Actor Ram Kapoor’s drastic weight loss has stunned the internet once again. The television actor got back on the social media site Instagram after a hiatus, dropping pictures of his incredible physical transformation. In his first post after a long break, Kapoor shared a mirror selfie, leaner and fitter. "Hi guys, sorry for the slightly long absence from Insta was working on myself quite extensively (sic)," he wrote.
In 2019, Kapoor underwent a remarkable weight loss transformation, shedding 30 kg in just seven months and adopting a much healthier lifestyle. Ram had revealed his routine, saying he was following intermittent fasting.
Ram’s weight loss regime
Kapoor said his intermittent fasting diet involved the 16/8 window, which involves fasting for 16 hours and eating within an 8-hour window:
When to eat
Kapoor ate between noon and early evening, usually before 8 PM, in which he did not eat any breakfast.
What to eat
Kapoor focused highly on eating a low-carb diet and including fibre-loaded fruits.
Exercise
Kapoor also worked out for two hours in the morning and at night doing cardio and weightlifting to balance out different exercises.
How does the 16:8 intermittent fasting work?
16:8 diet accelerates the weight loss process by cutting down your calorie consumption and boosting metabolism. It also keeps a check on your blood sugar levels, which may accelerate after eating. According to studies, this diet lowers your blood sugar levels by 3 per cent and can reduce the risk of insulin resistance by 31 per cent.
Experts say the 16:8 diet plan is super effective in losing weight, apart from helping you reduce blood pressure levels, which is a common problem with those who are overweight or obese. Intermittent fasting helps slow the ageing process, lowers the risk of heart disease, and improves sleep quality.
The do’s and don’ts
Here are a few do’s and don’ts you must keep in mind while following this diet:
