The long hours of sitting at desks are leading to an increase in weight gain, which, if unchecked, may lead to serious health problems such as diabetes and heart disease, among other chronic conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acknowledging this issue, forward-thinking organizations are adopting an Employee-First philosophy. These companies recognize that their employees are their most valuable asset. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s been a heightened focus on investing in their health and happiness, especially after the pandemic. This commitment to employee wellness has yielded tangible benefits, including enhanced productivity, better attendance, and overall improved performance. And most importantly &#8211; a happy employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against this backdrop, a leading Indian Steel Major approached us for assistance in bolstering their employees\u2019 health. We were thrilled. We knew we could make a difference with <\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/fitterfly-weight-loss-program?utm_source=Organic&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=weightloss\">Fitterfly&#8217;s Weight Loss program<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><strong>72% Of Enrolled Members Completed the Program!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us tell you something very interesting! <\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average completion rate of most weight loss programs in India is just around 30-40%. But with this batch, <\/span><b>Fitterfly touched a remarkable 72% of completion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The members who completed the program lost an average of 4kg, with some losing as much as <\/span><b>9.5kg<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17920 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-01-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"426\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-01-2.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-01-2-300x213.webp 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/426;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-01-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-01-2.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-01-2-300x213.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But let us tell you, the <\/span><b>program&#8217;s success was more than just about kilograms or centimeters lost<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It also enhanced the participants&#8217; lives, their fitness levels, and a positive mental health shift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s see how our program did this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>1\/3rd Drop in Calories Consumed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diet and nutrition are at the heart of any Weight Loss Program. But it\u2019s also the most challenging to follow. But a good diet plan can change that if it genuinely caters to a person\u2019s food preference without making them sacrifice anything they love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why Fitterfly\u2019s Nutrition Intervention personalizes the diet plan for every member because every individual\u2019s food preference and weight loss goals are unique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before our Nutrition Intervention, we saw that most members were <\/span><b>stress-eating<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>had poor eating habits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They mainly ate high-calorie cereal-based meals all the time (so most of their meals had only rice, roti, millet, etc). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>90-95 % of them hardly ate fruits, needed more protein, and lacked fiber intake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All this led to more sugar cravings.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To top this, the frequency of eating out was at least 2-3 times a week, which made junk eating go up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all this, <\/span><b>how did we reduce their calorie intake from 1770 kcal to 1207 kcal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Here you go!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We started with the basics &#8211; enriching their main meals by increasing their fibre and protein consumption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, we gave options to replace their existing cereals with more nutritious ones (like red poha, oats).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, we increased their protein and fibre intake through dal, vegetables, salads, and fruits.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, we told them to replace store-bought snacks with healthy protein-based snacks like nuts, seeds, eggs, sprouts, dals, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fourth, we encouraged them to start exercising and reduce eating out (which came down to once a week).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following these suggestions diligently, <\/span><b>88% of members lost weight, and the average BMI went down from 31 to 29<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Members Saw a 46% Improvement in Fitness Levels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, coming to the members&#8217; fitness. It needed our immediate attention. The reason is that when the program started, a whopping <\/span><b>89% of the members had poor overall fitness scores<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! Our task was straightforward &#8211; we had to improve that number drastically to help them achieve their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fitterfly&#8217;s tailored physiotherapy intervention concentrated on two key areas:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First<\/span><b>, pinpointing and alleviating pain,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which was the reason why many were avoiding exercising and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, <\/span><b>encourage a consistent routine of strength and cardio workouts.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After detailed assessments, the fitness coaches guided each member with what exercise to do and how to do it. They also constantly encouraged them not to give up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the positive outcomes left the members very pleased with the program and themselves. It gave them the confidence to achieve and sustain their weight loss goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how the various fitness parameters saw a jump after our interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18090 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"601\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1.webp 601w, https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1-150x150.webp 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 601px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 601\/601;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1.webp 601w, https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.fitterfly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Inner-03-2-1-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/noscript><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>16% Improvement in Overall Quality of Life after Our Psychology Interventions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the participating members joined the Fitterfly Weight Loss program, many were struggling not just with their weight but with their minds, too.<\/span> <b>3 out of 4 members were dealing with stress, feeling unhappy, and not sleeping well<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It&#8217;s tough to focus on eating right and exercising when you&#8217;re weighed down by worries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s why our program doesn&#8217;t just look at what you eat or how much you move.
