How Adnan Sami lost 120 kgs
When asked on the show if he had undergone any kind of surgery to lose weight, Adnan replied, "There has been a lot of speculation, some people said I went through bariatric surgery, others said liposuction. For those who don't know, liposuction is a procedure where fat is removed from specific areas with a needle, usually for spot reduction." He added humorously, “In my case, I weighed 230 kg, I would have needed a vacuum cleaner to remove all that fat!”
"Liposuction was absolutely not the case, nor was bariatric surgery," Adnan clarified. He explained that his weight loss came from following a strict high-protein diet prescribed by his nutritionist: "No bread, no rice, no sugar, no oil, no alcohol." By sticking to this plan, he gradually started shedding the kilos.

{{/usCountry}}Talking about what motivated him, Adnan shared, "At the beginning, I was very motivated because it's easier to lose weight initially since you shed a lot of water from your body. I lost 20 kg in the first month, which made me really happy. One day, I was at a shopping mall and saw a T-shirt in XL, I was 9XL at the time and I really liked it." He joked, "My mom told me that even my arm wouldn't fit in that T-shirt back then." That moment became a promise to himself that he would fit into that shirt one day.
"Whenever I felt like I had lost some weight, I would try on that shirt, sometimes two or three times a night to see if it fit. Then, one day, I wore it, and it fit perfectly. It was around 3 a.m. when I called my father, jumping with happiness," he recalled.
He also shared, "I realised I could now see my knuckles on my hands, which were hidden under fat before." Adnan summed it up, "This is how I lost weight, through a lot of hard work. There is no shortcut in life."
