10 RULES I’D FOLLOW TO LOSE 20KG IN 3 MONTHS
Losing 20kg in 3 months is an aggressive target and isn’t appropriate for everyone. Your rate of weight loss should depend on your starting weight, health, activity and individual calorie needs.
If fat loss is the goal, these are the habits I’d focus on:
1. Stay in a Calorie Deficit
Fat loss requires consistently eating fewer calories than you burn. Build your meals around filling, nutrient-dense foods and plenty of vegetables.
2. Eat Plenty of Protein
Eggs, chicken, fish, paneer, dal, beans, Greek yogurt and curd can help you hit your protein target while supporting muscle during fat loss.
3. Make Water Your Main Drink
Aim for adequate hydration throughout the day. Keep sugary drinks and high-calorie beverages to a minimum.
4. Keep High-Calorie Snacks Under Control
You don’t need to completely ban your favourite foods. Just understand their calories and keep portions controlled.
5. Aim for 8,000–10,000 Steps Daily
Walking is simple, sustainable and an easy way to increase your daily activity.
6. Strength Train 3–4 Times a Week
Prioritise resistance training to build or maintain muscle while losing body fat.
7. Use Intermittent Fasting Only If It Helps You
16:8 can work for some people because it makes eating within a calorie target easier. You don’t need OMAD or extreme fasting to lose fat.
8. Build Your Meals Around Indian Foods
Think eggs, oats, roti, rice, dal, rajma, chicken, fish, paneer, curd, vegetables and fruit.
You don’t need an imported “diet food” to get lean.
9. Plan Your Meals Before You Get Hungry
Knowing what you’re eating makes it much easier to stay consistent and avoid random high-calorie choices.
10. Track More Than Your Weight
Take progress photos, waist measurements and note how your clothes fit and how your strength changes.
Your weight can fluctuate from day to day.
Look at the trend, not one weigh-in.
No detox tea.
No magic food.
No extreme restriction.
Calorie control + protein + training + daily movement + consistency.
That’s what makes fat loss work.
