If you are a Bollywood nut, by now you must know that 2 States actor Arjun Kapoor was quite obese before he made his debut. The actor took about four years to lose all the excess weight and get a fit and ripped physique. But lately, the actor was seen again in an obese avatar. Don't worry, he did not go back to his old self in real life, the actor did it for an ad. Arjun is endorsing a liquor brand for which he's donned about 20 different looks including that of an obese man, a balding old guy and many others.
The ad is still not out and we can't wait to see what the actor has to offer in his unique style. It is hard to recognise him in the image where he is seen eating a tub of popcorn with a big belly protruding from his T-shirt. We hope the actor does not go back to his fat days and stays fit and healthy always. His Gunday co-star Ranveer Singh will also be seen in the ad.
Arjun Kapoor's weight loss journey
Arjun Kapoor lost a lot of weight 50 kg in the past 4 years to be exact. According to Kapoor, the first thing people need to realise is that it s not going to happen overnight. If you need to lose a lot of weight, there is no quick fix.
The actor also explained how it s extremely important to eat right when one s on a weight loss regime. So what did Arjun Kapoor do? He gave up all junk food, swapped rice for quinoa, a South American grain which is a good source of protein. He d load up on chicken as well. His day usually started with a toast and 4-6 egg whites with an egg yolk and he had a protein shake after working out. Lunch usually comprised of roti, sabzi, dal and chicken. Understandably he preferred bajra roti to atta roti because they re more filling and have higher fibre content. For dinner, he d only have protein like fish or chicken and stayed away from carbs. He also avoided all sweets and drank lots of black coffee instead.
Losing weight in the early days is easy with cardio and weights, but the last lap can be really tough. To get over the hump, he went for the Crossfit regime, which helped him knock off the last 5 kg. The CrossFit regime is a high-intensity, core-conditioning workout which usually lasts for 20 minutes.
