Ali Faraaz, Nutritionist: It was way back in 2010, where I cut my calories to 1100 a day with an intake of the bare proteins, carbs and vitamins required to maintain muscle mass. I would do 3000 skips a day along with 16-20 sets of abs and body weight exercises. I was trying to enter a modelling competition, so needed to lose weight. I lost 12 kilos in three and a half weeks! The problem with such diets is that it makes your body very weak. It is okay if you have a goal, and do it for a short period.
