Till my early 30s I used to be super lean. However, being in the IT occupation made me gain weight for the first time.
Around 2005, I had a short stint in the US, away from my family and was planning to make better use of available time. Coincidentally I got my hands on a Marathi book called “Maza Sakshatkari Hrudayrog” by Dr. Abhay Bang.
This proved to be a turning point, making me an avid health & fitness enthusiast, till today.
Then, within 6+ months, I lost 15 kgs & attained the best shape / fitness levels which I continued to be in even now.
Finally, I got myself trained in Sports Nutrition as well as Exercise Science. Over here I learnt Lowcarb and Ketogenic nutritional approach.
I started experimenting and soon aced the lowcarb lifestyle, which helped me finally remit my T2D, getting a nod from my diabetologist to stop the entry-level T2D medicine I was put on.
Being passionate about spreading awareness about lowcarb and to help people attain better metabolic health,
I took a plunge from the IT profession & started my online Lifestyle Coaching venture: eatRightMonk.
Over the last few years I trained a few hundred individuals, couples and families, which brought about an amazing transformation & happiness in their lives!
Many amongst us, are obsessed about attaining a specific external look (regarding weight, inches, skin tone etc.) – which is not entirely wrong.
However, the focus ideally should be possessing the best Metabolic health, which not only helps in correcting external factors, but helps in keeping many ailments, disorders away. The only way to achieve the same is by embracing optimized nutrition, and physical activities as a lifestyle.
Through eatRightMonk program, I help the trainees by tweaking Lowcarb framework to suit their goals, likings & profession, to make it a sustainable lifestyle.
Exercise can assist you in improving muscle strength, endurance & attaining overall fitness. However it's not a primary tool on your fatloss journey. Moreover you do not need too many different types of workouts to achieve fatloss.
Consuming incorrect foods and mindless foods with mindless exercising is a reason your going thru a yo-yo cycle when it comes to fatloss.
Nutrition, Exercise & Sleep / Recovery are tripods of attaining better health, and nutrition is the key contributing leg of that tripod.
