Malnutrition is associated with under-developed and developing countries while obesity is often associated with affluence in developed countries. Is India’s transformation from developing to developed complete? We are on the way but obesity is a real problem. Keep tuned for more.

2016 - Weight 120kg; Severe uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1C - 12.7), severe hypertension, stress, sedentary life style, voracious eating mainly junk, little sleep … everything not considered healthy! #obesity #lifestylewellbeing

I found it difficult to find clothes of my size (waist 48”) 10 years ago and even now it remains a challenge (waist 28”). It was a terrible problem to have in the past but now it is a good one ! #obesity #lifestyle

I started my weight loss (life style change) life style journey in 2016 at a weight of 120kg but started recording my weight since 2017. This is how my journey has been. #obesity #lifestyle

I was obese and had multiple issues due to obesity for decades. I started the wellness journey many times, but soon stopped as I thought it was impossible to get into shape. I am putting up all these posts just to share my learning - “it is possible”. #obesity #lifestyle

BEYOND WEIGHT In 2016 my weight was 120kgs and HbA1C was 12.7 despite high medication. As I lost weight diabetes control was better. Last 3 years I have been off medications and my HbA1C has been stable at 5. Life style and optimal weight can reverse diabetes! #obesity #diabetes

While diabetes could be controlled/reversed, complications of diabetes particularly in the vital organs cannot be reversed once they set in.I developed neuropathy and despite getting rid of diabetes,neuropathy persists. Prevent the complications with strict control of diabetes.

BEYOND WEIGHT 2016 : Weight 120kgs; severe uncontrolled blood pressure despite high medication Since 2021 : Weight reduced significantly; normal blood pressure, no medications Obesity is a proven cause of hypertension! #obesity #lifestyle #hypertension

Shared my Lifestyle journey and the benefits I derived in the last few posts. Will share the lifestyle changes which helped me in the next few posts. #Lifestyle #obesity

IDENTITY CRISIS Renewal of passport, driving license etc, airports, registration office, hotels … Wherever my ID has to be verified, I had to prove that it is me and not a different person. 🤔

WELLNESS - STEP 1 I promised myself that I would embark on the wellness journey and work on all modifiable factors that could impact my health.I knew it was not going to be easy as I started and stopped multiple times.However I told myself it was now or never! #wellness #obesity

WELLNESS- STEP 2 I had a complete healthcheck to get my baseline health status, to understand how much to focus on which element of wellness and what to avoid.I preserved these reports and when I need motivation I compare these baseline reports with the current reports. #wellness

WELLNESS-STEP 3 I decided to give up on rice, wheat, maida, sugar, cream, tobacco, late night outings, junk food, sweets, icecreams … everything I binged on for decades. I have not touched them ever since. #wellness #obesity #diabetes

WELLNESS-STEP 4 Ever since I started my wellness journey I have been exercising for a minimum of 90mins/day. I spend equal time on cardio and muscle strengthening. #wellness #obesity #diabetes

WELLNESS-STEP 5 The next major change I made in my life style is diet.Breakfast,lunch and early dinner (high protein,low carb & balanced diet)including boiled vegetables,egg,lean meat,fruits,berries,nuts & fat-free yogurt. The total food I consume in a day is shown in the film.

WELLNESS-STEP 6 8 hours of sleep, yoga & meditation help me in maintaining mental health and physical rejenuation. Mental health and staying fresh & energized are important ingredients of wholesome wellness.#wellness #lifestyle #obesity #diabetes

Wondering why I posted the wellness series?My journey was difficult and I myself thought it was impossible.I wanted to share my experience that it is possible.Even if 1 of person gets motivated and benefits from my experience, it is worth all the effort!#wellness #lifestyle
