42 kg Weight Loss for a 13-Year-Old: Kanavdeep Singh

42 kg weight loss, more energy, and a healthier lifestyle. ~Dr. Raghav Thukral

Kanavdeep joined us at 112 kg body weight, due to wrong eating habits, late-night binge watching and hormonal imbalance at such a young age.

The combination of yoga and diet allowed him to lose 42 kg and have more energy than ever before. He also grew 6.3 inches during the programme. He feels better than ever, no longer feels inferior, and enjoys a more active lifestyle.

Once you start to observe changes in yourself and feel fresher, you’ll never want to go back to your older, lethargic self. That’s all the motivation one needs while trying to lose weight.

It’s all about having a regular routine and being disciplined. Earlier, he loved fast food and street food and routinely ordered food from outside. Now he says a big no to those. It is all about how dedicated you are to the goal in front of you, and putting in hard work from day one. “It will not happen in a day, but it will happen someday.”

You need to have patience, as one cannot lose all the extra weight in a few days. Nothing happens overnight, so believe in your efforts. Losing weight makes you fitter, more energetic and more confident.

A note on height: height is determined mainly by genetics and can only increase while the growth plates are still open during childhood and adolescence. Good nutrition, sleep and regular exercise help a young person reach their natural height potential — they cannot add height after growth has finished.
