So, if you wanted to lose extra pounds and get into shape, then you should better get inspired from my most favorite singer ‘Adnan Sami’.Adnan Sami Khan (born 15 August 1971) is an Indian singer, musician, music composer, and pianist. It is only his dedication and desire to get fit (survive) that lead to such positive results. Well, the journey of Adnan Sami from 200 kilos to 70 kilos is definitely appreciable. In the later stages, things began to get better. The trainer has suggested him to do a moderate amount of walking first, as he was still heavy to perform running.Īfter a few more kilos down, Adnan was allowed to run on the treadmill and perform a mix of weights and cardio exercises for 1 hour daily (with 1 day rest per week).įollowing up on this routine strictly for a few months, the results are amazing.Īnd, according to Adnan, ‘he could lie down, sleep longer, stand longer and move freely’. He then chose Prashant Sawant from Mumbai as his fitness trainer. It was then, he decided to incorporate exercise in his routine to boost the results. With the help of dieting alone, he lost around 40 kilos of weight. Adnan Sami’s Exercise Routine for Weight LossĪs he was very obese, exercising was not his cup of tea initially and so he depended solely on a low calorie diet plan. He is also allowed to eat chicken for proteins instead of dal, but Adnan says he doesn’t like it. Dinner: He only ate plain boiled dal (no rice or roti).Lunch: He munches on vegetable salad tossed with 1 tsp of fat-free dressing and tandoori fish.Early Morning: Adnan Sami starts his day with sugarless tea.

He was not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverages as they ruin the weight loss results, but sugar free drinks, diet fudge sticks (made of fudge chocolate), diet ice lollies are allowed.

He was asked to eat only vegetable salads, popcorn without butter, tandoori fish and boiled dal, that too without adding any oil to the recipes.

His nutritionist suggested him to stay away from White rice, bread, sugar and oils.

This unconditional love of eating led to extreme weight gain. He always used to eat, whether it is a happy or a sad moment. The expert has found out that Adnan was an emotional eater. Of-course, this is a very high figure and risky too, but since he weighed more than 2 tones, it is reasonable. Well, it is confirmed by Adnan himself in an interview that he didn’t undergo any weight loss surgeries like the Bariatric Surgery.Īll he has done was proper dieting and fat burning exercises.Īccording to his interview, Adnan Sami has lost around 23.4 pounds (10.5 kilos) per month. Did Adnan Sami Undergo Surgery to Lose Weight? On June 6, 2006, he ate to his heart’s content which included a huge cheese cake, mashed potatoes and a potter house steak with lots of butter.įrom the next day onward (i.e., June 7), he dedicated himself to the strict low carb high protein diet, followed by regular workouts to lose weight naturally. It was then, Adnan Sami’s Weight Loss Journey Started. It was then he moved back to his native place ‘Houston’, where he started his weight loss journey. Up on the force from his father, Adnan has decided to put aside all his work commitments for 6 months and take care of his weight. It was then, the doctors have warned him that he would not survive more than 6 months if he didn’t control or reduce his growing weight. During that time, he suffered from sleep apnea because his extra fat pushed against his lungs whenever he lay down.
