Delhi gastroenterologist shares three-year journey from 110 to 74 kilos
Dr Shubham Vatsya was a doctor who weighed 110 kilograms when he was 34.
He said he often advised patients about healthy living while struggling with his own habits.
A patient’s honest question made him realize he needed to change.
He also wanted to stay healthier for his young daughter.
Over three years, he gradually reduced his weight to 74 kilograms.
He said he did this through discipline and small, repeated choices.
An expert said slow weight loss can be easier to keep than very fast weight loss.
The expert recommended balanced meals, activity, enough sleep and changes that people can follow for a long time.
Even losing 5 to 10 percent of body weight may help some health risks.
Dr Shubham Vatsya said he reduced his weight from 110 kilograms to 74 kilograms over three years.
He said a patient’s question about his own weight struggles became a turning point.
Vatsya attributed his progress to consistent, gradual changes rather than shortcuts or trendy diets.
Dr Sundar Krishnan said slow, sustainable weight loss can be easier to maintain than rapid loss.
Experts said modest weight reductions may improve blood sugar, blood pressure and fatty liver risk in appropriate individuals.

Dr Sundar Krishnan
Senior consultant in internal medicine at KIMS Hospitals Thane
“From 110 kg to 74 kg, the physical change is visible. But the deeper shift was internal: finally living the same advice I give to the people who trust me, and no longer treating my own health as optional.”

“In fact, a slower and consistent approach can be easier to maintain. The focus should be on making changes that can become part of everyday life rather than following a restrictive diet for a few weeks.”
