Adnan in 2006, his heaviest best

Adnan was going through personal crisis for years now and this cycle for reaching out to food for comfort and then getting depressed thus eating more, resulted in him weighing more than 206 kilos at that time.

His now heavy body had a huge impact on his health,

Walking

Adnan had to use a walker to help him get around.

He says that he couldn’t walk 5 steps at a time without resting.

His knees, unable tobear the weight of the body gave up.

In 2005 his knees developed Lymhedema or fluid retention in the knees which required a surgery and had him bedridden for almost 3 months.

Sleeping

Because of his increasing weight Adnan couldn’t breathe in the lying down position.

When he did lie down he needed pillows to help him stretch his legs and needed help getting in and out of his bed.

Due to extra fat in his body, whenever he lied down the fat pushed into his lungs causing sleep apnea which robbed him of restful sleep.

Finally he had to be content in resting on the sofa; but his blood vessels had trouble pumping the blood back to the heart and he suffered from fluid retention in his legs.

His all time hits include ‘Kabhi toh nazar milao’ A R Rahman’s ‘Udi, udi, udi’ as well as the hummable ‘thodi toh lift kara de.’ But along with the accolades, it was his weight which got a lot of attention from the media.

And when Adnan emerged fitter, slicker and minus 130 kilos, the world wanted to know how he managed to do it.

With radical diet changes, dedicated time off work, he has managed to pull it off in just one year.
