In the clip, Agarwal says, “When we talk about fat loss, a lot of you are convinced that having a good metabolic rate works the best. I've seen people who take 8-10 glasses of green tea, apple cider vinegar, different concoctions and eat after every two hours. But all of this alone will not work. You have to do your strength training, build your muscles to decrease fat percentage.” The health expert adds, “I promise, once you start building muscles, the fat percentage will automatically come down.”

A while back, the nutritionist also spoke on dismissing the restrictive diet and choosing something sustainable instead. “Things we go wrong on while planning to lose weight. Yo-yo effect. Following a restrictive diet plan is never sustainable. You end up craving a lot, demotivated to follow, and eventually give up,” she said.
