Green Coffee magic? All about superdrink that helped Sarfaraz Khan shed 17 Kg in 2 months
When Sarfaraz Khan posted his weight loss update on July 23, fans were floored. The 27-year-old cricketer had dropped 17 kg in just over two months. What followed was a wave of questions about how he did it. Per media reports, the transformation was powered by a clean diet, intense workouts, and a beverage few had expected: green coffee. His father, Naushad Khan, revealed they had eliminated roti, rice, sugar, and flour, replacing them with grilled protein, vegetables, and green coffee. So what's the deal with this drink, and could it actually support weight loss? What exactly is green coffee? Unlike the roasted beans in your daily espresso, green coffee is made from raw, unroasted beans. This means it retains higher amounts of chlorogenic acid (CGA), a natural compound thought to influence fat metabolism, glucose levels, and inflammation. Once popular in ancient Ethiopia and Yemen as a herbal brew, green coffee has re-emerged in health circles as a low-key wellness staple. It is now available in various forms, from powder to capsules, and features in many detox and diet plans. Sarfaraz Khan's diet and regimen According to The Indian Express, Sarfaraz forsook carbohydrates like rice, roti, and bakery items for over six weeks, opting instead for fibrous vegetables, grilled fish or chicken, boiled eggs, and healthy fats such as avocado. His regimen eliminated sugar and refined flour. Green coffee and green tea became daily staples, complementing a workout plan that incorporated a mix of cardio, strength training, and bodyweight exercises. In an interview with The Hindustan Times, his father, Naushad Khan, revealed that they 'controlled our diet a lot,' and 'haven't eaten roti or rice at home for 1 to 1.5 months.' The science behind the sip Per NDTV, some clinical trials suggest that green coffee extract can contribute to 'modest' weight reduction, with studies reporting average losses of 1.2-5 kg when paired with lifestyle changes. The outlet also sources a 2021 case study, which states that CGA may also improve blood pressure, total cholesterol, and fasting plasma glucose (the glucose level in blood after fasting for 8 hours). For Sarfaraz, this meant combining a CGA-rich brew with unwavering dietary discipline—a recipe that delivered headline-grabbing results. Green coffee is not magic, but, like Sarfaraz's routine shows, every wise choice adds up.

Behind Sarfaraz Khan's Incredible Transformation: No Roti, No Rice And Plenty Of Veggies
Sarfaraz Khan recently shared a picture of himself in a gym showing results of his fitness regime which even drew reaction from Kevin Pietersen. Sarfaraz Khan is sweating it out in the gym and following a strict diet as he aims to achieve supreme fitness to win his place back in the Indian Test team. The middle-order batter recently went viral after sharing a selfie from inside of a gym showing his transformation that even had England legend Kevin Pietersen sit up and take notice. As per reports, the 27-year-old had started working on getting slimmer before flying to UK with an India A squad for a two-match unofficial Test series with England Lions in June-July. He had lost 10 kgs by then and is said to have shed 7 kgs more. Sarfaraz's father Naushad says the family has reworked their diet and have stopped eating rice and roti (chapatti) for over a month now. The diet now includes plenty of veggies, grilled chicken and boiled eggs. 'We have controlled our diet a lot," Naushad told Hindustan Times. 'We have stopped eating roti, rice, etc. We haven't eaten roti or rice at home for 1 to 1.5 months. We eat broccoli, carrot, cucumber, salad, and green vegetable salad. Along with that, we eat grilled fish, grilled chicken, boiled chicken, boiled egg, etc. We are also having green tea and green coffee." Naushad says Sarfaraz has also cut down on sugar and bakery items. 'We eat avocados also. There are sprouts also. But the main thing is that we have stopped eating roti and rice. We have stopped eating sugar. We have stopped eating maida (flour) and bakery items," he said. Naushad reveals he himself has been asked to lose weight for a knee replacement surgery. 'He (Sarfaraz) has almost lost 10 kgs within 1.5 months. He is working on reducing his weight even further. I have reduced 12 kgs myself because I had a knee issue. So, I also benefited from it. The doctor told me that I have to do a knee replacement. So, I told him that I had to delay it. He told me that I have to reduce my weight for that," Naushad said. Sarfaraz's India Career The highly-rated Mumbai batter made his anticipated India debut during a home Test series against England last year and has since scored 371 runs from 11 inning at 37.10. He has a century and three half-centuries to his name. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Sarfaraz surprised the cricket world on Monday, July 21, when he showed off a leaner physique. The 27-year-old received praise from Kevin Pietersen for focusing on his physique and the former England skipper said that it could bring him more success on the field. advertisementBefore the start of India A's tour of England for the matches against the England Lions, Sarfaraz had reportedly dropped 10 kilos and it is now being reported that the Mumbai batter has been able to lose close to 17. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Sarfaraz's father said that they have stopped eating roti and rice for the past one to one and a half months at their home, focusing more on vegetables and proteins. He went on to say that cutting out sugar from the diet has helped Sarfaraz shed weight. "We have controlled our diet a lot. We have stopped eating roti, rice, etc. We haven't eaten roti or rice at home for 1 to 1.5 months. We eat broccoli, carrot, cucumber, salad, and green vegetable salad.

Sarfaraz's India career so farAfter being a run-machine on the domestic circuit for Mumbai, Sarfaraz finally got his chance to play for the Indian team during the series at home against England in 2024. The 27-year-old impressed everyone with his batting but has found it tough to seal a spot in the side. advertisementWhile he was part of the touring squad to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Sarfaraz didn't get to play a single game and was subsequently not considered to be a part of the team for the ongoing series against England. However, he did impress during the India A vs England Lions games and the intra-squad match, where he scored a hundred. - Ends

Cricketer Sarfaraz Khan loses 17 kgs in 2 months: Here's what he did (and what he stayed away from)
Indian cricketer Sarfaraz Khan, 27, who has played for Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore, has lost a whopping 17 kgs in just a matter of 2 months. His father Naushad Khan, in an earlier interview with Hindustan Times, spilled beans on his drastic transformation and said that as a family, they decided to lose weight together. He said, 'We stopped eating roti, rice, sugar, flour, and anything from the bakery. ' Their new diet included grilled chicken, fish, boiled eggs, sprouts, salads, broccoli, cucumber, and avocados, apart from green tea and green coffee. Naushad further said that even cheat meals like biryanis were off the table, leading to Sarfaraz losing around 10 kgs within just one and a half months. His father also added that the cricketer is working on losing more weight. What we can learn from Sarfaraz's journey There are no shortcuts to weight loss, whether it is through diet or exercise. Still, there are a couple of things you can do to lose weight fast, but always remember, health always comes first Practice Intermittent Fasting Intermittent fasting requires eating throughout specific daily periods, while alternating between normal eating days and fasting days. The well-known 16:8 diet requires a 16-hour fasting period followed by 8 hours of eating time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find out: this is how you clean your yoga mat! Kingdom Of Men This method helps cut calories without forcing you to keep track of your daily intake. Intermittent fasting produces weight loss through calorie restriction, which mirrors traditional dieting methods while providing metabolic and insulin sensitivity advantages. Research indicates that fasting periods lasting up to 26 weeks generate similar weight loss results as reducing daily caloric consumption. Eat More Protein Protein keeps you full longer, thus helping you avoid unnecessary eating between meals. Your metabolism experiences a better boost when your body spends more energy processing protein, than it does when processing fats or carbohydrates. Starting your day with eggs or yogurt as your first meal helps you feel fuller, which controls your hunger and prevents excessive food consumption during the rest of the day. Eating lean meats and beans with nuts or dairy products during meals, helps sustain muscle tissue while promoting body fat reduction. Eggs and cottage cheese (paneer) together with a portion of nuts should be added to your morning meal. Your meals should contain chicken, fish or plant-based protein (lentils) sources during lunch and dinner times. Focus on Whole, Unprocessed Foods Natural whole foods consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins, provide both nutritional value and satiety. Processed snacks and fast food contain excessive sugars, along with unhealthy fats and high calorie content, that unprocessed foods do not have. A diet consisting of unprocessed foods, leads to natural calorie reduction because these foods need longer time to digest and provide greater feelings of satisfaction. Research indicates that eating whole foods both helps people eat less, and promotes long-term weight loss. Use vegetables as your main food components in each meal, then go for your carb, while completely avoiding junk food and sugary drinks. Regular Physical Activity Exercise plays an essential role when achieving weight loss in a healthy manner. The combination of exercise with physical movement, helps your body burn calories and protect your muscle mass when losing fat. A daily 30-minute walk provides substantial weight loss benefits when maintained over time. You should incorporate cardio activities including jogging, cycling, swimming with strength training that includes bodyweight movements or weightlifting. The combination of strength training with your diet helps your metabolism function better, while improving your body contours. Keep Track of What You Eat Using a food tracking app or writing down your meals will enhance your awareness of calorie content, along with portion size information. The majority of people fail to recognise the actual amount they consume throughout the day. The process of tracking your meals allows you to detect eating patterns while promoting self-aware eating habits. Using this method helps you make better food choices, which enables you to adjust your diet for creating the necessary calorie deficit for weight loss.
