MADHU PATEL’S REAL LIFE WEIGHT LOSS STORY

What was your motivation behind weight loss?
I lost 10 kg in a year and 5 centimeters from my waist. I have undergone several surgeries in the past and faced many health complications, so my motivation was to build a healthy life and be more active for my family.

What was your weight loss diet (what drinks did you have, did you eat fruit, etc.) and what was your routine?

My weight-loss diet is mainly focused on balance and portions. It contains green tea, 6-8 glasses of water and fruits, mainly bananas and papayas. I also drink 1 glass of warm water every morning, followed by soaked almonds, raisins and a banana, and then I leave for my functional training. I follow the diet of my nutritionist, Sonia Bakshi. It works for me!

Have you quit sugar completely?

No, I don’t have a sweet tooth. So no sugar!

Have you had any cheat meals? If so, how many times per week? What’s your go-to cheat meal?

Yes, I have cheat meals once a week and my favorite cheat meals are dosa and biryani.

What was one thing that worked best for you?

I ate fewer high-calorie foods. I have everything in moderation, and somehow it worked for me. I also now practice eating at 6 p.m. at the earliest.

One challenge you faced and how did you overcome it?

The biggest challenge I faced was when I resumed my classes after my surgery, and I overcame it by taking it one step at a time. My trainer Sonia Bakshi kept me motivated throughout.

Is there a weight loss myth you’ve learned along your journey?

The myth is that people think it is impossible to lose weight after a hysterectomy due to hormonal imbalances, but I have found this to be untrue for myself.
