okay so let’s get started uh so uh welcome ashot uh pleasure to meet you finally I saw your before and after amazing before and after by the way so I just wanted to call you and dialogue and and see how you did it and uh I guess you were mentioning you were trying to do with exercise at first right y y so um so I always had this weight problem because uh uh uh being a millennial I I have I I fed a lot on the fast food and all the processed food so and all the all the D all the sodas the Coke and Pepsi so I always had this tendency to gain weight and since sugar is no evil when you’re growing up it’s actually a treat uh so it’s it’s you don’t know why you’re gaining the weight where did you grow up uh where where uh so I I grew up in India uh so I’m presently in New Delhi I I spend some time in Mumbai uh so it was mainly India but um the junk food is everywhere uh and I think so I guess I’ve never been uh too far out of the country but I I guess in my mind I’m thinking if you go to India it’s all clean food all healthy food is that a a falsehood no that’s that’s a falsehood at least for the people who know that ketos is life now I no it’s it’s it’s it’s a falsehood and it’s um for Century that’s a f because uh no matter what carbohydrates and sugar they are part of everyone’s life and U if if sometime we think about it I think we all when I well I read one of the book and uh most of our ketosis stuff is quite closely related to Evolution so I think we all survived because of carbohydrates because if we are all meat eaters it’ll be little tough so we all survived but I think it it has really spoiled uh our genes and you know the tendency to gain weight it’s it’s quite fast so so of course carbohydrates are very important part of our diet in India we have lot of different kind of breads rice lentils uh it’s all Cs and we have like amazing deserts uh so and and it’s a treat right it’s a treat when you do something good you you have some deserts so so that’s uh so you eventually gain weight you know uh and uh um I I think I had an a pretty average Gene that I had to work really hard on my workouts specifically running in order to just maintain my weight um so I I hanged around a a scale of weight which I thought is perfect but I was kind of overweight even in that that uh range um but then of course I changed my diet and and it and I finally was able to get into a weight which was which was which was good for my height and uh age so so um how long ago did you kind of start this process of going oh wow ketosis I’m going to try this oh yeah so uh so I I try to control my weight I think ever since let let me just give you some background how I try to control it before uh uh getting into a keto diet um so ever since my late uh Teenage and uh during my mid 20s I’m right now uh exactly 30 so uh till my mid 20s I was able to control my weight with running I bought a treadmill uh but of course my diet was was just the regular di with carbs and sugar and you know having tea and coffee with a lot of sugar I liked it uh and but I used to run a lot uh but however for for for almost 12 to 13 years I I stopped having fat because that’s the most logical thing like I’m gaining fat so I should stop eating fat um so I had no butter no ghee um uh no cheese uh um very little meat in meat mainly chicken not mutton or any other kind of meat because cholesterol and all those things which are associated with red meat and eggs uh and I try to work out with running in order to control my weight and even after controlling it I could I was always in the range between 72 to 75 so if I am 72. 5 I used to think I’m healthy I am fit uh and I would reach 75 very quickly then again I’ll start running I would spend like considerable amount of my day in running uh but then two years back uh one of my another colleague uh shadab Ahmed uh he was also struggling with weight and he came across this book called why we get fat what to do about it have you heard about it uh okay uh that is a book he came across and he shared it with me he gave a long lecture about it and I went through it uh and I was totally you know I I read three over a weekend I read that book and I was totally by the science in it I was totally amazed uh followed up I watched some lectures on YouTube I started following your Channel uh with the your daily videos and as they have I think your videos are now I think we get two videos a day uh so I regularly watch your videos and uh you know I started um getting uh uh the whole doctrine of ketosis started getting into me and um I started following ketosis around two years back one and a half two years back and for 3 months I followed it very very religiously I didn’t even do exercise CU I read somewhere that is not that important I think I even in your lectures you say that running in a marathon is not a good thing right jogging and right because I think it’s a like the exercise is about 15 if you look at 15% 85% is Diet exercise is 15% yeah right and I remember one of your videos you actually described that it’s it it won’t help you in your old age because if we run in marathons and we will it will impact our knees um and we might might suffer a lot during uh in our old age we can do it right now we are young but later on we’ll have bad impact of it so it it will backfire um so I religiously followed it and within 3 months I lost significant weight from 75 my top was 75 and at that time uh even with running it was not getting controlled uh so I with the diet within three three and a half months I lost uh from 75 to 63 that was 12 kgs in 3 months uh in I think it would be around uh 25 lbs U so that was significant uh but of course in last one year uh uh I would say that I have uh even this diet uh I have evolved this diet like uh when I started I I misinterpreted it has zero cups and high fat and high protein uh but then of course it impacts your liver right in I think in one of your I think today’s video I Remember You you had talk about the fatty liver part right so it impacts your liver so I tweaked uh I I continue to tweak the diet and evolve it uh by increasing vegetables and then lowering down the meat to one meal and of course eggs I really like eggs so I have uh so this was this was the whole diet part of course the benefits were not just limited to um to my to my weight loss uh when I added butter and uh and ghee and shees to my diet so I had a very dry skin imagine somebody not having fat for 12 13 years I had a very terrible dry skin no matter how much uh awesome creams I use it’s not going to help uh but suddenly I do you see this brightness it’s it’s all natural so there’s no cream no additional stuff and all my friends tell me that you know I look significant younger uh than what I was just a year and a half back so they were not just it’s not just limited to weight loss and uh and and on and beside that I I have I have a very uh uh kind of a stressful job uh long hours and all but my productivity has increased um it’s like 12:00 at night but my energy is really not down I can still work couple of hours more uh so I think it has also helped me professionally wow I just want to make one one one point um for those people that are watching that don’t know what we’re talking about um he started something called the ketogen diet but he’s been watching my videos and basically I tweak the ketogenic diet I add a lot of vegetables to it uh we like to graduate into it and not jump into so many fats and we want a moderate amount of protein but as far as what it could do for your your skin and for your energy ketones basically are the byproduct of fat and ketones are more efficient they’re less stressful they produce less waste they help with your cognitive function so those of you that are watching you may want to try try
