‘Sleeping well, eating right’: Former cricketer Salil Ankola loses 15 kg at 58

Former cricketer Salil Ankola, 58, has shed 15 kg through diet and hard work on himself, according to his wife and nutritionist Dr Ria Ankola. In an Instagram post, Dr Ria shared pictures of Salil from January 2026 and the present day, crediting his positive mindset, proper workouts, adequate sleep, and healthy eating for his transformation.

Dt Amreen Sheikh, chief dietitian at KIMS Hospitals Thane, emphasized that weight loss is achieved through a combination of balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, sufficient sleep, and consistency. She stressed the importance of mental well-being, as a positive attitude helps people stay motivated, make better choices, and recover from setbacks.
