Do You Wish To Lose 15 Kgs In 4 Months? Read This Inspiring Story!


Weight loss is a long process, and the process becomes tougher if you have health issues such as high blood pressure and fatty liver. Though there are some inspiring stories who, despite all odds, make their health better by reaching their fitness goals, and one such story is of Dr. Mukul Kumar Bhatnagar, who is an associate professor of Cardiology at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. Even after being diagnosed with high BP and fatty liver, Mukul, with his dedication, managed to lose 15 kgs weight in just 4 months. Mukul Kumar was diagnosed with Pott's spine (Tuberculosis of the spine) in the year 2015. Mukul had to spend a lot of time on bed rest before getting an anti-tubercular treatment in July 2016. This was the time when his weight went from 78 kgs to 85 kgs. With a lot of work pressure, Mukul couldn't even notice when his weight touched the 90 kgs mark.   Already struggling with high BP and high cholesterol levels, Mukul was hell-bent on not taking any medication, which ultimately paved the way for his weight loss journey. Mukul Bhatnagar followed intermittent fasting and a workout plan to shed 15 kgs in 4 months.
