How I Lost 35 Kg and Found Myself | Ekansh Taneja | TEDxSGGSCC

Ekansh shared his remarkable journey from being overweight to transforming his life and body—losing 35 kg and eventually helping over 5,000 people on their fitness paths. But this talk went beyond just physical health. Ekansh opened up about the often-ignored challenges that teenagers and college students face today—academic pressure, heartbreak, social media expectations, and the myth of always needing to be "strong" or "alpha." With honesty and a touch of humor, he offered a refreshing take on the so-called "sigma mindset," urging young people to embrace balance, self-love, and consistency over perfection. Ekansh Taneja is a leading fitness influencer, coach, and transformation expert who has inspired thousands to adopt healthier lifestyles through his science-backed approach to fitness. Having once struggled with obesity himself-tipping the scales at 107 kg as a teenager-Ekansh transformed his own life through determination and innovative methods, notably flexible dieting, ultimately losing 32 kg and redefining his relationship with health and food. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
