Sometimes, to change the taste, she would include a small piece of boiled potato in her food. The girl had shared her entire weight loss journey on social media, where people were so impressed by her discipline that they even started calling her the “Goddess of Self-Discipline”.

Due to this strict diet, the girl lost her weight, but at the same time its bad effects also started appearing on her body. She was constantly struggling with problems like fatigue, weakness and change in facial complexion. Despite this, she ignored these signs and continued her diet.
