourite ice cream

My workout: 10 kilometres of brisk walking every day and dumbbell curls (500 reps)

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: Onion uttapam, brown rice pulav and probiotic yoghurt.

Fitness secrets I unveiled: If you really want to lose weight, you have to understand that lifestyle change is the key to any transformation. So, whether it is eating on time or catching enough shut-eye, they all help in boosting your metabolism and subsequently, pave the way for a healthy weight loss.

How do I stay motivated? There is nothing more motivating than looking at my old photographs and comparing how far I have come.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus? The beauty of a changed lifestyle is that you really don't have to push yourself every day to stay focused. So, for me, the right diet, staying active and sleeping on time have all become a part of my daily routine.

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight? Without any speck of doubt, it is underconfidence It affects your mentality and as a result, you don't communicate well which impacts your professional life as well. When you are underconfident, you feel like a fish out of water at any social gathering and just wish to stay away from the crowd.
