Bharti Singh weight loss: 4 things Bharti Singh did to lose 15 kg+ fast

In the past year and a half, while we have seen many, including celebs talk of lockdown weight gain, there are many celebrities who took the time to work on their bodies and lose weight. The latest addition to the list is television's famous personality, Bharti Singh. Making many laugh with her jokes, television comedian Bharti Singh is now making heads turn with her drastic weight loss journey. Appearing back on the comedy show, 'The Kapil Sharma Show', Bharti looks a lot lighter, and is said to have lost around 15 kilos. Her recent photos have in fact, gone viral on social media, with netizens showering nothing but praise on her.

Bharti, who once weighed 96 kilos looks absolutely phenomenal, and much fitter than before. While the actress has been a known name in the industry for several years now, it was only recently that she decided to work on her body. In an interview, she said, "The last 30-32 years I haven’t taken care of myself, and would eat at odd times. That caused a lot of issues and I was even at borderline diabetes. I also got asthma during my stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi, and would also get tired really easily. Now, having shed my extra kilos I am feeling so much lighter and don’t even have any health issues.”

Bharti also talked about giving fasting a try after hearing of tremendous benefits from fellow co-stars, who backed the trend. “I would often talk to all these actors and they mentioned how they would fast for long hours. I decided to give it a try. While initially, I would crave food late at night, I worked hard on it and now my body has accepted the new change."

The transformation, which is absolutely incredible, has also left many asking Bharti to share her tips. Although the actress has claimed that she did not follow any rigorous diet or intense workouts or yoga, she maintains that the secrets behind her 15-kilo weight loss lie in changing her eating habits.

Today, we share with you the 4 simple changes which helped Bharti on her journey to lose weight, which can be followed by you too!

As Bharti has admitted, she was inspired by the stars to try fasting and the health benefits it offers. To lose weight herself , without having to go for rigorous exercise, Bharti followed the science-backed strategy of losing weight, Intermittent Fasting, wherein an individual follows a diet plan which is divided into fasting and non-fasting hours. As reports mention, Bharti followed a variation of the diet wherein she ate nothing after 7 pm in the evening, and her next meal was only in the afternoon. Long fasting hours like this (16:8) helps flush out toxins from the body, speed up metabolism and consume fewer calories and reach a deficit faster. It also offers several health benefits, and is trusted by many stars in both Bollywood and Hollywood.

While Bharti is a self-confessed foodie who has often talked about her love for food and all things desi (and loaded with calories), the one thing which Bharti did was to follow a diet plan which allowed her to eat everything and anything, without giving up. Since she was following a strict diet wherein her body went into the fasting stage, she did not have to restrict her diet at all. In fact, she even mentioned that all that she posts on Instagram, from makhan (butter) to paranthas (flatbreads) were what she ate in real life too, thanks to Intermittent Fasting! Skipping foods from your diet, unless specifically advised, is not also helpful , since it can lead to nutrient loss and devoid you of choices, essentially turning weight loss into a 'chore'.

Again, even with the dietary changes, the one thing that really benefits weight watchers is practicing portion control. By moderating and limiting your diet, only eating specific portions for the day, you are less likely to overdo the calorie requirements for the day, or feel heavy or bloated too. Portion control is important when you're trying to lose weight and keep it off. This way, you eat what your body needs, instead of mindlessly overindulging and get to eat without any form of undue restrictions.

An actor's life is often spent between hectic shooting schedules and erratic lifestyle. While it's important to eat meals well according to time, Bharti also admitted that she made a big lifestyle change and ate meals according to a strict routine. Even while she was following the rules of fasting, she made sure to eat her meals within the window and avoided binge eating or excess snacking.
