The 21-21-21 fitness rule that's creating a buzz
Kapil Sharma's dramatic weight-loss transformation may have stunned fans, but behind the scenes, it was the result of a steady, structured routine crafted by celebrity fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja. Bhateja recently revealed that the comedian's fitness journey followed the '21-21-21' rule. So, what exactly is the 21-21-21 rule, and how can you use it to kick-start your transformation? Let's break it down. What is the '21 21 21' rule The '21-21-21' rule is a structured, three-phased, 63-day fitness plan designed to promote weight loss. Each 21-day block targets a specific area — movement, mindful eating, and overcoming emotional dependencies — to build sustainable habits and prevent burnout. First 21 Days: Focus on movement - These initial days are all about getting the body moving — think light stretches, basic exercises, and PT routines from school days. The emphasis is on consistency, not intensity. - Bhateja explains in a YouTube channel, 'Go back 15-20 years, when schools used to conduct PT (physical training classes). Just do those exercises every day for 21 days, and you won't have to do any diet control or modification, eat jalebis as much as you want.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Man Intervenes as Child Jumps on Seats – Watch the Outcome Tips and Tricks Undo Next 21 Days: Modify your diet - Once movement becomes a habit, the focus shifts to small but meaningful dietary adjustments. - Bhateja advises, 'Keep a check on your diet. I am not saying cut your carbs, calories or anything else. This is not the right approach. Only modify your diet.' - Examples include drinking milk in the morning instead of at night to avoid acidity or gas, using less sugar or milk in tea, and controlling jaggery intake after meals. Final 21 Days: Control emotional dependencies - The last phase addresses emotional triggers and unhealthy habits such as excessive caffeine intake, alcohol, or smoking. 'Control your emotional dependency on any substances that do not give you any health benefits…' he explains. This isn't about strict elimination, but about cultivating self-control and awareness. By day 42, visible progress boosts motivation, and by day 63, habits become self‑sustaining These 62 days will help you build an attitude without any pain, because you focused on only 1 thing during each set of 21 days… After 63 days, you will see a good change in your body, and you won't need anyone to push yourself. This is what works best for beginners Yogesh Bhateja, a fitness coach Many clients have shown interest in Kapil Sharma's recent transformation, curious about the 21-21-21 method and whether it would work for them. Some even asked if they could start with this approach instead of the typical diet plans usually recommended by dietitians and nutritionists Muskan Soni, nutritionist Phase 1: Days 1–21 Ensure 6–7 hours of quality sleep each night. Begin your day with a protein-rich breakfast, especially if you usually skip it. Incorporate a brisk 20–30 minute walk into your routine. Opt for stairs instead of the lift or escalator whenever possible. Phase 2: Days 22–42 Reduce eating out to once every 7–15 days. Choose simple home-cooked dinners, such as dal-rice, khichdi, mixed dal cheela, or dosa. If indulging in a cheat meal, have it during the daytime rather than late-night gatherings. Phase 3: Days 43–63 Limit alcohol intake to once or twice a month. Enjoy your favourite dessert just once a month — minus the guilt. Switch from regular milk coffee to black coffee or green tea. If you love masala chai, try it with less milk and sugar, and reduce both quantity and frequency. (as suggested by nutritionist Muskan Soni)

Ozzy Osbourne dead at 76: Rock legend's long health battle with Parkinson's, spinal injuries
Image credits: Getty Images John Michael Osbourne, popularly known as "Ozzy" Osbourne, was a legendary English singer who was the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. Also known as the Prince of Darkness, the 76-year-old had just recently reunited with his bandmates to perform a huge farewell for the fans. Now, in a statement, his family announced his death, saying, "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love." Throughout his life, Osbourne had dealt with a variety of health concerns. From breaking his neck to dealing with Parkinson's and depression, the singer had braved a lot. Here's a look at his medical history. Quad bike crash Image credits: X In 2003, the rockstar was seriously injured in a quad bike accident at his Buckinghamshire estate, when he broke his collarbone and six ribs. Then, a fall from a toilet in 2019 dislodged the metal rods in his back from the quad bike crash. 'I fell over and I landed wrong,' he later said. "I went to the doctor's, and you assume everybody knows what they're doing. I haven't walked properly since.' In 2023, he revealed that a fourth operation was the last one his body could handle. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo 'It's going to be the final surgery, because I can't do it any more. Regardless of the way it ends up, I can't.' 'I walked upstairs today for the first time in a while, and my feet feel like I've got diving boots on,' he added. ADHD and dyslexia The star also faced troubles with dyslexia and ADHD. In a 2019 interview with GQ magazine, he shared how, along with his recovery, he also had to do a daily inventory of how his day went. And since he is dyslexic and has ADHD, he used to carry a tape recorder with him to record a melody straight away. Parkinson's disease Image credits: X Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkin 2, a mild form of Parkinson's disease in 2019, which he publicly revealed in 2020. Along with mobility issues, the condition led him to suffer from pain, depression and blood clots. Pneumonia In 2019, he also came down with pneumonia and had to axe his tour dates to recuperate for six weeks on doctors' advice. "Ozzy recently developed pneumonia & has spent some time in hospital. He is through the worst part. His doctors have advised that he stay at home to recuperate for a full six weeks," his wife Sharon wrote on social media. In an interview, he had also shared that the blood clots in his legs caused him blood pressure issues and had to be treated with blood thinners. Emphysema and spinal tumour Image credits: X Additionally, in 2019, the star also suffered from a severe upper-respiratory infection that led to emphysema (COPD). In November 2023, Osbourne revealed that he had been diagnosed with a spinal tumour but remained hopeful that he would be able to perform again to say goodbye to his fans. Recently, in July 2025, with his other bandmates, he gave a final concert to some 40,000 fans at Villa Park soccer stadium in Birmingham, England. Needless to say, the godfather of heavy metal will be remembered forever.
