What is the simplest method for weight loss
“I myself have lost 40 kilograms, and the only method for weight loss is a calorie deficit,” Dr Sabharwal says. He recounts a recent interaction at the hospital, where a patient asked him for the basic principle behind effective weight loss.
“I told him that whether it’s increasing protein, doing resistance training, or going to the gym, the fundamental principle is very simple: calculate everything and count your calories,” he explains.
How to make weight loss a sustainable habit
Dr Sabharwal adds that the initial phase may feel challenging. “The first week will be tough, the second week will get easier, and by the third week, it will become a habit. In this game, there are two more variables, your willpower and consistency, which are the keys to success.”
With this straightforward yet disciplined approach, Dr Sabharwal emphasises that sustainable weight loss isn’t about quick fixes or complicated diets, it’s about understanding your calories, staying consistent, and having the determination to stick with it.
