Akansha Lal, a 34-year-old teacher from Greater Noida, successfully shed 32 kg over eight months, going from 89 kg to a fit 57 kg. Her journey from post-pregnancy weight gain to a healthier lifestyle is inspiring, filled with discipline, determination, and key lifestyle changes. The turning point Akansha's love for fashion was the trigger for her weight loss journey.
She recalls the frustration of not finding dresses in her size and the gradual weight gain post-pregnancy. “One day I woke up and decided enough is enough,” she says. This was when she cut out all junk food and began running daily, starting her transformation.
Diet and meal plan Akansha made significant changes in her eating habits, completely eliminating unhealthy food. Here's her daily meal plan Upon waking up: lukewarm water with honey and lemon or chia seeds soaked in water with honey Breakfast: 2 egg whites with a glass of milk, or oats with dry fruits and honey, or vegetable poha with one multivitamin Mid-day snack: 1 glass of vegetable juice Lunch: Any homemade vegetable sabji with one roti or dal and rice or peanut butter with one roti Dinner: Homemade sabji with paneer and 1.5 roti, or chicken with 1.
5 roti, or a chickpea salad with paneer Pre-workout meal: Coffee (her favorite!) Post-workout meal: Dinner after the workout On cheat days, Akansha indulges in burgers, but her go-to low-calorie recipe is vegetable poha, which she swears by. Workout routine Akansha's fitness regimen is varied and intense.
