Actor Ram Kapoor may have surprised many when he shared his new look on Instagram in December 2024. But his weight-loss journey started months before that. In between his workouts, he would take selfies and post them on social media. The Jubilee actor had been working on himself for months. In a new interview, the 51-year-old revealed that no weight loss surgery or medication helped him to lose 55 kilos. For the Student of the Year actor, it was all about eating healthy and sticking to his fitness routine.<\/p>\n
Ram Kapoor shares new look<\/h2>\n
Even though Ram Kapoor gave a glimpse of his body transformation<\/a> in March, and April 2024, it was in December that he shared his new look on Instagram post weight loss. After a post in September 2024, he posted a selfie and captioned it, \u201cHi guys, sorry for the slightly long absence from Insta was working on myself quite extensively.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Dressed in casuals, and posing in front of a mirror, Ram Kapoor looked fit and healthy in the photo. Many of his Instagram followers, including fellow actor Sharad Kelkar asked him how he managed to lose so much weight.<\/p>\n You may also like<\/p>\n He reportedly lost 55 kg in one year. In an interview with Devna Gandhi<\/a>, he shared that he was 140 kg and now he weighs 85 kg. \u201cSo yes, a half of me has disappeared,\u201d says the actor, known for shows like \u201cBade Achhe Lagte Hain,\u201d and \u201cKasamh Se\u201d.<\/p>\n He felt lucky enough to be accepted as an actor even though he was big when it came to his body size. \u201cWhen you are 140 kg, nobody sees your looks, they see your belly,\u201d said the actor.<\/p>\n Without sharing any names, the actor recalled that once he talked about his body transformation plans with a popular director. The director reportedly told Ram Kapoor, \u201cYou have a very strong brand as a huge guy. The only person who was loved and accepted in the industry as a huge guy was (actor) Amjad Khan. If you are changing yourself then you are taking a risk.\u201d He agreed with the director but the actor said he decided to lose extra weight for himself.<\/p>\n The 51-year-old, who is married to actress Gautami Kapoor, shared that a long time ago, he had told his family that for his career, he would \u201cstay huge but I cannot stay this unhealthy for forever.\u201d The actor, who has two children, wanted to set the right example for them. He wants to live as long as he can see them grow, and see his grandchildren. \u201cDoing something for your career is different but at some point, you have to prioritise yourself. I had set a goal that at 50, I was going to get fit and I did that,\u201d said the actor.<\/p>\n He started his weight-loss journey about a year and a half back. He was doing well in the first six months but then he had a \u201cvery bad fall,\u201d and he hurt his shoulder. He had to undergo surgery, followed by eight months of physiotherapy. \u201cSo, everything on the weight loss front stopped, it was those six months and another six months after that helped me transform,\u201d recalled the TV star.<\/p>\n Ozempic (semaglutide) is often prescribed by doctors to people with type 2 diabetes as it can lower blood sugar levels<\/a>. It is also being used by non-diabetics to manage their weight. During a 2022 study published in Nature Medicine<\/a>, semaglutide treatment in overweight adults led to substantial, and sustained weight loss. But this is not what helped Ram Kapoor to lose weight. \u201cI never took Ozempic or any other drug for weight loss<\/a>, neither did I do bariatric surgery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n People told him that he had bariatric surgery, a surgical procedure to manage obesity. He said no and if had done it then he would not have hidden it. Even though he didn\u2019t undergo any surgery, many people do. As many as 6.5 million people underwent bariatric surgery from 2008 to 2018, as per research published in the Journal of Visceral Surgery<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n He shared that he followed intermittent fasting<\/a>, an eating pattern that involves alternating periods of eating and fasting. Intermittent fasting may be more beneficial for adults with overweight or obesity, compared to non-intervention diet, as per research published in eClinicalMedicine<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cNow I eat twice a day, once between 10.30 and 11 am and the second time at about 6.30 pm. Nothing in between, so 8 hours in the day and 16 hours at night,\u201d said the artiste. He also does 45 minutes of cardio exercise, and 45 minutes of strength training. He also focuses on good quality sleep to be healthy.<\/p>\n Inspired by Ram Kapoor to lose extra body weight?
