Weight loss journeys are rarely easy, and no two stories look the same. For some, it’s about discipline, for others, it’s about patience, but for everyone, it’s about consistency. Saachi Pai’s transformation from 99 kilos to 59 kilos is proof that slow, steady effort can bring extraordinary results. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she shared how she went from XXL to XS, not with shortcuts or extreme diets, but with small, sustainable steps that added up over time.
Refusing to give up
Saachi revealed that her journey didn’t begin with strict calorie counting or intense workouts. It started with something as simple as a 20-minute walk, which she gradually built up to 60 minutes a day, spread out over the day to hit 10,000 steps. Alongside movement, she focused on building one balanced meal at a time—starting with breakfast by adding protein. “This isn’t just about sizes,” she wrote. “It’s about a girl who refused to give up on herself. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But consistently.” She also revealed how she avoided looking at the mirror, not because she did not care, but because she believed change was not possible.
What did her diet look like?
She also opened up about her diet philosophy, clarifying that the type of food she ate didn’t change drastically while losing weight versus maintaining it—only the quantities did. “Someone who is XXL will need more food than someone who is a smaller size. But during weight loss, the XXL person may be in a big deficit, so the portions can end up looking very similar,” she explained. At her heaviest, Saachi was eating about 1,750–1,800 calories a day. Now, her intake varies depending on activity: around 1,800 on super active days, 1,650–1,700 on workout days, and 1,450–1,500 on rest days.
What is her workout regimen?
When it came to fitness, Saachi started with home workouts for the first 5–6 months. As she grew stronger, she moved to the gym to lift heavier weights and eventually added Pilates. Today, her routine is a mix of weight training, Pilates, martial arts, and swimming, which keeps her workouts both challenging and enjoyable.
What does she prefer to eat after her fat-loss journey?
Saachi also shared glimpses of her meals to inspire others on the same journey. Breakfast often included an egg white wrap with avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and chicken. Another day’s highlight was spicy shrimp noodles made with rice noodles and colourful veggies like onions, bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage. She experimented with matcha while always keeping her hydration in check—three liters of water daily was non-negotiable. A comforting plate of dal rice with fish fry and salad also made its way into her food diary, proving that balance, not deprivation, was key to her success.
