Aamir Khan dropped 18 kgs on an anti-inflammatory diet
Aamir Khan said he did not intend to lose weight. However, to combat migraines, he made certain changes to his eating habits. The outcome? He unintentionally lost a significant amount of weight. “It happened by default. The new diet I am following for health reasons is working like magic for me,” Khan said.
He emphasised that he “undertook the diet for the migraines”. “It is an anti-inflammatory diet. I not only lost 18 kgs, but my migraines have also reduced considerably,” he added.
Aamir Khan’s transformation for Dangal had taken the internet by storm. He initially weighed about 97 kgs with 38% body fat. To play the younger version of Mahavir Singh Phogat, he lost nearly 29 kgs to come down to 68 kg with 9.6% body fat.
What Is An Anti-Inflammatory Diet?
Foods that are thought to lessen chronic inflammation in the body—a condition associated with problems including migraines, joint pain, and exhaustion—are the main emphasis of an anti-inflammatory diet. Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats like olive oil are usually given priority, whereas ultra-processed foods, refined sweets, and products rich in trans fats are restricted.
Although Aamir has not shared the details of his meal plan, his experience indicates that the dietary change has produced significant health benefits in addition to noticeable weight loss.
Aamir Khan on staying fit
During an interview with The Lallantop, Aamir Khan said that you “should not” overtrain yourself to achieve fitness. “I feel I’ve done a lot of what’s called overtraining. I used to work out for 3 to 3.5 hours daily, and it was too much. You shouldn’t do it,” Khan said.
“It’s a balance of rest, diet, and workout that one should follow for good health,” he added.
