Real-Life Weight Loss Journey of Rhitu Gupta
How much did you lose in how many days?
I lost approx 22 kgs in one and a half year
What was your motivation behind weight loss?
After undergoing a cesarean section and delivering my daughter in March 2016, I faced challenges as my weight continued to increase, accompanied by issues such as severe leg pain and lethargy. Recognising the need for a change, I decided to take action and joined DTF (a fitness and wellness class) just four and a half months after giving birth.
What was your weight loss diet (what drinks you had, did you eat fruits etc) and routine?
I followed the diet provided by my nutritionist, and it is so easy to follow that anyone could do it.
Did you completely cut down on sugar?
Yes, I reduced my sugar intake and began using jaggery, but only in small amounts. At present, I completely avoid buying or using sugar.
Did you have cheat meals? If yes, then how many times in a week? What is your go-to cheat meal?
Yeah, I do have cheat meals. My go-to foods are Chole Bhature and Kachori and I prefer North Indian cuisine.
What is one rule that you abide by for losing weight?
My rule is never to miss my workout. That one hour I dedicated to myself.
One challenge that you faced and how did you overcome it?
One challenge I faced was attending parties without indulging in the excessive eating habits I used to have. I began practising moderation in my food intake, cutting down on quantities and it truly worked for me.
Is there a weight loss myth that you got to know about during your journey?
People used to say that I would eventually get bored with these exercises and wouldn’t be able to follow the diet plan or lose more than 5-6 kgs. But, I was dedicated and committed to my weight loss goals.
