How Sustainable Changes Helped Yash Vardhan Swami Lose 44 Kilograms
From 122 Kg to 78 Kg in 8 months: How I lost weight with more than just diet, exercise · indianexpress.com

Yash Vardhan Swami was very overweight and had a daily routine with lots of junk food, gaming and little movement.

In 2012, he decided to change his habits.

He began exercising with weights five days a week and eating more protein.

He also added more vegetables, fruit and other nutritious foods.

Over eight months, he lost 44 kilograms.

Later, he used intermittent fasting to help control when he ate.

His main message is that people should build a healthy routine they can keep doing.
