The Science of Weight Loss 🎉 How I Fixed High Cholesterol & Fatty Liver Naturally
By Dr. Prasoon
You might know me as the doctor who gives health advice on YouTube, telling you what to eat and how to stay fit. But let me be honest with you—I wasn’t always the picture of health.
To tell you exactly how my weight loss journey began, I have to take you back to 2014, to a tourist spot in Wayanad called the Edakkal Caves.
If you have ever been there, you know that reaching the caves requires a bit of a trek up a steep, rocky path with many steps. I was there with my friends and family, excited for the climb. But halfway up, reality hit me hard.
While others were chatting and walking up effortlessly, I was gasping for air. My heart was pounding against my chest, sweat was pouring down, and I had to stop every few minutes just to catch my breath. I was panting uncontrollably.
I was a young doctor. I was supposed to be the one promoting health. Yet, there I was, struggling to climb a flight of stairs that people older than me were navigating with ease.
It was a humiliating moment, but it was also the wake-up call I desperately needed.
At that time, the numbers on my medical reports were just as scary as my lack of stamina:
- Body Weight: Over 84 kg (which is obese for my height).
- Diagnosis: Dyslipidemia (High Cholesterol) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (Grade 1).
I was a classic example of the “Unhealthy Doctor.” I realized that if I didn’t take control of my own biology, I was heading toward a future of diabetes, hypertension, and lifelong medication.
So, I made a decision. I didn’t join a fancy gym. I didn’t hire a celebrity trainer. I didn’t starve myself. Instead, I used my medical knowledge to design a scientific, sustainable approach to healing my body.
The result?
In one year, I lost 19 kg.
But more importantly, my next blood test showed normal cholesterol levels, and my ultrasound confirmed that my Fatty Liver was completely reversed—all without taking a single pill for it.
In this article, I am going to share the exact blueprint of how I did it. I want to show you how I fixed my metabolism and how you can do the same using my Weight Loss Protocol.
The “Why” 🤔 It’s Not Just About Looking Good
As a doctor practicing in Kerala, I see the same story play out in my clinic every single day. A patient walks in with a lab report, looking worried, and I prescribe them medication to bring their numbers down.
I have written hundreds of prescriptions for Statins—the standard medicine used to lower cholesterol. It is a highly effective drug, and for many, it is a lifesaver. But back then, standing on the edge of that diagnosis, I felt a cold shiver run down my spine.
I realized I was staring at a future where Statins were going to be a permanent fixture in my own medicine cabinet. At such a young age, the thought of being dependent on daily medication for the rest of my life was terrifying.
The “Fatty Liver” Trap
It wasn’t just the cholesterol. My ultrasound scan showed Grade 1 Fatty Liver.
In our society, there is a huge misconception. When people hear “liver disease,” they immediately think of alcohol. But I wasn’t a drinker. I was suffering from Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
This is becoming an epidemic in Kerala. Why? Because our traditional diet, while delicious, can be incredibly heavy on carbohydrates (rice, tapioca, wheat) and sugar. When we combine this high-carb intake with a sedentary lifestyle (sitting in offices or clinics all day), our liver starts storing that excess energy as visceral fat.
The Decision to Fight Naturally
I knew the medical textbooks inside out. I knew the protocols. But I also knew that lifestyle diseases require lifestyle solutions, not just chemical ones.
I didn’t want to just suppress the symptoms with pills. I wanted to fix the root cause. I wanted to reverse my condition and reduce cholesterol naturally.
I realized that if I couldn’t heal myself, I had no right to preach health to my patients. That was the moment my mindset shifted. It wasn’t about looking good in a shirt anymore; it was about saving my own life.
The Strategy ✍️ How I Lost 19kg (Without the Gym)
Once I decided to take charge, I didn’t just jump into the first diet plan I found on Google. As a doctor, I treated my body like a laboratory. I experimented, I failed, and eventually, I found what worked.
Here are the three pillars that changed my life:
Pillar 1: Cracking the Diet Code (The Kerala Context)
I started by experimenting with popular global trends. I tried the Keto Diet and Intermittent Fasting (IF). While they had their benefits, I realized something important: strict Keto is incredibly difficult to sustain in a typical Malayali household where rice and tubers are the main course.
I didn’t want a “crash diet” that I would quit in a month. I needed a lifestyle.
So, I developed a system that blended the science of fasting with our local food culture.
- Modified Intermittent Fasting: I stopped grazing all day. I gave my body a 14-16 hour window of rest (fasting) to lower insulin levels and switch to fat-burning mode.
- The Plate Rule: I didn’t give up rice completely, but I drastically changed the ratios. Instead of a mountain of rice with a side of curry, my plate became 50% vegetables, 25% protein (Fish, Eggs, Chicken), and only 25% carbohydrates.
- Cutting the Hidden Sugars: I eliminated the bakery snacks and sugary tea that are staples in Kerala.
This customized low-carb, protein-rich approach became the foundation of what I now teach in my courses.
Pillar 2: Movement (My “Orbitrek” & NEAT)
I knew I wouldn’t stick to a gym membership. Between my clinic and my family, I didn’t have 2 hours to travel and work out.
So, I brought the gym home. I bought an Orbitrek Elite Elliptical Cross-trainer.
I made a commitment to myself: 30 minutes every single day. No excuses. Whether it was a holiday or I was tired, I hopped on that machine.
But 30 minutes of exercise isn’t enough if you sit for the other 23.5 hours. That’s when I discovered the power of NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis).
NEAT is basically the calories you burn by just living—walking, standing, taking the stairs, and doing chores. I made a conscious effort to stay active throughout the day, not just during my workout window.
Pillar 3: The Hidden Factors (Sleep & Supplements)
This was a realization that came later, but it was the missing piece of the puzzle. Initially, I thought cutting sleep to work more was “productive.” I was wrong.
Lack of sleep increases Cortisol (the stress hormone), which literally tells your body to store fat around your belly. I made 7 hours of sleep non-negotiable.
Additionally, to support my body’s repair process and fill nutritional gaps, I started using specific dietary supplements. I incorporated Omega-3 (Fish Oil) to help with my cholesterol and inflammation, along with essential vitamins to keep my energy levels high during this transformation.
The Results: More Than Just a Number on the Scale
It took me one full year of consistent effort. There were days when I wanted to eat that biryani or skip the workout, but I stuck to the plan. And the results spoke for themselves.
The physical change was obvious. I went from over 84 kg down to a healthy weight, losing a total of 19 kg. I was finally able to fit into clothes that had been sitting at the back of my wardrobe for years. My energy levels skyrocketed; the lethargy and breathlessness that haunted me at Edakkal Caves were gone.
But for a doctor, the real victory wasn’t in the mirror; it was in the lab reports.
I remember the day I got my follow-up test results.
- Lipid Profile: Completely normal. My cholesterol levels were back in the safe range.
- Ultrasound: My liver was clean. The Fatty Liver Disease was fully reversed.
- Blood Pressure: Stabilized without a single tablet.
I had successfully managed to avoid the lifetime sentence of daily medication.
More than the health benefits, there was a profound professional shift. There is a unique, deep satisfaction in being able to practice what you preach. Now, when I tell a patient to lose weight or change their diet, I am not just reading from a textbook. I am speaking from experience. I know the struggle, I know the hunger pangs, and I know exactly how to overcome them.
The Key Lesson:
This didn’t happen in 30 days. It took 12 months. The secret wasn’t intensity; it was consistency. Small, scientific changes done every single day yield results that last a lifetime.
Why You Might Be Failing at Weight Loss
If you are reading this, chances are you have tried to lose weight before. Maybe you lost a few kilos, only to gain them all back (and more) a few months later. This is called the “Yo-Yo Effect,” and it is incredibly frustrating.
But it is not entirely your fault. The modern world makes it very hard to succeed.
1. The Trap of Confusing Information
We live in the age of information overload. Open YouTube or Google, and search for “weight loss,” and you will be bombarded with contradicting advice.
- “Eat more fat to burn fat!” says the Keto expert.
- “Go vegan and cut out all fat!” says another.
- “Eat 6 meals a day!” vs “Starve for 16 hours!”
It is confusing, overwhelming, and frankly, exhausting. Who are you supposed to believe? “WhatsApp University” and unverified internet tips often do more harm than good.
2. The Trust Deficit: Whom Do You Follow?
Social media is full of influencers and self-proclaimed “coaches” showing off their abs. But looking fit and knowing human physiology are two very different things.
Many diet plans handed out by unqualified sources can be dangerous. They might help you drop weight quickly by starving you, but they can also crash your metabolism, cause hair loss, or damage your internal organs.
3. The Doctor’s Advantage
This is where medical guidance changes everything.
Weight loss isn’t just about “Calories In vs. Calories Out.” It is a complex biological process involving your hormones (insulin, cortisol, leptin), your liver function, your gut health, and your metabolic rate.
Isn’t it always better to get a doctor’s help?
When you treat weight loss as a medical therapy rather than a beauty trend, you prioritize safety. A doctor understands your blood reports. A doctor knows how a diet affects your kidneys or your blood pressure medication.
I succeeded because I didn’t rely on fads; I relied on medical science. I built a protocol that respects how the human body actually works.
How You Can Do This Too (The Solution)
The good news is, you don’t have to go to medical school or spend years experimenting on yourself to get these results. I have already done the hard work for you.
I took everything I learned from my medical training, combined it with the practical experience of my own 19kg weight loss journey, and packaged it into a system that works for regular people—especially for our Malayali lifestyle.
