There is 'n' number of such definitions, and each of them defines the situation in which
people feel locked. They feel helpless. As an obesity surgeon, I meet a lot of obese patients
daily, and on average, I treat 10-15 patients daily who come to my center from various
parts of the country and world. This anguish I can feel and see in everyone's eyes and
stories. But as a doctor, I need to see it as a medical condition.

              Obesity is defined as a condition in
         which Body Mass Index (BMI) is greater than 30.

HOW COMMON IS
OBESITY IN INDIA?

Obesity has reached a condition in which
it can be called as an epidemic affecting
millions of people.

India has an alarmingly high number of
overweight and obese people, around 9.8
million Indian men are overweight and
20 million Indian women are obese.

If such a trend continues, then by 2025
global obesity prevalence will be 18% in
men and 21% in women.

A higher prevalence of obesity can be seen in urban areas as a result of a sedentary
lifestyle and a decrease in the levels of physical activity. People spend more of their time
sitting in front of screens and eating junk.

As a result, they are moving towards obesity which is not only a cosmetic disorder but also
a disease.

                                                                                               06

TOP-SECRET BEHIND
THE TRANSFORMATION
FROM FAT TO FIT

'Secret' this word itself increases curiosity. Isn't it?

There are a lot of transformation stories that we see on social media and in real life. But
how do they achieve the result remains a mystery. Unlocking transformation is not an easy
job for anyone. Weight is gained over the years when you were busy with something else
and neglected the gains. So losing weight can also not be a miracle that happens in a
moment or a day. It is a gradual process.

Most of the transformation stories you see revolve around different types of diets,
workouts, and surgical procedures. And you keep wondering what is best for you. Am I
right?

Just answer one question to yourself before we move further -

?         How many diets, workouts, or other pieces
          of advice you have tried till now for weight loss?

Now, are you curious to know the secret behind every transformation?
Do you want to know what went wrong with you while making efforts?
I know your answer is 'YES'. Here is the secret - Calorie Deficit

A caloric deficit is any shortage in the number of calories consumed relative to the
number of calories required for maintenance of current body weight (energy
homeostasis). A deficit can be created by reducing input/calories consumed or by
burning more calories in a day.

Ultimate body transformation from Fat to Fit is based on this simple theory, but it has
multiple factors or hurdles. Let's first understand the calorie deficit in detail.

                                                                                              07
UNLOCK TRANSFORMATION - DR. MOHIT BHANDARI - Mohak Bariatrics and Robotics
WHAT IS CALORIE DEFICIT?

Calories are basic units of energy that are obtained from foods and beverages you
intake, and when you burn more calories than you intake- you achieve a calorie deficit.
The calorie you burn each day while doing tasks is referred to as calorie expenditure. It
includes the following components-

1
      Energy expenditure while resting-
      This refers to those calories your body uses while
      you are resting or sleeping. Calories at this time
      are used for functions like breathing, healing, and
      blood circulation- necessities to keep you alive.

2     Thermic effect of food-
      This includes the calories your body spends while
      and after eating- digesting, absorbing, and
      metabolizing the food.

3     Energy expenditure while doing any activity-
      This includes the energy that you spend while
      doing any kind of physical activity- sports,
      walking, exercising, or just doing household chores.

If you are consuming fewer calories than your body spends to support each of these
components, you put your body into a calorie deficit condition. Doing this consistently for
a long time results in weight loss. In contrast to this, if you consume more calories than you
spend, you put your body in a calorie surplus condition.

       “What I know for sure is this: The big secret in life is that there is no big secret.
       Whatever your goal for this year is, you can get there - as long as you're willing
       to be honest with yourself about the preparation and work involved. There are
       no back doors, no free rides. There's just you, this moment, and a choice.”
       - Oprah Winfrey (American Host)

       So I completely agree with what Oprah has said. The secret is that there is no
       big secret. If you are preparing your mind for making the choice to bring a
       difference then read the next chapter.

                                                                                                 08

Ways to achieve a Calorie Deficit
You can achieve a calorie deficit either by consuming fewer calories or by spending more
calories. Both the ways take your body in a calorie deficit condition and help in weight-loss.

However, it is easy to take care of your diet than to exercise regularly. It is sustainable to
achieve a calorie deficit condition by diet, rather than exercise alone. You might not have time,
energy, or enough motivation to exercise consistently.

Exercise doesn’t let you burn as many calories as you eat. A person tends to eat more in a day,
it is easier to consume 600 calories in a day than to spend in an hour of physical activity.
Nonetheless, it is advised to engage in any kind of physical activity and do vigorous exercise
daily for overall health.

WAYS TO TRANSFORM

Are you ready for the transformation? Most people would say 'yes'. But here I would like to
bring into your notice that this would not just be a physical transformation from Fat to Fit.
In a weight loss journey, you have to go through mental, psychological, emotional,
habitual, social, and physical transformation. This demands a complete lifestyle change.
You can't embrace transformation by continuing the same habits of -

   Socializing with a glass of alcohol every day

   Keeping yourself awake all night and stressing the body

   Thinking the same depressing thoughts and releasing the stress hormone - 'cortisol’

   Eating mindlessly and not taking care of the required nutrients

   Not treating your own body with love and care

   Sitting on a chair all day in the office without taking breaks in every 1-2 hours

As Robin Sharma says, “Yes, your transformation will be hard. Yes, you will feel frightened,
messed up, and knocked down. Yes, you’ll want to stop. Yes, it’s the best work you’ll ever do.”

So unlocking transformation would not be that easy if you don't prepare your mind. The three
ultimate ways to transform your body from fat to fit are - Diet, Workout, and Obesity Surgery.

                DIET
         Nutrition plays a prominent role in transforming
         your body, whether you are looking to shed some
         fat or build muscles. A proper healthy diet aids in
         weight loss and leads you towards a healthier
         lifestyle. According to statistics, diet plays a major
         role- more than intense physical activity too.
         If your diet and nutrition are not proper, exercise
         and other things won’t work for you. Make sure
         you are taking regular healthy meals and in a
         defined amount. Optimize your diet for maximum
         results in minimum time.

                                                                                                  11
WORKOUT
Working out not only helps to transform your body but
also helps in keeping the other diseases away-
Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases, Cancer, and
Hypertension. Any kind of physical exercise can have
benefits in the long run.

Exercise is another secret of Japanese people for a
healthier and longer life. They don’t even get retired,
there is no such concept in their lives. Instead, they keep
on doing physical exercise and any kind of activity that
keeps their body working.

Obesity surgery, often referred to as Bariatric surgery makes the size of your
stomach small by making incisions in it. A person tends to feel full in a lesser
amount of food after the Surgery. If diet and exercise are followed
consistently after the surgery, the weight loss achieved stays for a lifetime.

                                                                                   12

On the path of transformation
through diet -

     than once to win it.

WORK       WORKOUT
Workout helps in unlocking the transformation by increasing the calories burnt in a day. But
this works mostly along with diet. Its a slow process and works usually for young people.

Workout increases metabolism and keeps your body active and lets the blood flowing in
your body. Including any kind of physical activity in your daily routine not only helps in weight
loss but also in keeping the heart and lungs healthy and working efficiently. It’s been wisely
said that you should never quit working out, even if you are retired.

Constraints of Workout
Sticking to an exercise routine is not easy, it requires a lot of dedication, time, patience, and
efforts. Exercise comes with its pros and cons- it can feel like boredom and cause injuries if
not done in the right way. Some of the most common constraints (or excuses) of exercising -

    You are short of time

   You think exercise is a boring activity

   You feel tired to exercise after work

   Lack of motivation

   You are not an athletic

   You are afraid of injuries that come along with it

   Elderly people can't do many exercises with a
   heavyweight body

   You are self-conscious of how you look while working out

   Overweight people have weak bones and thus,
   doing too much cardio can cause them permanent joint injuries

   People with overweight and co-morbidities can't workout as
   their body doesn't allow them and they get tired easily

       Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again
       and expecting different results.
       —Albert Einstein

Exactly, when choosing the path of exercising for transformation, you need to be
consistent but only at progression. You can't do the same exercise with the same
intensity over and over to expect results out of it. So, choose wisely.

                                                                                                    16
OBESIT   OBESITY
         SURGERY
When we talk about unlocking transformation then, obesity surgery is the top and the most
reliable method. As I mentioned earlier, transformation is not just about shape and size, it is
about the overall health, and as far as results speak, obesity surgery improves the entire
functioning of the body.

Obesity Surgery or Bariatric Surgery is a metabolic procedure that helps you to
lose weight drastically and improves the metabolic functions of the body.
There are two types of bariatric procedures - Restrictive & Malabsorptive.
Restrictive bariatric surgery reduces the size of the stomach. This limits the
amount of food that can be consumed and creates a feeling of fullness.
Malabsorptive bariatric surgery limits the amount of nutrients the body
absorbs by bypassing a portion of the small intestine.

Bariatric Surgery is the ultimate secret towards your body
transformation if your BMI is 30 and above. People having
BMI 27 and above along with co-morbidities like type 2
diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, knee pain, asthma,
hypertension have no other choice of reducing weight and
getting back to normal life. Their transformation through diet
and workout is way more difficult and risky.

Most of the patients who come to me have already tried diet
and exercise and they are quite confident that it doesn't work
for them. Also, most of them have lost hope. They think they
will never be able to have a fit body again. I am happy to offer
them hope and transformation that medical science has
made possible and easily accessible.

                                          Bariatric surgery is no more a risky surgery to go
                                          through. It is a common procedure, and in a country
                                          like India which is the third most obese country in the
                                          world, it has become a way more reliable. I have
                                          treated 15000+ obese patients and offered them 50-
                                          80% reduction in their current weight (at the time of
                                          surgery). If you want sure-shot safe transformation
                                          in just 90 days, go for bariatric surgery.

                                                                                                    17
Bariatric Surgery Benefits
Severely obese patients find themselves constantly struggling with weight and often feel
like they are trapped in a weight gain cycle. You might have adopted various types of healthy
diets for weight loss- only to see your weight continue to increase in the end.

It has been reported by The National Institutes of Health that those individuals who are
badly affected by Obesity are resistant to making any lifestyle changes like consuming
fewer calories, weight loss programs, exercising regularly, and all the traditional ones. They
feel nothing is going to benefit them.

Bariatric Surgery is the only secret that can take your body towards transformation from FAT
to FIT in just 90 days.

   Bariatric Surgery combined with a detailed
   treatment plan, acts as an effective tool in
   providing you with sustainable weight loss and
   increased quality of health.

   Bariatric Surgery has been shown to improve
   co-morbidities like High blood pressure, Type-2
   Diabetes, Asthma, Sleep Apnea, Osteoarthritis,
   Knee Pain, Alzheimer's, and some cancers.

   Significant weight loss achieved by bariatric
   surgery paves the way for many other things
   like increased confidence, better personal
   relationships, improvement in social relations,
   and better self-esteem levels.

   Several studies have found that those
   individuals who had severe obesity and went
   for Bariatric Surgery, have a lower risk of death
   as compared to those obese people who did
   not go for the surgery. Life expectancy
   improves.

   Depression and anxiety levels seem to have
   drastically reduced after having Bariatric
   Surgery.

   At Mohak Bariatrics and Robotic Center, I have successfully transformed the lives of
   many people through Bariatric Surgery. Offering a healthier and peaceful life to obese
   patients is my mission.

                                                                                                 18
OUR PATIENT STORIES

 One of our patients, Ms. Preetika Zaweri
 had diabetes, knee problem, and blood
 pressure along with obesity. All the
 problems are gone in just 90 days post-
 surgery. She lost 22 kgs in the first 3
 months and the weight loss journey
 continued. She was a dance teacher but
 because of obesity, she could not dance.
 Bariatric surgery gave her another
 chance to start dancing in her 60s.

                               Another patient, Mr. Praveen Kothari,
                               undergone Bariatric surger y and has
                               lost 60 kgs after the procedure. He was fond
                               of horse riding but due to severe obesity, he
                               faced a lot of difficulties in pursuing his
                               hobby. After the procedure, he could continue
                               horse riding and wear any clothing of his
                               choice. Mr. Praveen is extremely happy with
                               his after surgery life and continues to thank

  Mr. Ramesh Miglani, who lost 55 kgs,
  faced severe problems due to obesity. He
  had breathing issues and after opting for
  Bariatric Surgery, he could not only
  breathe easily but also took part in a
  marathon and completed it in time.

                                                                               19

Bariatric surgery (or weight loss surgery) includes a variety of procedures performed on
people who have excess body weight. Procedures are based on either restrictive, mal-
absorptive, or a combination of both methods. Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size
of the stomach with a gastric band or through the removal of a portion of the stomach or by
resecting and re-routing the small intestine to a small stomach pouch. Sleeve Gastrectomy,
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Mini Gastric Bypass, Single Incision Lap Sleeve, Banded Gastric
Bypass, Duodenal Jejunal Bypass, and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty are the commonly
performed procedures at Mohak Bariatrics & Robotics.
