Actor Ram Kapoor underwent a drastic transformation recently. In December 2024, the actor announced on social media that he had lost around 42 kgs leaving everyone baffled over his stunning weight loss transformation. Recently, the actor spoke about his weight loss journey and the obstacles that came his way. Ram also gave his views on the dieting industry and pointed out serious flaws with them. During a podcast, he also shared his schedule and routine.
Sharing where it all began, Ram said, “I started about a year and a half back and have managed to lose 55 kgs till now. Initially six months I was doing very well, but then I had a very bad fall, and my shoulder got screwed. I had to undergo surgery, followed by 8 months of physiotherapy. So, everything on the weight loss front stopped, it was those six months and another 6 months after that helped me transform. I never took Ozempic or any other drug for weight loss, neither did I do bariatric surgery, but does any of that matter? However, it is not wrong to do any of that because people do so to become a better version of themselves.”
Ram Kapoor further revealed how people accused him of losing weight through surgeries or supplements, he said, “People said that I did bariatric surgery, but then why would I hide it? What I did was, for 5 years before I achieved this I went on a massive weight loss journey and shed 30 kgs, then I put it back on again. This helped me learn what I should not do, then I would stay up all night and read books by experts, and watch podcasts and I figured that there are two kinds of people in this world, one who cares about their fitness and health, and people who don’t.”
Exposing the dieting industry, Ram also pointed out some mistakes people end up making. “The entire dieting industry which is worth more than 20 billion dollars is designed to make you fail, otherwise how will they exist, if you don’t keep going back to them? They will always tell you we will make you lose the weight, but they don’t tell you that you also have to change as a person after that to not put on the weight again. If you see athletes never focus on weight loss, they look at fat percentage, BMI, etc.”
Ram also revealed his schedule and pointed out that strength training and good sleep are key factors. “I now eat twice a day, once at around 10:30 in the morning and then around 6:30 in the evening. Nothing for 8 hours in the middle, or 16 hours after that. Then I do 45 minutes of cardio, and 45 minutes of strength training, and monitor how much liquid you are drinking or sleep you are getting.”
On the work front, Ram has appeared on popular TV shows like Bade Acche Lagte Hai, he was also seen on some OTT shows.
