Prajakta Koli Shares how She Achieved Peak Fitness
YouTuber and actress Prajakta Koli recently opened up about attempting a strict diet, which made her clinically ill and miserable. Talking on comedian Bharti Singh's podcast, she pointed out how her fitness journey progressed from weight loss to focusing on overall health, mental as well as physical.“I’ve actually gained weight but lost fat. There was too much inflammation, bloating and water retention in my body. My weight was actually less earlier, but because I have gained muscle, I am heavier now, but I am toned.”
Koli revealed that she now relies on exercise, home-cooked meals, and balanced routines to maintain her health, rather than resorting to strict diets. “I cannot diet; food makes me too happy, I cannot leave it. I did try going on a strict diet once, I think I clinically got sick and was sad… after the Covid-19 lockdown, I realised I was very unhealthy. I was not able to get enough sleep, eat healthy, drink enough water, my skin was bad, I had hair fall, I was tired after walking 4 steps. That is how my fitness journey started. But with time, I realised that more than my physical health, my mental health depended on fitness and exercise.”
Fat loss is very important as it helps increase the basal metabolic rate (BMR), which allows the body to burn more calories at rest. Additionally, fat loss promotes long-term sustainability, as it typically occurs gradually through the adoption of healthy, sustainable habits such as regular exercise and balanced eating.
By following a balanced diet and workout routine, Prajakta Koli has been able to maintain her physical and mental well-being. She has revealed in various vlogs and posts over the past few years, how she stays fit: She follows a three-step fitness regimen that includes a mix of physical activity, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep.
