Amit Shah on his weight loss and lifestyle changes
Reflecting on his health journey, Shah said he had been diabetic earlier and decided to make significant changes to his daily routine. “I was diabetic earlier. I made a huge change in my life since May 2020 till today. I fixed my sleep, improved my water intake, diet, and regular exercise. That has given me a lot,” Shah said.
According to the minister, these changes helped him shed more than 20 kilograms over the years. He also spoke about the impact the lifestyle changes had on his dependence on medication. “I have achieved much in life. In the last 4.5 years, I have become free from all allopathic medicines,” he said.
His comments highlight the role he believes consistent lifestyle changes played in his health journey, rather than relying on quick-fix diets or temporary fitness routines.

For people looking to improve their well-being, the broader takeaway is to focus on sustainable habits rather than extreme diets or short-term solutions.
