At 145 kilos, Sainath wasn’t just carrying excess weight; he was lugging around layers of self-doubt, harsh voices, and a belief that transformation was a fairytale. Now, after shedding more than 50 kilos and glowing with renewed confidence, this 25-year-old digital marketer in the corporate real estate space has quite the story to tell—one that is equal parts resilience, sibling wisdom, mirror therapy, and poetic revenge through muscle gain.
The Weight of the Past (and 145 Kgs)
It wasn’t Sainath’s first attempt at weight loss. He had already been through seven rounds of trying to shed the kilos, each one ending with disappointment. “I had completely lost hope,” he admits.

From the mirror that no longer reflected defeat, but progress. “That was all I needed,” he says. “Consistency and willpower were my mantra.”
The Comeback Diet
There was no fancy, faddish detox. There were no overnight miracles. Just disciplined eating, regular workouts, and the stubborn belief that setbacks are just pitstops, not endpoints. “Oh, I’ve done it all,” Sainath laughs—“emotional eating, binge spirals, all of it.” But the trick, he says, is not to pretend these moments didn’t happen. “Acknowledge them, get up, and keep going.”
Anger? Great Pre-Workout Fuel
One of Sainath’s most powerful tools? Rage—rechanneled. “Never ignore what people say to hurt you,” he advises. “Invest your anger into your reps, your run, your meal plan.” In other words, let your critics eat their words while you eat clean. Read More
