Balaji Surywanshi reveals how he lost 15 kilos in two months by walking 10,000 steps.

I am 28 and work as a regulatory affairs professional in Mumbai.

In May 2019, I weighed 73 kilos.

My office is half an hour away from my house. When I take the local train, I prefer to stand for 30 minutes of the journey. Some time in May 2019, I realised that I couldn't stand for 30 minutes and got tired easily.

I also felt out of breath if I walked a little.

That's when I decided to focus on my health and change my food and lifestyle.

I started walking 2 km a day, slowly reaching 10,000 steps.

At the end of two months, I lost 15 kilos.

Diet

I used to avoid a meal three times in a day because my basal metabolic rate is low. I realised I don't need to eat three times food in a day. I followed intermittent fasting (16:8 food eating window) and my body responded very well. It helped me to lose maximum weight in short period of time.

Later, I switched to healthier, portioned, meals.

Breakfast : 2-3 boiled eggs or poha, idli

Workout

When I started, I walked 2 km for the first few days.

Later on, I gathered speed and walked 5 km or 10,000 steps each day, either in the morning or evening and sometimes twice a day. I decided to have only homemade food. I gave up junk, oily food and stopped ordering from outside. I switched to vegetarian food for 60 days.

I used to check my weight twice a week;

Lessons learned

I realised that diet is a very important factor in weight loss. Hence, I focused on food intake and obviously, consistency in my workout. During the initial 60 days, I didn't miss my workout for a single day.

My biggest motivation was the difference in my physique.

Whenever I saw myself in the mirror, I got charged up to sweat more and lose weight.

I have realised that consistency is the key.

When we are in a consistent zone, nothing can stop us to achieve our goal.

If you are patient, disciplined and work hard, you can accomplish anything.

Going forward, I would like to have a toned body with a very low-fat level.

How many steps does it take to lose 1kg?

Most people need a calorie deficit of around 500 calories per day to lose half a kilo per week. Thus, people aiming to lose weight should exercise for at least 150-200 minutes per week and walk 10,000 steps per day to achieve their weight loss goals.

timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Weight loss: How many calories can walking 10000 steps burn?

How many of you think that hitting the 10K mark on your fitness band is enough to maintain your health? Well, most of us. The idea of walking 10,000 steps per day originated in 1965 when a Japanese company developed a pedometer called 'Manpo-Kei', which means '10,000 steps meter'. The goal became a famous one because it was easy to remember and way beyond the daily steps for most people. The best part about the 10,000 steps goal is that it's challenging but achievable at the same time. But is walking 10,000 steps a day enough? It totally depends on your goals. Here in this article, we will delve into how many calories can 10,000 steps help you burn and can it help you lose weight.
