How did I lose weight


Weight loss is often asked nowadays. So, I wanted to write down ideas mainly which I think could have worked on losing my weight from 78kgs to 67kgs. The idea of measuring my weight using the BMI Scale for more information like protein, etc to people around me is given as follows:

  • Food Habit: 
    • Food disciple and knowledge of food that works on the body are key for sustaining my food habit. I was logging my food in an App name HealthifyMe which helps me log all Indian food we make in-house and available in the market with food calorie count with its weight measure and proportion(like a bowl -small/medium/large). I got to know from youtube, food has a digestive time, for example, non-veg, milk products take more time to digest than fruits and raw vegetables. So, I started eating fast digestive food at night time. I usually finish eating my 6:30 to 7pm so that even this fast digestive + fewer carbs + more protein + more fiber food helps to digest food till I sleep. At night time I eat Fewer carbs because I don’t need much physical activity energy. At nighttime, I eat protein food like soya chunks, chunks, paneer because it helps to recovery @sleep.
    • Not sacrifice on sugar & salt. As for sugar, I replace white sugar with jaggery. For salt, I use rock salt instead of white salt. 
    • I become a student of food. Because we have too many options in the food market which makes me pick the right food and the right way to cook. For the sample, Make paneer @home and use paneer water in dal. 
    • I do eat proper food at breakfast/lunch and even in between also. Just I changed night food timing + dinner food. 
    • Somedays I cut the portion of food quantity

  • Physical Activity: 
    • I run daily with rest days
    • I use a less expensive Amazefit Bip watch for tracking my run 
    • I have a sitting work so, I make sure I get up for random activity like to drink water I stand and sit and then drink water,  stand when talking on the phone, etc

  • Meditation:
    • It helps me to calm my impulse decision for choosing food. 
    • It helps me to regulate my blood pressure 
    • Control Mind Chattering
    • Helps to maintain work+food discipline 
  • People Around me:
    • I do see sportspeople around me which sub-consciously help to feel that my shape is also becoming like them. I aspire to be like them this inner force keeps me motivated. 
    • Positive people give effective advice which is working from them 
    • People do give feedback which helps me to be motivated 
    • Smile and happiness around me help me to do a fast recovery.

Freshworks Chennai Full Marathon 2025: A Race That Rebuilt My Confidence

The Freshworks Chennai Full Marathon on January 5th, 2025, with bib number 42495, was more than just another race for me—it was a pivotal moment in my running journey, restoring my confidence after a tough outing in Kolkata and preparing me for my first 50km Tata Ultra. Bouncing Back from Kolkata Leading up to Chennai, my last major race was a 25km event in Kolkata. At the 20km mark, I developed a niggle that turned into pain, forcing me to walk most of the final stretch. That experience left me questioning whether I could hold up beyond 20km—an essential benchmark for marathon and ultra training. Arriving in Chennai: Simple, Focused Preparation I arrived in Chennai from Bangalore the day before the marathon, checked into my hotel, and collected my bib. I kept my pre-race routine simple: light food, early bedtime, and a kit packed with dates and electrolytes. The start line was just 1.5km from my stay, so I jogged over as a warm-up, feeling the early morning energy of the city. R...

Pacing the 2:20 Bus at Tuffman Half Marathon

Bib Number: 21248 Race Date: 2nd February 2025 Event: Tuffman Half Marathon Pacer Goal: 2 Hours 20 Minutes This was my first time officially pacing a race, and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be! To prepare for pacing the 2:20 bus, I did focused training. I ran two practice half marathons at an even 2:20 pace to internalize the rhythm and effort required. This wasn’t just physical prep—it was special because it trained me to run at a lower heart rate , a valuable skill that’s already helping with my main goal: finishing the Tata Ultra 50K strong. But this race wasn’t just about me. I encouraged three friends from my apartment to join as well—two signed up for the 5K and one bravely stepped into the half marathon distance. I even picked up their bibs and drove them to the race. It was such a unique experience to pull and push first-time runners toward the joy of running. Race Day At the start line, I stood alone with my pacer flag. But just before the gun went...

A Magical Weekend at Akshayakalpa Farm, Tiptur – A Journey into Organic Living

Just a three-hour drive and around 160 km from our home, tucked away in the peaceful green stretches of Tiptur, lies a gem of a place — Akshayakalpa Organic Farm . We had been planning a short weekend getaway, and this one-night, two-day trip turned out to be so much more than just a break from routine. It was an experience — wholesome, inspiring, and refreshing in every sense. Before the Visit: Thoughts & Expectations Before setting off, I had a few ideas in mind. I imagined fresh organic food, a serene countryside escape, and a chance to learn something new about sustainable farming. I expected to enjoy nature, perhaps interact with a few animals, and understand how organic dairy products are made. But what I got was far beyond expectations — it was immersive, educational, and joyful. From start to finish, it felt like a beautiful blend of eco-conscious living, learning, and community bonding. Day 1: Arrival & First Impressions We reached the farm around 10:45 am. Upon a...
