Hritik Yadav: Can't look at myself unfit, that is my motivation to stay fit

Hritik Yadav, who is currently seen in Apollena – Sapno Ki Unchi Udann, managed to lose six kilograms in a week to prepare for his character. Being a foodie, that was difficult for him, but he kept himself motivated throughout the process and was able to do it without even going to the gym.
He said, "Shedding six kgs in a week is definitely a significant challenge, and mentally preparing for it requires a lot of determination and focus. But I knew the area I had to work on. I am a big foodie, so I just controlled my cravings. I have a sweet tooth, and my weight used to increase because of that. So in that duration, I stopped eating sweets, carbs, etc. I just ate salads and proteins. I used to eat only the amount that my body needed for energy."
"I had a little weight, and as they say, if you fast, your body converts the stored fat into energy. So that helped me in losing weight, and secondly, staying disciplined with my diet while also being kind to myself helped me stay on track," he added.
He confessed that his metabolism is pretty good, and as a result, it's not very difficult for him to shed a couple of kilos. However, he admitted that keeping a check on his sugar cravings was the most difficult part.
He said, "My metabolism is great; I can put on weight easily and lose it quickly. But my sweet tooth was a distraction, and to overcome that, I did a few things that worked for me. Like I drank a lot of water and had a big bowl of fruit in the morning and evening."
Hritik is self-driven and self-motivated and shared that his unfit body pushes him to stay fit. He said, "I can't look at myself as unfit, and that is my motivation to stay fit. I can't see a belly bulge, and if I notice something like that, I start taking care of myself and my food habits."
The young actor also went on to say that losing the six kilograms did impact his character's on-screen presence.
"With the weight gain, I was looking older than my age. And after that, I was looking younger because I had become lean. So it did enhance my character, and I received good feedback," Hritik ended.
