Reassuring Fans About His Health
Another concerned fan also commented that Karan Johar looked “very down” health-wise. However, he reassured fans by stating, "I want to tell you I am in the pink of health.

How It All Began
Although Karan Johar had already shared that he followed healthy methods for his transformation, a curious fan asked him more about his weight loss journey. Opening up, Karan revealed it all started with his blood tests, which showed he needed to improve his health—with the help of some medication.

OMAD and Physical Activities
He shared, “Then it went on to me eating one meal a day, something I call ‘OMAD’.” Karan also spoke about a "parallel play" in his routine, which included physical activities like swimming, regular workouts, and maintaining a healthy diet to support his transformation.
Karan also shared his weight loss mantra—eating food that’s free from lactose, gluten, and sugar. He advised fans to eat only when necessary and focus on healthy choices. He pointed out that greed often replaces real hunger, which isn’t healthy, and said he’s been working on changing his mindset around food.
