Postpartum weight loss is the one thing every Indian mum Googles at midnight, and nobody gives her a straight answer. So I asked Sohrab Khushrushahi.

The weight that didn't leave. The C-section belly that still looks pregnant. The core that feels disconnected. The exercises that just aren't working. And that quiet, constant pressure to ”bounce back.”

I sat down with Sohrab Khushrushahi, founder of Sohfit, and asked him everything we're too embarrassed to ask out loud. That the 40-day rest period isn't gospel. That one of his students deadlifted 70kg the day she delivered and was back in the gym five and a half weeks later. That the C-section pooch might take a year, two, or three, no matter what a reel promises. That perimenopause and menopause are also postpartum. And the line that stopped me completely: the gym cannot change you — only the way you eat does.

We also cover cardio vs weight training, why two hours of padel might be funding your physiotherapist's next holiday, why muscle is the real longevity hack, and why he now trains five-year-olds and teenage girls.

If you've been consistent for eight months and the scale hasn't moved, this one's for you.
