If you've ever wanted to lose excess fat with minimal effort, here's some good news there's a simple secret that can make your journey a lot easier.
Mukul Nagpaul, health coach and founder of Pmftraining shared with HT Lifestyle, "After Coaching thousands of people to lose fat, I observed that everyone is not losing fat in a similar manner, and I saw so many people losing hope as they were putting more effort than others but didn't lose as much as the other were so I dug deep and found that we were covering just the upper layer of the onion and realised that the real answer lied at the core of the onion for which we had to remove more layers of the onion".

What you need to focus on to lose fat
He added, “For a long time, you have lied that to lose fat you need to just exercise and eat well but what if I tell you that's just a half truth as it will help you lose fat but it's going to be a minimal amount compared to the effort you put in for losing that fat. So to make your efforts worthwhile, you need to understand your hormones and genetics.”
Here's what he said you need to focus on to lose fat effectively:
- Exercise
- Nutrition
- Social environment
- Home and office environment
- Mindset and how your mind works
- Understanding your inborn talents (your genius)
"Now we need to use Pareto's principle of 80/20, where we focus on 20% of the things that are going to give you 80% of the results. So, in the fat loss case, it's about prioritising two things out of the six mentioned above," says Mukul. He further explains that overall, people can be divided into six categories and you need to figure out which category you fall into.
