Though the Coronavirus outbreak brought in several bad news and had put the entire livelihood at stake, one way or the other, it definitely did some good to many as well. While some bonded well with their close ones, others tried their hands in some other fields like cooking, singing, learning musical instruments and so on.
There were also some who thought to give themselves a new shape and decided to shed their extra-kilos. In one such surprising incident, popular actress and model Shehnaaz Gill who was also a famous participant in Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 13, lost 12 kgs in just 6 months, leaving her fans shocked and surprised equally.
In March, Shehnaaz weighed 67 kgs and is currently 55 kgs. When asked about the secret to losing 12 kgs in six months, she said that she simply reduced the portions of her meals. On being quizzed why she decided to shed, she replied, “A large amount of work has come to a standstill all around, so I thought why not just go for weight loss? Some people made fun of my weight in Bigg Boss 13. Many people lose weight, I thought let me show people that I can be slim too. It’s not difficult to lose weight if you really want to.”
She further continued that reducing the quantity of food she ate helped her lose weight. “Trust me, I went in for a simple reduction in my eating habits. You can say that I cut off on my non-vegetarian food, chocolates and ice cream and nothing else. But besides that, let me explain how I ate because therein lies the catch. Every day, I ate just one or two things. I wouldn’t stuff too much variety in my daily consumption of food. For example, if I ate dal and moong for lunch, I would eat the same for dinner. And I reduced the portions. If I was hungry for two rotis, I ate only one. Mann maarke khati thi (I would suppress my feeling of hunger and eat). And it started working,” she said.
