My Weight Loss Journey: 7 Kgs in 2 Months 🌿

I reduced my weight from 60.65 kg to 53.75 kg in 2 months, and the journey is still ongoing. This is not just about weight loss—it’s about healthy, sustainable fat loss.

What Most People Get Wrong

Focusing only on the weighing scale can be misleading.

Improper weight loss may cause:

• Muscle loss

• Water loss

• Nutrient deficiency

This can lead to:

fatigue, hair fall, dull skin, weakness, and low energy.

👉 The real goal is fat loss with muscle preservation.

My Personal Diet Approach

(What Actually Worked for Me)

There is a common myth that:

❌ “You cannot lose weight if you eat rice, seeds, or dry fruits.”

✔️ In my journey, I still achieved fat loss—with the right approach and timing.

Step 1: Reducing Inflammation

In the initial phase, I focused on:

• Vegetables

• Good hydration

• Simple, light, easily digestible foods

• Flax seeds

I also included healthy millet-based options:

• Jowar

• Bajra

• Ragi

• Quinoa

• Amaranth

• Kodo millet

• Foxtail millet etc

• Little millet

  
  

Along with this, I avoided:

• Sugar and sweets

• Maida (refined flour)

• Milk and milk products

• Gluten (wheat)

• Corn, maize, soya

• Pulses (temporarily reduced)

👉 Goal: Reduce inflammation and reset the body

Step 2: Gradual Reintroduction

This was the key to sustainability.

I slowly reintroduced foods:

• Started with milk products (paneer, curd/dahi) (not milk initially)

• Then added pulses, gluten (roti), and other foods

Now, after my weight loss :

• I take sweets occasionally

• I eat roti, dal, and balanced meals

• Somedays I eat outside or have cheat meals

• Free cheat meals everyday on trips

Because I understood what suits my body and in what quantity

Step 3: Listening to My Body

I regularly monitored:

• Weight

• Blood pressure

Body signals like:

• Bloating

• Heaviness

• Lethargy

• Uneasiness

• Sleepy feeling

• Weakness

👉 These signs helped me identify inflammatory triggers.

Step 4: Managing Calories & Balance

👉 If you consume more calories, you must balance it.

I managed this through:

• Exercise

• Intermittent fasting

• Staying active

• One day weekly fasting

Step 5: Weekly Fasting Practice

✔️ One fasting day per week

During fasting, I took:

• Water

• Black tea / black coffee / green tea

• Jeera water

• Fennel (saunf) water

• Ajwain water

• Methi water

• Coriander water

• Ceylon cinnamon water

👉 Helps in digestion, metabolism, and control over cravings.

Exercise During This Phase

❌️Avoid over-exercising during restricted diet

✔️ Focus on:

• Light to moderate workouts

• Strength + stretching

• Consistency

• Good sleep of 6 -8 hours

• Mental health - HAPPINESS & YOUR SWEET SMILE

Important Learnings

1. No food is permanently restricted

2. Millets and simple foods help in the initial phase

3. Identify your body’s inflammatory triggers

4. Sustainability matters more than speed

Final Message

❤️Today, I can enjoy foods which I once avoided—because I learned balance and awareness.

👉 Understand your body

👉 Observe your reactions

👉 Stay consistent

That is the real secret of sustainable weight loss.
