“It was frustrating to try all the fad diets”
Nisha mentioned the “realistic sacrifices” she made as she shared photos of herself before and after the weight loss. In her caption, she wrote: “When I weighed 96kg I hated the way I looked. I knew it was time to focus on my health. It was frustrating trying all the fad diets and intense workouts with no results. I’ve been there, done that. But when I committed to losing 30 kg, I made real, sustainable changes—not extreme ones. And no, it wasn’t a crash diet!”
Say no to late night snacks, comfort food
She then listed everything she did for her dramatic weight loss, writing, “Here’s what I gave up to make it happen: 1. Late night snacks: Sounds simple, but getting enough sleep was a game changer. I started spinning off Netflix early to make sure my body could recover and burn fat efficiently. Even if I had a craving, I replaced it with a soothing tea to make up the difference.”
Nisha added the second thing she sacrificed: “Comfort food: I didn’t give up my favorite food, but I redefined comfort. Instead of sugary treats, I chose nutritious alternatives like fruit, nuts, dates and dark chocolate that fueled my body and wouldn’t upset my insulin levels.’
She also said: “3. Crash diets: I’ve tried quick fixes like fad diets, but I’ve always gained the weight back. Because these diets lead to muscle loss, fatigue and nutritional imbalances. Instead, I chose a balanced approach that nourishes my body and supports long-term fat loss without serious side effects.”
“Emotional and stress eating was a major problem”
Nisha also spoke about the power of saying no and avoiding “mindless eating,” writing, “4. Saying no more often: social gatherings were difficult. night pizza. But I realized that sometimes you can set your goals with health 5. Emotional and stress eating was a big problem and developed healthier coping mechanisms like journaling or going for a brisk walk. deal with stress.”
In conclusion, she wrote: “6. Consistent, less than perfect workouts: I didn’t work out 7 days a week, but I showed up consistently. Even on days I didn’t feel like it, I moved my body, whether it was a walk or yoga.”
