If you have the will and the dedication, losing weight with a full time job is absolutely possible.
Achieving fitness goals while managing a full-time job might seem overwhelming, but 34-year-old IT specialist Prasanna Kadlakh has shown that with unwavering commitment and consistent effort, it can become reality. In a detailed conversation with Times Now, Prasanna opened up about how he took charge of his health and underwent a dramatic transformation, shedding 30 kilograms over the course of a year.

The Pandemic’s Toll and a Turning Point

Like many others, Prasanna found himself slipping into unhealthy routines during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Overeating and prolonged inactivity became the norm, slowly affecting both his physical and mental health. Though he had begun his fitness journey at the age of 18, years passed without much visible progress—largely because of inadequate awareness regarding nutrition. It wasn’t until he teamed up with fitness coach Kumar Munde that things began to shift. With proper guidance, Prasanna adopted a calorie-deficit diet and started seeing real change.

From 89 to 59 Kilos: A Year of Dedication

Twelve months ago, Prasanna was at his heaviest, weighing 89 kg. Today, the scales show 59 kg—a stunning achievement made possible by adhering to a structured and consistent fitness plan. His daily routine included six strength training sessions each week, complemented by walking at least 10,000 steps every day. The steady progress kept him driven, even when life got demanding.


Overcoming Daily Hurdles

Juggling long work hours in the tech sector and taking care of a toddler required relentless discipline. Prasanna’s unpredictable work schedule and responsibilities as a parent added significant pressure, yet he refused to let those factors derail his momentum. He made fitness a non-negotiable part of his life.

Structured Plan That Delivered Results
Prasanna’s transformation stemmed from a focused, balanced approach:

  • Exercise Regimen: Six days of strength training per week.
  • Physical Activity: Daily walks ensuring a minimum of 10,000 steps.

A Model of Consistency and Focus

Prasanna Kadlakh’s journey demonstrates that no matter how packed your schedule may be, health can still be a priority. With the right mindset, guidance, and perseverance, extraordinary results are within reach—even amidst life’s chaos.
