How Dr. Darshan Lost 40 kgs in 8 Months



 Name: Dr. Darshan




Gender: Male




Age: 29




Profession: Gynaecologist




Before HealthifyMe




I was always overweight, even while growing up. I was focused on my studies and academics, neglecting sports and physical activity. I weighed 112 kgs by the age of 24. The highest weight recorded was 117 at 29 years! Being a doctor, I always knew the health consequences but never had the push to start a weight loss journey.




The turning point




I had a very stressful and busy lifestyle with absolutely no focus on fitness and nutrition.




One of my colleagues introduced me to HealthifyMe 2 years ago, but I didn’t take it seriously. Later in February 2020, I learned more about the app from YouTube & social media which helped me decide to sign up on the HealthifyMe app.




Coaches at HealthifyMe




My official fitness coach was Rahul Bhandari, and he has helped me immensely with understanding my body type. He provided me with the exact workout schedule I needed, guided me regularly, and monitored my progress. And I can’t forget Zayed, who was my motivation and support throughout the weight loss journey.




Weight loss transformation journey




Transformation – total weight loss was 40 kgs, waist size reduction of 9 inches (from 40 to 31 inches), and visceral fat reduction of 23 percent. There was also improvement in stamina and flexibility with increased activity and enthusiasm!




Tips/Things that worked well throughout the transformation journey




Specific things that helped me was:




Calorie deficient but nutritionally complete diet




Adequate protein intake




Low-carbohydrate diet




High fiber intake




Consistent work out with variations




Favorite features on the HealthifyMe app




My favorite features are the calorie tracker and macronutrient insights. Also, the extensive database with accurate information customized to all regions with recipes. The voice-guided workout schedule is pretty good too!




The most significant change in lifestyle after Joining HealthifyMe




The most significant change after joining HealthifyMe was tracking every meal and adjusting macros as per requirement, also logging weight consistently and analyzing the track.




Breaking down barriers




I never felt like giving up because of the excellent support I had from HealthifyMe and the expected results I got.




Reactions from friends and family after the transformation




My friends and family are thrilled with my transformation. In fact, I have become a celebrity and influence many by my results!




How do I feel now – after achieving my goal?




After this achievement, I feel really good about myself, because I have won over my weakness and insecurities.




I am happy to lead a healthy lifestyle now and inspire people to achieve their fitness goals.




I think that dedication and consistency can help to achieve anything!

The humble Indian gooseberry, commonly known as amla, truly deserves its superfood status. The translucent green fruit, which derives its name from the Sanskrit word ‘Amlaki’ meaning “nectar of life”, can protect us against countless ailments, be it the common cold, cancer, or infertility.

What are the Iron Rich Drinks to Boost Your Hemoglobin?

 Pomegranates, also known as Anaar, are famous for their ruby-red tiny edible arils (seeds) and sweet-tart flavour. The fruit’s natural juice and seeds are rich in nutrients that offer multiple benefits. From controlling blood sugar levels to improving memory, pomegranates are a wonder fruit that can be an excellent addition to your diet. Pomegranate juice has a higher concentration of antioxidants, specifically polyphenols, than other fruit juices. It has approximately three times as many antioxidants as green tea or red wine. Because of this, pomegranate juice has the potential to lower low-density lipoprotein, or bad cholesterol, and help safeguard the heart.

Disenchanted (2022) Review

 DON’T LOOK DOWN! (AND DON’T WATCH THIS MOVIE) Survival movies have been around for quite some time and have had mixed results with viewers. Tales of death-defying moments of surviving the unbridled wrath of natural elements, surreal circumstances, and unlucky situations have always been fixed point of fascination with storytelling, leading to one suspense after another and finding thrills within those “fight for flight” moments. Yet, sometimes these films struggle to find a proper balance within its own context, with an unbalanced presentation of trying to focus more on the actual survival sequences (scares, suspense, and thrills) and not much on its characters and story progression. Sometimes narrative can be well-founded within true life events (i.e., based on a true story), while other times some survival accounts were created from fiction. Such prime examples of lates includes 2015’s The Martian, 2015’s Everest, 2016’s The Revenant, 2017’s 47 Meters Down, 2018’s Adrift, 2019’s...
