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

Former cricketer Salil Ankola, now 58, has successfully lost 15 kilograms through a combination of diet, exercise, and a positive outlook on life. His wife and nutritionist, Dr. Ria Ankola, shares a photo comparing his before and after transformation, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Amreen Sheikh, a chief dietitian at KIMS Hospitals Thane, explains that lasting weight loss results come from a balanced mix of proper nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and consistency over time.

Mental well-being also plays a crucial role, as a positive attitude keeps individuals motivated and helps them make better choices. Sheikh notes that slow, sustainable weight loss is the healthiest approach, avoiding the potential pitfalls of crash diets or strict regimes that can lead to nutritional deficiencies and regained weight. A personalized, expert-guided plan is always the safest way to achieve long-lasting results.
