Anant Ambani’s fitness trainer regularly shares tips and tricks to lose weight. Recently he opened up about why people experience a stagnation while losing weight.

Weight loss is no cakewalk. Just restricting diet, random workout may not always help with optimal weight loss. There are times when people complain about getting stuck or not be able to lose weight further. “Many people usually complain that they are not losing weight/fat or reaching their target even after following healthy diet and regular exercise. This is one of the major reason due of which people gets de-motivated. In such cases, as per my experience of 22 years in fitness industry with specialization in 16 techniques, I have observed that most of the people do not understand the body type and blindly follow others, intensity of workout that is required, some medical issue, follow right nutrition etc,” explained Anant Ambani’s weight loss coach Vinod Channa.

Vinod Channa is a fitness expert who helped Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani to reduce about 108 kgs. He also is Nita Ambani’s fitness trainer and helped to navigate through her lifestyle and lose about 18 kgs. Channa, on his blog shared 4 reasons that are essential to lose weight and avoid weight loss mistakes. In his blog noted:

• Stop following other’s plan: Stop following others diet and exercise plan from internet or any other source which does not match with your requirement and lifestyle and it may not be suitable as per your fitness level.
• Invest in good trainer: Invest in a good trainer even though it might be expensive to understand correct form, technique, range of motion, intensity of workout and small steps which will take you to higher level of fitness without muscle wear and tear, understands body type, make you believe in yourself for challenging movements with the right guidance and will pull your potential out in effective manner and save your valuable time.
• Watch your cheat meals: I have seen that many people follow diet whole day but somewhere they do small cheats like adding sugary products or keep on taking bites of some fatty food. There are some people who follow diet for 4 to 5 days and thinks that 1 day cheat meal is allowed. However, this actually spoils their entire week’s hard work. It depends upon your body fat percentage whether you need to cheat in a week or once in 15 days. Ideally, you must break your diet only once in 15 days during the first phase of weight loss plan. After reaching your target, you are allowed to eat whatever you like once in a week while on other days you are supposed to follow good eating habits.
• Challenge yourself: Some people do not seem to challenge themselves while working out and do not come out from comfort zone which makes their workout ineffective as per their required intensity. This is the main reason that they do not progress and there is no fat loss. Sometimes, they tend to follow wrong form and range of motion which literally spoils 60 percent of their workout effect and they have quite high chances of injury.

Different weight loss routines work differently for individuals. Channa, is a celebrity fitness trainer who has expertise in training different routines fit for different people.
