Weight loss does not begin in the gym or the moment you adjust yourself on the Yoga mat. The process begins in the kitchen. It begins by understanding the kind of relationship you want or rather need to develop with your food.

To say it as it is, if you continue gorging on nutrition-deficient food or empty calories of sugar, alcohol and the likes, you wont be able to move the scale by an inch even after hitting the gym, twice in one day. Both diet and working outbe it gymming, running or swimminghave to go hand-in-hand with each other.

In fact, 21-year-old Sifat Singh tells us that a person's diet is actually the key factor of any weight loss regime. To split it in terms of numbers, your diet contributes 80% to the process and only 20% can be attributed to working out, he says. And, he should know, he recently lost 61 kgs and trimmed from a whopping 145.7 kgs to 84 kgs by adopting the below healthy plan to lose weight.

Says Sifat, I was always judged for being overweight. This actually constituted to me having a very depressing school life. Everyone would judge me for my weight and overlook everything else about me. In fact, growing up, my biggest fear used to be getting my weight checked at the schools annual medical camp. Until, one day I just decided that I will not subject myself to the bullying or even live in fear. I also desired to cultivate a good social life around me. These two facts became my biggest motivations to lose weight.

I said to myself that I'm going to change my life, and started by making the below change in diet.

I completely stopped eating junk food," he says.

"My primary focus shifted from just mindlessly eating to eating clean all the time. It wasnt easy, I had a lot of cravings but I would happily satiate them by just having salads. All my meals were home-cooked and more importantlyhome-cooked by me. I basically knew what I was putting inside my body and for the first time it felt like I was in complete charge of my life when I commenced on this journey!

Early morning: 1tbsp of Apple cider vinegar mixed in a glass of water

Breakfast: 1 cup of Oats and 1 glass of Milk

Lunch: 1 serving of Poha

Evening Snacks: A cup of Tea along with just one Biscuit

Dinner: Half a Chicken or 250 grams of Fish

Post changing his daily dietary intake, Sifat started hitting the gym for extensive cardio and weight training sessions. Below is the exercise regime that he followed.

Sifats weight loss exercise regime included a 4 km sprint (6 days a week) and also an hour and half long gym session on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This was the routine he followed:

My workouts used to pretty intense and tiring, but day after day, week after week, month after month I saw myself changing. I would look at myself in the mirror and feel happy about it.

It is also important to note that I was able to lose so much weight as I was very consistent and didn't indulge in a single cheat day for almost 14 months till my weight dropped below 90 kgs. I skipped a lot of social functions and would never even eat outside while hanging out with my friends as well. My meals were always packed with me and it was this discipline that made me a completely new person.

"I have been able to maintain my current weight by:

1

Weight training

2

Minimal cardio

3

A rule of no second serving."

Just stay consistent with your weight loss regime. It will take time. Remind yourself that you didn't get fat in one day, so naturally you will not be able to lose all your fat in one day as well. Don't give up! Be patient. Also, don't fool yourself by thinking that if I eat more today then I'll just exercise more. It just does not happen. You can't outrun a bad diet. A burger is 300 calories and burning 300 calories is like cycling for 40 minutes. Watch what you eat!
