Tanmay Bhat is 6 ft 3 inches (1.78 m; in meter;) tall and weighs over 85 Kg (187 lbs;). He wear glasses and weighs more than usual.
He did go through GYM training from Ranveer Allahbadia and lost over 100 Kg.
According to Ranveer,
- He went on a gradual caloric deficit. Cut calories VERY gradually – cut about 200/day every week. Example: Week 1- 3000/day. Week 2 – 2800/day. Week 3 – 2600/day. You should NEVER crash diet unless you want to lose muscle.
- Went on a high protein diet (backed by heavy amounts of hydration). He’s 6’3 and was consuming between 180-220 grams of protein every day. Overweight people can build muscle even in a caloric deficit — IF they eat a lot of protein. Burn fat + build muscle together.
- Lifted like a beast — Deadlifts, squats, bench presses, overhead presses. It’s amazing what heavy lifting can do for a human being’s body. Unfortunately, India still believes that weight training is unhealthy. This man is a living, breathing example of the power of weights.
