“As you can see, it's not easy staying away from certain things that you like to eat just ‘cause you're a normal human being, you know. So, I had to cut all types of sugar. All carbs. Basically, right now I'm on a carnivore diet. Which is a bit more fun because I get to eat a lot of meat and some cheese, and just animal products? There are a lot of ways of doing it, I enjoy this way 'cause I just love meat, and it doesn't feel restrictive. But I'm also doing intermittent fasting, Cassper Nyovest explained.
Cassper candidly shared that he has considered taking shortcuts to lose weight, but he is being cautious because of the potential health risks. The rapper revealed that he reached out to some of his friends for advice on how they lost weight. Cassper Nyovest said:
“I won’t lie; I’m at an age where I'm really thinking of just throwing money at the problem. But you don't know what’s healthy and what's not. So, definitely calling my friends to say, ‘Yo, what are you using?’”

Briefly News spoke to a fitness expert and certified personal trainer who shared how effective tennis is as a cardio workout for weight loss and overall fitness compared to traditional cardio exercises.
The fitness expert shared that with tennis, one gets both coordination and balance while working out the whole body. In contrast, traditional cardio exercises mainly build stamina for the heart and lungs.
"Tennis improves hand-eye coordination and balance; it's also a full-body workout as it engages the entire body. A more traditional cardio workout often focuses more on cardiovascular endurance," the fitness expert said.

“No one understands your struggle more than me, brother. I'm a guy battling with weight issues. My normal weight, according to BMI, is 83kg. I currently weigh 90kg, from 110kg two months ago. I designed my own diet plan, and it's working so far. Even though I fall off the train sometimes. But I'm not giving up. Cassper, I believe in you. You can do it!”
pz222bbg said:
“I've lost 5kg over a period of 3 months, only through intermittent fasting (I'd fast for about 16-18 hours) and less calorie intake. It's fun and interesting, but it requires a lot of discipline, which most people lack. Stay focused 🫵🏼”
