  "summary": "Dr G Vikas Naik, a psychiatrist and therapist, has shared his incredible transformation journey, revealing that he lost 33 kg, going from 103 kg to 70 kg. On Instagram, he wrote about the \"hardest part\" of the journey, which was deciding not to quit on himself. Naik emphasized that the transformation is about gaining strength, discipline, and self-respect, rather than just losing weight. A consultant dietitian and fitness expert, Garima Goyal, explained that losing 33 kg can lead to significant improvements in metabolic health markers, such as blood glucose, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels. However, Goyal stressed the importance of preserving muscle mass during weight loss by incorporating adequate protein intake, resistance training, and sufficient recovery. Goyal also highlighted the necessity of a comprehensive approach to weight loss, involving dietary changes, physical activity, sleep, and behavioural strategies, rather than solely relying on exercise.",
