Were a month into 2020 already and if youre looking for fitness inspiration to help you get started on your weight loss journey, then youve landed on the right page. Meet 34-year-old Karan Ahuja, who lost 22 kg in 6 months by following a diverse yet simple workout routine and resorting to a sustainable diet plan, comprising balanced meals.

He tells us that throughout his school and college days, he had been an athlete and would also actively participate in many different kinds of physically enduring sports such as cricket, swimming and table tennis. But after becoming a part of a sedentary lifestyle, courtesy of a corporate job, he began putting on a lot of weight. The long working hours, irregular food habits and weekend parties, started taking a toll on my health, he said.

I would get tired after climbing a few stairs. This led to a sense of dissatisfaction within me and also sparked the motivation to change my lifestyle to lose weight and get fit, he adds. And as a part of my weight loss plan, I took the below steps to bring about the said change.

1. "I prepared myself mentally by giving myself a goal. I had set a goal to drop down below 70 kg and would not stop until I achieved this number."

2. "I consulted a dietitian who guided me throughout my journey and helped me eat local produce. But more on this later."

3. I also started running marathons and set my goal to finish at least 10 kilometres in the beginning but after a while, running became an addiction. In fact, I recently ran and completed my first half marathon (21 kilometres). Running gave me a proper direction and also the motivation to achieve my targets. Once I started running, I started following a running + gym workout routine.

Now, coming back to my second point, I believe in eating a balanced diet as well as eating according to the region you live in. So this is what I ate to keep me nourished during this transformative journey:

Pre-workout (6:00 am): A cup of black coffee

Breakfast (Post-workout) (8:30 am): A bowl of cereal with milk + 1 fruit (seasonal fruits)

Mid-morning snack (11:00 am): 1 cup of green tea + nuts (peanuts/almonds/walnut)

Lunch (1:00 pm): 2 chapatis + 1 bowl of vegetables + 1 bowl of dal

Evening snacks (4:00 pm): A cup of black coffee + bhel

Dinner (7:30 pm): A mix of veggies + dosa/chapati + grilled fish (occasionally)

Follow the 21/90 rule. It takes 21 days to form a habit, so keep working out and eat healthy for 21 days and before you know it, it will become a habit and if you are able to do it for 90 daysit will become a lifestyle.
