Fat to fit and now fab

Anyone, who has lost weight, will tell you that losing weight in not difficult, but maintaining it is. The good thing, however, is that the trigger to lose those love-handles can come anytime, anywhere, like in the case of creative producer and director Siddharth P Malhotra, who lost 40 kg in four months. Siddharth was ecstatic. But before the producer could pack up the weighing scale and put it away, the nationwide lockdown was announced.

Shares Siddharth, “I realised this was my test. It is one thing to keep fit when you have all the facilities around you, and with no end to the lockdown, I had to find a way. I worked on a schedule as close to what I did previously. I knew it was not going to be easy but when you begin to value health and think of your family, it does not seem so difficult. On most days, I am able to walk 10,000 steps in the house. And because I am walking so much, I eat less and because of the walking, I get tired and I drink a lot of water, which keeps me hydrated. And I keep long fasting sessions.”
