Actor Kunal Khemu has told that he made water fasting and major changes in his diet to reduce his weight from 80 kg to 71 kg. He says that this method helped him a lot in losing weight.
Before starting water fasting, it is important to have complete information about it. After all, what is water fasting, how is it done, what are its benefits and which people should avoid it?
In a podcast, Kunal Khemu told that he had to look heavy for a film. For this, he did a lot of weight training and ate more carbohydrate foods. During this time his weight reached 80 kg for the first time. Later, he wanted a fit and lean look for his upcoming film Vibe. In such a situation, he decided to lose weight. According to Kunal, it took him about a year to reach 71-72 kg from 80 kg.
Kunal told that he already used to do intermittent fasting for 16 hours. After this he started a 24-hour water fast once a week. During this period he did not eat food and drank only water. He said that initially 18 to 20 hours of working time was the most difficult. But after 24 hours were completed, he felt less hungry. He adopted this method for about six weeks.
Kunal told that not only exercise but diet played the biggest role in losing weight. He stopped eating for a few months and adopted a high-protein and high-fat diet. Also stopped eating bread and other processed things. This change not only resulted in weight loss but also cured the acid reflux problem that had been troubling me for a long time. Later he gradually reintroduced rice into his diet.
Kunal says that every person’s body is different, hence it is important to consult a doctor or expert before starting any kind of fast or strict diet. According to him, one can remain fit for a long time only with right diet, exercise and patience.
