"I'm no fitness expert. Just someone who lost 35 kgs, the hard way, but the real way. Here are 5 things that actually worked for me, no shortcuts, no fluff," Snigdha wrote in the caption. Let's take a look at her recommendations:
1. Exercise is important
"Go through multiple workout routines and you'll eventually find what works best for your body. I was on my seventh routine when I finally figured out what suits me and what doesn't. I stuck to that routine for at least 3–4 months before switching to a new one," says Snigdha.
2. Get disciplined with your meals
"Be a little strict with your food habits. You need to consistently stick to your breakfast, lunch, and dinner plan. Only then will you truly earn the right to reward yourself on Sundays," she adds.
3 Sleep early
Snigdha recommends sleeping early and avoiding late-night scrolling. "If you keep scrolling reels late into the night, your body won't rest, recover, or support your transformation. If you truly want to lose weight, sleep on time."
4. Click pictures often
"Click lots of pictures, daily, if you can. When you look back at them after 3–5 months, you'll feel so proud of how far you've come. You'll want to pat yourself on the back," she says.
5. Love yourself
"Unless and until you love yourself, you won't be able to stick to this difficult routine," she shares. Self-love, Snigdha believes, is the foundation of every successful transformation journey.
