Once weighed down by self-doubt, Rohan made a choice to change, not just for looks, but for his health and self-respect. His transformation is proof that with the right mindset, you can achieve everything.
1) Why did you decide to transform?
I was a bit chubby since childhood and always wished to be slim. No matter how hard I tried to change, I kept failing and eventually gave up. Then last year, I started eating a lot more, which made me gain even more weight. I began to feel terrible about myself. I couldn’t even do small tasks properly, and I’d run out of breath just from walking a little. One day, I finally decided that I needed to completely change my life, starting with my health. From that day till now, I’ve been consistently working on becoming a better version of myself.
2) How did you accomplish your goals?
It took me 8 months to lose weight with cardio and strength training. And I’m still working towards my goals. However, my focus has now changed from fat loss to muscle building.
3) Training routine that helped you achieve your goals?
When I was overweight, I started with brisk walking and some bodyweight exercises to build discipline. After three months, I joined the gym where I now follow the routine of push-pull-legs and cardio, six days a week.
4) Which supplements did you take?
I’ve been taking protein supplements along with zinc, vitamin K2, vitamin D3, vitamin C, magnesium glycinate, and omega-3. For the past two months, I’ve also been taking creatine.
5) What challenges did you face during your transformation?
In the beginning, I faced a lot of physical discomfort; my legs used to hurt while walking, and sometimes I felt very demotivated. Moreover, I had to control my hunger and cravings, which was tough as initially, I didn’t have a proper understanding of a suitable diet, so I researched a lot about calorie deficit. After that, I never faced issues like hitting a plateau.
6) Suggestion for future transformers.
For all those on a weight loss journey, just eat in a calorie deficit and track everything you consume. Also, make sure to do weight training along with cardio. Just stay consistent. If I can do it, so can you!
