But amongst the many celebrities who chose fad diets and crash trends, there is one actor who went for a sustainable lifestyle choice that led him to a dramatic weight loss. And what's even more impressive is that he achieved this result without any diet or gym. Just lifestyle changes and discipline.
Dilip Joshi's Dramatic Transformation
The actor that we are talking about is none other than Dilip Joshi. Famously known for portraying the role of "Jethala" in "Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashmah". This beloved actor stunned his fans with his massive weight loss. Unlike his on-screen avatar, where he is seen indulging in Gujrati delights like Fafda, Jalebi, etc, he follows a clean diet in real life. Once this actor used to indulge in these unhealthy foods, but then came a turning point in his life. In 1992, Dilip was offered the role of a scientist in the Gujarati movie Hun Hunshi Hunshilal. To do justice to the character, he needed to look fitter and leaner. That became the turning point in his fitness journey.
How did Dilip Joshi lose 16 kilos in 45 days?
In a throwback interview, Dilip Joshi shared how he incorporated running into his daily routine while working full-time in Mumbai. He revealed that after his shoot, he would head to a nearby swimming club to change, and then run from the Oberoi Hotel to Marine Drive, even in the rain. He revealed he would run for 45 and followed this practice religiously.
With this practice and entirely natural fitness routine, without any diet, dietitian, or gym, Dilip was able to achieve an impressive weight loss of 16 kilos in just 45 days. He could do it with commitment, routine, and consistency.
