There are so many people who have doubted Ananat Ambani's weight loss - 'he has gone through some surgery', 'no one can lose this much weight'. But the truth is it was a long and steady 18 months journey for him, with all the highs and lows. Vinod Chanana his trainer told us ¡°I am very proud to say that yes I have trained Anant Ambani, and it is his hard work and determination which is very much visible now. About rumours, I want to say one thing that Anant is diabetic and asthmatic as well and to do a surgery in his condition was not at all possible rather it was quite risky. With people like Anant who have restricted body movements because of their weight we generally increase the timings for exercise. Whatever weight he has shed is through regular workouts and diet.¡±

It was not that easy as it sounds, from 208 kg to 100 kg takes hell lot of hard work and dedication to get back into shape.
"Anant Ambani's body transformation was a team work. This is not only done by me but it was effort of Anant and Dr. Andre Chimone as well. In my 22 years of career, I have never seen a person with so much dedication," said Channa.?

So, what was the Anant's schedule like, including his fitness training and diet? Anant focused on yoga, cardio, strength or functional training.?
"During the first phase, we focused on his nutrition which included protein, low carbs, fibres, etc. We started walking from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on his capacity. For resistance training, we added supporting equipment like leg press, chest press. Initially, the workouts were low on intensity as he was unable to do high sets, high reps due to his medical issue and body balancing problems," said Channa. Speaking about the diet, Channa had put Anant on a strict diet, consuming only 1200 calories in a day.?
"His diet includes lots of vegetables, sprouts, cottage cheese, lentils, pulses and half teaspoon of ghee. This was the only diet he had stick to. His calorie consumption in a day was 1200 -1400 calories," the coach said.?

Well, we all have our weak moments and Anant is also a human after all. When asked about his weak moments and if he thought of giving up, Channa said ,"Sometimes he used to expect that he needs to lose certain gram of weight everyday, which is not possible every time. His lifestyle, like late nights and hormonal changes and lot of other issues made him gain 200-300 grams due to which he felt de-motivated at times. He would be very tensed about his workout and diet routine. He wanted a diet plan that would make him lose weight everyday, which is impossible," he told?Business Insider.?
"Anant was aware what he needs to do and where he needs to reach. He was dedicated and strict with his diet which is very difficult for an individual who has a past of over eating and junk food," said Vinod.?
"I also used to give him break diets so that he felt motivated for regular workouts also. Workout sessions, with time, became fun and enjoyable for him," said Channa.?
Now that the secret is out and you there is no magic or surgery involved, it is time for you to gear up and get on the track!
