The first time I decided to lose fat and get ripped, I nosedived into an almost ascetic style of dieting and working out. Needless to say, it was a big mistake.

Every time my progress stalled, I further reduced my food intake and upped my physical activity.

I gradually developed a sickly pallor, sunken cheeks, deep bags under my eyes, and felt extremely exhausted all day.

By the end, I was eating less than 1000 calories per day, cycling 10 km thrice a week, and working out in the gym the other 4 days.

From 87 kgs to 63 kgs, I had lost 24 kgs in a span of 6 months — a lot of strength and muscle along with the fat.

Standing 6'1'’ tall and weighing only 63 kgs, I looked skinny and almost anorexic as opposed to ripped.

With the constant fear of regaining weight, I developed an unhealthy relationship with food — obsessing over every single calorie and checking my abs after every meal.

Only after a couple of months did I finally get back to eating enough, making progress in the gym, and looking healthy.
