Badminton vs Gym
Looking for suggestions for weight loss.
Current weight - 125kg Age - 26
Should I start with badminton or gym considering 9 hours office everyday (mon - Fri)
Currently at 125kgs and 26M.
Working in Bangalore. 2 hours goes in travelling (both ways included) and 9 hours in office everyday(Mon-Fri).
Please share some tips/transformation stories which can help me in loosing weight. My target is to reach 85kgs.
I can relate a bit. I was 90kgs while working, now at 70kgs.
Sustained calorific deficit is the only way. Diet and exercise.
(1) Walking. Do a lot of walking. Walk while talking, while working if possible. It burns calories left and right.
(2) Calculate your maintenance calorie requirement and use HealthifyMe to stay 10% below daily required calories.
(3) Have 1 cheat day a week where you eat maintenance level (or even 10% above). Prevents your metabolism from getting used to lower calories and keeps your calorie burn rate high.
(4) There’s no such thing as burning fat away from certain areas. Just focus on losing weight and you'll be good.
(5) Introduce more protein in your diet (soyabeans, beans, rajma, etc.) to prevent muscle loss while in calorific deficit. You want to lose excess fat not muscle so lifting some weights daily for 10 mins goes a long way.
Soyabeans, daal, beans, rajma etc are not protein source
@SaveBugs then what is source for protein except chicken, meat and eggs?
Consult a dietician along with a fitness trainer to help you get your diet plan along with some daily exercise which you can fit in your schedule.
Apart from that try to follow these things:
All the best!
2 ltr water is enough
I double checked this and it seems according to weight one can calculate their water intake needs.
However it's normal water intake.
It doesn't consider the amount of extra water needed for the below:
Strength training at least 4-5 days every week. Eat 1-1.5g protein per kg of body weight (paneer is the best protein, if you can eat eggs eat them, and add whey if you can). I dropped 25kgs in 1.3 years, you can too.
Go calorie deficit. That is the easiest way. Cut down on carbs and ensure you get whatever protein supplement to help you out. Ensure you walk 10k steps everyday
Whatever you need to do, you need to find time daily towards it. Solve that 2hr commute if you can, unless that is done, you are completely drained and demotivated to take the essential steps
First calculate your maintenance calories.
Now if it's 3000, consume around 400-500 less calories per day. Inshort get into the caloric deficit routine. Its basic science and most people just dont follow it.
Complete at least 8-10k steps per day.
Cut down on all the junk and processed food.
Start hitting the gym, else you will have muscle loss. Look into Body recomposition Strategy.
Consume at least 1.5 gm protein per kg of bodyweight.
Get your macros right don't eat a lot of carbs and fat. Supplement them with protein.
It will take time dont expect results in 4-6 months.
Go for a low carb diet. I was 100kgs before and now 85kg. Eat high fat moderate protein and low carb food. Eat more eggs, chicken, dahi, paneer etc. go on a calorie deficit. You've to work hard but you will achieve it
Find a gym near office and workout there before/after office. Easier to build routine and will reduce one extra commute to/from gym.

Bangalore traffic is insane! I spend 3hrs daily stuck in traffic. My productivity and mental health is suffering. Any tips to deal with this madness? WFH not an option in my company.
