JAKARTA - Weight loss is often considered a difficult and challenging journey. However, with careful dedication, discipline, and planning, drastic changes can be achieved.

One example of inspirational is the story of an Indian man, Anaj Kumar, who is obese. The test successfully reduced his weight by 41 kg, from 114 kg to 73 kg a year.

Anaj realizes that health is the largest asset that must be maintained. Therefore, he decided to make significant lifestyle changes and was determined to carry out a sustainable and effective diet. The main focus is consuming food that is easy to obtain and friendly in the bag as the basis for the long-term weight loss plan.

Anaj's motivation comes from the desire to improve overall health, confidence, and self-esteem. He maintains his commitment by always recording progress, making adjustments when necessary, and maintaining discipline both in eating and exercising routines.

Reported by VOI from the Times of India page on Tuesday, February 4, Anaj runs a pattern of structured and rich in macronutrients and micronutrients, with an emphasis on the balance between protein, fat, carbohydrates, as well as vitamins and essential minerals.

-Protein: boiled eggs, chicken, paneer (fresh milk), broccoli, foammeal.

- Fat: Tain, walnuts, almonds, fish, pure ghee of cow's milk, curd (yogurt).

- Carbohydrate & Serat: Red rice, wheat bread, oatmeals, vegetables (wortel, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, broccoli), fruits (pisang, apples, oranges, watermelons, wines).

- Minerals: Zinc, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, calcium (contained from almonds, sweet sweet potatoes, dates, bananas, broccoli, egg yolks, tomatoes).

- Vitamin: Vitamin C (consumpted regularly) and Vitamin E (consumpted occasionally) to support muscle recovery and improve skin condition.

Drinks consumed:

- Warm water with lemon juice and honey or apple juice vinegar (for morning detox and increasing metabolism).

- Green tea (for antioxidant benefits).

- Black coffee (for increased metabolism and stamina).

- Whey protein (for muscle recovery and as an additional protein intake).

Anaj firmly follows this food plan for a full year and sometimes rotates on its diet to avoid stagnation in weight loss. He also occasionally enjoys small pizza every 15 days.

Sports

Because this morning was a difficult time for him, Anaj chose to exercise in the afternoon until the evening (19:00 p.m. 21.00 p.m.). The focus of the training includes weight training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

- Warming and Stretching: 10 minutes.

- Compaun's exercise: Deadlifts, bench press, squats with loads, push-ups, pull-ups, lungges, dips, shoulder press.

- HIIT: Running fast at a speed of 20 km/hour for 3040 seconds is surrounded by a break interval.

The division of exercises is based on muscle groups:

- Day 1: Back & Bisep (Deadlifts, Pull-ups) plus HIIT.

- Day 2: Dada, Bahu & Trisep (Bench Press, Dips, Push-ups) plus HIIT.

- Day 3: Feet (Squats with a load, Lungs, Leg Press) plus HIIT.

- Day 4: Rest, then cycle is repeated.

At the beginning of his trip, Anaj did body detoxification by consuming only boiled fruits and eggs for the first 15 days, which was equipped with cardio exercises and functional exercises.

Anuj's approach to diet and exercise not only results in physical transformation, but also brings positive changes in the mental and emotional aspects. Some of the changes he feels include increased self-confidence, increased self-esteem, more assertive posture, positive thinking, increasing self-love, and better skin health.
