"After 2015, I only have one meal a day.
I only have dinner, no breakfast, no lunch. It is very difficult to do such a thing, but once you get used to it, then it becomes very easy," he said. How did Shami deal with weight gain during rehab After a 14-month injury layoff following an ankle injury during the 2023 World Cup final, Shami faced weight gain during rehabilitation and had to work hard to get back in shape.
Reflecting on the phase, he shared, "I have lost nine kgs (during rehabilitation). The most difficult thing is you have to challenge yourself. When you are in this condition.
.. when I was at the NCA, it was a very difficult phase.
" He added, "My weight was touching 90kgs. The best thing about me is that I do not crave for delicacies. I stay away from sweets.
I stay away from a lot of things, things that generally one shouldn't eat. So, I stay away from them." Despite his strict routine, Shami admitted he occasionally treats himself.
"And, as far as the biryani is concerned, sometimes it's okay," he quipped. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always seek the advice of your doctor with any questions about a medical condition.
