Losing 108 kg in 18 months flat is no mean feat by Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani. Reminds one of singer Adnan Sami, who shed off his extra-plus fat. Just how did they do it?
Imagine losing a whopping 108 kgs in 18 months flat and then looking healthy and toned up! That’s what Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani remarkably achieved for his 21st birthday that was celebrated last month.
The social media was agog with his achievement and superstar Salman Khan tweeted, “So happy to see Anant Ambani, lots of respect and so happy for him. Takes a lot of will power to loose 108 kgs in 18 months”.
As per newspaper reports, his daily schedule included a 21 km walk which is equal to running half a marathon. This was followed by yoga, gymnasium where he did weight training and cardio exercises. Diet comprised low-carb and sugar-free.
Singer Adnan Sami too dramatically lost 127 kg weight in about six months, time.
In a magazine interview (http:// completewellbeing.com/article/if-i- can-do-it-anyone-can/), Sami had stated, ``It was a tough call for me. I was put on a no-sugar, no-rice, no-bread, no-oil diet; only high protein. They asked me questions like, “What do you do when you are sad, or happy.” My answer to both was: “I eat!” I associated food with every emotion. It was difficult then. I had no self-control. When I was depressed, I used to eat and then feel guilty, and again eat. It was a vicious cycle. It was difficult to get out of this. You lose confidence.’’
You could start it off like this, if you want to shed a modest amount of weight, as advocated by http:// www.nhs.uk:

Research shows eating breakfast helps you control your weight. Some people skip breakfast because they think it will help them lose weight, but missing meals doesn’t help us lose weight and is n’t good for us as we can miss out on essential nutrients. It could also encourage us to snack more throughout the day because you feel hungry. Check out five healthy breakfasts.
Some people think avoiding meals will help them lose weight, but it’s been shown eating regularly during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar. Find out more about eating healthily.
Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – three essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals.
Studies show regular activity is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing numerous health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you can’t cut through diet alone.
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need. You should aim to drink about six to eight glasses (1.2 litres) of fluid, preferably water, every day – or more if it’s warm or you’re exercising.
Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options, and keep a check on the amount of calories, fat, salt and sugars you eat. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan. Find out more about reading food labels.
Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you to feel full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and vegetables, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils.
Studies show people who use smaller plates tend to eat smaller portions and are still satisfied. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it’s full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.
To avoid temptation, avoid stocking junk food, such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks, at home. Instead, stock up on healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice.
Don’t ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more.
Did you know a standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate, and a pint of lager has about the same calorie count as a packet of crisps? Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain.
Plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance. Try to plan for four to seven days’ worth of meals and snacks. Make a shopping list, but don’t shop when you’re hungry as that can lead to high-calorie impulse buys!
