This Man Had Biryani Thrice A Day For
2 Whole Months And Managed To Lose
Weight. Unbelievable
 
If someone told you that you could lose weight despite having biryani thrice a day, you would laugh
and call him/her a fool. Right? Well, then what would you say to 23­year­old Hyderabad lad Nishanth
Appari who has done just that! Don't believe us? Have a look for yourself:
 
Can't believe your eyes, right? We couldn't either. So, what's the catch, you wonder. There definitely
has to be one. Well, the catch is that there isn't any. Nishanth ate chicken biryani thrice a day for 50
days straight and did not gain a single pound. On the contrary, as you can see, he now has a
washboard stomach!
In an exclusive interview with ScoopWhoop, Nishanth shares the secret behind his diet, why he
decided to follow it and the results. 
 
The purpose
"Don't be too hard on yourself. Giving in to your guilty pleasures once in a while is absolutely okay,"
says Appari.

Of course, he did! The workout consisted mainly of compound movements mostly for the upper body.
"I hardly trained my legs during the experiment," he shared.  Nishanth says after a few days of starting
the diet, he craved for more junk food and finally gave in to the guilt. So basically, he ended up having
a lot of junk food as well. 
 
But didn't he get bored? And what was the point
Nishanth had biryani again a week after the experiment ended and still loves his biryani. About the
purpose of the experiment, he says, "I did not do this experiment to show that you can survive on junk
food alone and to throw away all the healthy food! I would still advise everyone to eat healthy food to
avoid any deficiencies. However, the whole point of the experiment was to show you that the fear of
eating certain foods is unfounded. I ate total junk and still lost weight. You certainly are going to be
okay eating junk food every now and then."
 
Nishanth's fitness mantra
Nishanth has deduced from the experiment that quantity matters over quality. He says, "One can put
on weight even by eating the healthiest food in excess and lose weight even after eating the most
unhealthy food."
