Some fitness stories hit differently because you can feel the grit behind them. Hyderabad’s Prudhvi Chowdary, a photographer who balances a demanding consulting career, decided six months ago that he was done feeling stuck in his own body. What followed was a full lifestyle overhaul, not just a drop on the weighing scale. He turned discipline into a daily ritual, rebuilt his confidence, and eventually shed 20 kilos. His transformation has now gone viral after he opened up about the exact habits that helped him get there.
Prudhvi Chowdary recently took to X to talk about his six-month transformation, where he lost 20 kilos and, more importantly, found a renewed sense of purpose. He shared that this journey wasn’t only about weight loss. For him, it was about rebuilding confidence, staying disciplined, and pushing himself mentally and physically.
To help others who might be starting from a similar place, Prudhvi posted the exact 14 habits that shaped his routine. He began by cutting out sugar entirely, choosing monk fruit sweetener whenever he needed an alternative. He avoided maida, biryani, sweets, and ice cream, keeping his meals clean and predictable. A strong workout structure helped him stay consistent: 45 minutes of cardio paired with 45 minutes of strength training every day.
Protein became a priority in every meal at around 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. He made sure to drink 3 litres of water daily and swapped random snacking for 500 grams of cut fruits. A small but steady intake of dry fruits — two walnuts and five almonds — became part of his routine as well.
His meal timings were fixed. Lunch before 12:30 and dinner by 7 in the evening helped him stay aligned with his goals. He slept by 9:30 and woke up at 5:30, giving his body enough rest and structure. Breakfast was non-negotiable and usually included two dosas or three idlis, three egg whites, and a cup of milk coffee without sugar.
Lunch stayed simple with 120 grams of rice, vegetables or non-veg curry, and 100 grams of curd. Dinner was equally consistent with 250 grams of tandoori or grilled chicken. To keep track of everything, he logged his intake on the Healthify app, which helped him stay accountable.
Prudhvi ended his post with a short message to anyone waiting for the perfect moment to begin. He urged people to start today, get moving, and commit to their own transformation journey.
