CUT THE FAT 

 1 . Challenge : During this Covid 19 pandemic times I faces the problem of Putting on Weight . I 

 gained 8 KG to 9 KG Weight i.e. ( 81 – 88.5 KG ) . Cholesterol levels were increased . The   Primary reason for this is lack of exercise and work from home option and spread of the virus   which will prevent you not to go out for any physical activities like going to Gym or Park . I   decided to reduce the my weight . First I did the deep dive analysis of my daily routine , Food   habits , stress etc . I noticed the below points 

  Daily Routine : 

 •   Lack of physical exercise . Though I am not new to fitness , I observed this pandemic   time I completely stopped spending time on it 

  Food Habits : 

 •   Irregular Eating time 

 •   Un balanced Diet 

  Stress : 

 •   As me and family were isolated in metro city and drastically reduced the physical   interactions with people around and not going out to market , movies etc added a lot   of stress . 

 Surprisingly I found the same problem with my cousins , colleagues . 

 So I decided to “ CUT THE FAT “ . I have been doing the changes to above points and reduced   the weight to 80 KG . I decided to help my cousins and colleagues to “ CUT THE FAT ” . 

 2 . Selection : I Decided to Try Story Telling as My Tool . Story Telling helps to convey the required 

 point to others with an Impact . It helps to make people visualize how could be the situation . 

 My problem required more of motivation and inspiration as this need to deal with Habits / daily   routines . Which are the toughest one to change . But decided to try it out , when I could change   few habits for the better health my family , colleagues can also do it especially during this   pandemic period . 

 3 . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you 

 did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) . 

 I have my own story of “ CUT THE FAT “ reducing the weigh from 88KG to 80KG . First of all I   started speaking to very very few of the family and colleagues . When I told about my weight   loss Journey and how it positively impacted me was a great start . Then I gradually started   talking about the their food habit and trying to inspire them to think about the “ increase the   drinking water to 4Lts ” , start taking Vegetable Juice in the morning and citrus juice in the   evening ” and complete the dinner by evening . This first strategy impacted positively as they   started consuming the juices however Drinking water have not changed much . Then second   strategy of spending time for the physical activity have been challenging , they had lot of   excused like can not go to gym or park etc . Then I started shareing my experience of doing the   work out at home . Encouraged them to simple exercise at home which will help them . For this it   was mixed response . One of my cousin started physical activities and my colleague did not do   anything about it . 

 Being a Toastmaster ( Distinguished Toastmaster ) helped me use the story telling techniques   like plot , dialogues , persuasion and motivation etc . 

 4 . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge 

 ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more   broadly ) . 

 After working with the family members and colleagues . My observations are 

  Its Very very difficult to change the habits especially food . People are ready to risk the 

 health but not ready to change food habits . 

  Contact motivation is needed to change the food habits .    Unfortunately people change food habits until it impact negatively on health . Take my case 

 until I realized cholesterol and weight are going beyond my control couldnot think seriously   about changing the food habits though we know all these good habits . Being a fitness freak   I struggled to change the habits to “ CUT THE FAT “ can understand how difficult it is to   convince others to change the health habits . 

 5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you 

 selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . 

 Now I have understanding of the Design Thinking , I would like to try “ CUT THE FAT ” with my   team at work . Let me try a small bet and expand it to larger team . 

  Motivate members to health seriously . Especially work from could seriously 

 impact the health . 

  Create awareness and discuss on the tactics to reduce the weight    Promote the Drinking water regularly on daily basis .    Avoid Junk food and take natural food    Do the stretching and exercise during office our , lets set up reminders in the 

 outlook for the entire team . 

  Encourage to log the weight details and track the progress . 

 I am positive on encouraging more people to “ CUT THE FAT “ and be health .
