Internet-friendly weight loss diet plans and frantically-worded weight loss tips are as sustainable as their real-time value on your Google news feed. Simply put: no fad diet plan can help you achieve your fitness goals beyond a point as they’re just not focussed on helping you make any holistic changes in your daily lifestyle. Much like the changes 25-year-old Mayank Satija tells us he made to lose 25kg in 6 months.

“What you eat is key! At my heaviest, I weighed 120kg, and was gradually able to lose the excess body weight and fat by cleaning up my diet. I cut out sugar completely. I also began following a very active workout routine.” Here’s his diet and workout plan:

Weight loos diet plan he followed to lose 25kg:

Early morning: A glass of hot lemon water

Breakfast: A bowl of oats or cereal

Midday: A cup of green tea

Lunch: A big bowl of sprouts, a bowl of dal, a homemade vegetable preparation, and a small bowl of poha or porridge

Evening: A cup of green tea

Dinner: A glass of juice with some salad

Workout plan he followed:

“I’d work out 6 days a week for upto 2 hours. The exercise routine:

Cardio: 30 minutes:

Cycling, jumping, stretching, running on the treadmill

Floor Exercises: 30 minutes

Mostly ab exercises

HIIT: 20 minutes

After his initial yet drastic weight loss, Mayank emphasises he stuck to his diet and workout regimes to retain his new body weight. Makes sense to us.

Any tips for someone who’s trying to lose weight?
