- Mallika Fatehpuria lost 35 kg by stopping short-term dieting and focusing on habits
- She practiced portion control instead of cutting out carbs like bread and rice
- She avoided boring meals by making lighter yet enjoyable food choices
Weight loss is often seen as a tough, restrictive journey filled with strict diets, giving up favourite foods, and spending hours in the gym. But over time, many people are realising that this approach does not always work in the long run. Quick fixes may show results for a while, but they are hard to maintain. What actually makes a difference is building simple, sustainable habits that fit into your everyday life.
Content creator Mallika Fatehpuria shared a refreshing take on this through her Instagram post. Once weighing 90 kg and now at 55 kg, she lost 35 kg and her journey is less about what she did and more about what she stopped doing.
Here is a breakdown of everything that Mallika stopped doing to lose weight:
1. Going On Diets
The content creator shared that every time she followed a strict diet, she would lose some weight but gain it back. The turning point came when she stopped treating weight loss like a short-term goal and focused on habits she could stick to.
2. Cutting Out Carbs
Instead of removing foods like bread, rice, or pasta, she learned portion control. According to her, these foods were never the real problem – balance was.
3. Forcibly Eating Boring Meals
Mallika Fatehpuria realised that when food feels like punishment, it does not last. So she started making meals that were lighter but still enjoyable. This helped her stay consistent without feeling deprived.
4. Over-Exercising
Mallika admitted she used to think intense daily workouts were necessary. But over time, she found that simple things like walking, strength training, and staying active regularly worked much better.
In her words, weight loss does not have to mean “giving up good food or making yourself miserable.” Her journey shows that consistency and balance matter more than extremes.
