4 min readNew DelhiMay 19, 2026 12:00 AM IST A lifestyle content creator recently opened up about the everyday habits that helped her lose around 14 kilos, dropping from 67 kg to 53 kg, while avoiding extreme diets or unsustainable restrictions. In a recent Instagram post, Srishti Krishnan shared that instead of chasing perfection, she focused on building routines she could realistically maintain long-term for weight loss. One of the key points she highlighted was learning to balance cravings rather than completely banning “junk food.” She explained, “If I wanted a burger, I ate the burger. Killing the craving completely always made me binge later. Eat it, enjoy it, move on.” She also stressed that movement became a daily non-negotiable, even if it was minimal on some days. “No pressure on hitting 10K steps. Some days it was 2K. Still showed up. That’s it,” she said, emphasising consistency over intensity. DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.

Why a 10-Hour Window Beats a Strict 16-Hour Fast

4 min readNew DelhiApr 17, 2026 11:00 PM IST Quashing popular opinion, nutritionist Amita Gadre recently stated that intermittent fasting is not a “stopgap” measure for weight loss. “Intermittent fasting, or the big notion, is that it is just skipping meals. It isn’t. It’s eating in a restricted manner. It is eating in a timely window, but you still need to be eating well and meeting all of your requirements,” Gadre noted in an Instagram post. She continued, “If you are looking at intermittent fasting as a stopgap to lose 5 kgs and get back to your old habits, please don’t. You are not doing yourself any favour. You are actually going to make it worse because the next time, you will find that you are losing less weight and regaining more. You will end up stuck in a yo-yo dieting situation, and that’s not a healthy place to be.” DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
