It’s not every day that a public figure’s physical transformation starts a larger discussion, but Karan Johar’s noticeable weight loss over the past year has done exactly that. As his photos began circulating online, many wondered what helped him slim down so significantly. A recent video by nutritionist and health coach Priyanka T, posted on her “Lean by Priyanka” Instagram page, offers some insight into the approach he followed.
According to Priyanka, Karan committed to a strict routine known as OMAD, short for “one meal a day,” and stayed consistent with it for about seven months. This method is considered one of the more extreme forms of intermittent fasting because it allows just a single meal in an entire day. The long fasting window—roughly twenty-three hours—pushes the body to depend on stored fat for energy instead of the sugar or glucose it would normally receive from frequent meals. During this period of fasting, only water, black coffee, or tea are typically allowed.

As Priyanka discussed Karan Johar’s transformation, she emphasized that while the results may look impressive, the method behind them isn’t necessarily suitable for everyone. She highlighted that extreme fasting can strain the body, potentially affecting hormones and reducing muscle mass over time. Her reminder was clear: just because a celebrity succeeds with a particular diet doesn’t mean it’s automatically the right or safe choice for anyone else.
By sharing Karan Johar’s journey, Priyanka sought not just to explain his results but also to encourage people to think carefully and seek proper guidance before attempting such rigorous approaches to weight loss.
