Hard work pays off if you’re patient enough to see it through. A senior Delhi police officer was recently felicitated by the police commissioner Sanjay Arora for shedding around 46 kg Weight in eight months.
Weighing 130 kilograms, Deputy Commissioner of Police Metro Jitendra Mani faced multiple health issues. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and increased cholesterol levels were some of the ailments putting the officer’s health at constant risk.
In order to bring about a change in his life, Mani decided to drop this extra weight for which he started making small changes to his lifestyle. He started a healthy diet with a minimum of 15,000 steps on a daily basis.
Following a strict diet, in just eight months, he lost 12 inches from his waist and brought down his cholesterol levels by a fifth. “When I decided to make a change, I set a goal to walk 4.5 lakh steps every month. In the last 8 months, I walked over 32 lakh steps,” said DCP Mani, who now weighs 84 kilograms.
The Delhi cop shared how he lost a whopping 46 kgs in just eight months. The cop was on a strict no-carb diet. He took only fruit salads and soups. He replaced aerated drinks with coconut water and buttermilk and green vegetables, and grams with chapati became his staple lunch. For dinner, he used to have only vegetable soup.
His efforts were appreciated by Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora who presented him with a commendation certificate on the behalf of the police department at a ceremony attended by over 90,000 police personnel.
The officer also credited his superiors and colleagues for their constant support in motivating him to keep working on losing weight.
