A few weeks ago, author, entrepreneur, and content creator Ankur Warikoo took to social media to share that he had shed 10 kg in the past 12 months.
On Monday, Warikoo shared a thread on X (formerly Twitter), detailing his journey towards losing weight and shared a "3T model", which focused on track, train and transform and admitted that he continued to eat foods like chole bhature during the weight loss journey.
"Fat-free at 43! How I shed only 10kgs in a year to get to this shredded look. The 3T Model 1. Track. 2. Train. 3. Transform," Warikoo wrote on the social media platform on Monday.

He also revealed details of his usual diet plan, that comprised of whey protein, nuts, paneer, eggs, fruits, pulses, vegetables, and curd, among other foods and also said that he had his first meal at 9 am and did not eat anything after 6:30 pm.

4pm: 2 roti (emmer wheat/jowar/soya bean) + sabzi + daal + low fat yogurt630pm: 1 scoop protein with curd
Of course, I had days where I had chole bhature and sweets - those were not rare, but quite common.

2/ TrainWith the calorie deficit, you begin to lose fat.
Which can make you skinny.
You need to build muscles.Muscles increase your metabolic rate (you burn calories faster) and of course look good, amongst several other benefits.

"This is really inspiring, Ankur. Persistence, consistency, and delayed gratification always pay!" one user wrote.
"I read the whole thread and now I feel like it's high time that I should take my health seriously. This is surely inspiring to the extent that I'm 20 years younger than you and still hasn't worked on my health improvements and feeling a bit of shame. Thanks for the reality check," another user wrote.
This is not the first instance where Warikoo has spoken about weight loss and the steps taken by him towards looking slimmer and fitter.
In June 2023, he shared that he had lost 8 kg in 16 weeks after consuming specific supplements, but was criticised by a doctor who offered medical explanation about some of the side-effects the supplements carried.
