Riggy G's fatloss journey and the mystery of working with Shiv Simani.

This week I started writing on Substack.

The goal is to keep my best writing somewhere for my future work. Anyway, much on that later.

Now, Imagine this.

Popular social media trainer Shiv Simani and Riggy G on a photo grid. Shiv is posing his lean and chiseled physique while stripped to the waist. On the other side, Riggy G is addressing the public wearing a coat that many Kenyans think does not fit so well.

What can you see?

Without a doubt, one man is very lean. And the other one obviously in this case Riggy G, is a bit overweight.

Now. A story on Switch Entertainment around September 2022 read that Shiv was willing to help Riggy G get in shape by losing fat. This came in the midst of the heat that Riggy G had declared he was returning to the gym. Truly many Kenyans on social media had been questioning the dressing and fitness of their new Deputy president. And so man Riggy G had decided to open up and blamed the election campaigns for keeping him so busy that he did not have time to exercise. That was why he was in bad shape. But most importantly, Riggy G declared that he was getting started with fat loss.

So Riggy G in his own words: “I am in pretty bad shape. I have gained a lot of weight and it’s time for me to work out because when you work out your mind gets free and you think straight… We have not been able to work out because we were on the campaign trail… Everybody was against us and we had no choice but to go to the people. We had no luxury to come here and work out,”

First of all, shout out to Riggy G for noticing that workouts free your mind and make you think straight. That is if I got him correctly.

Anyway. Details of whether Riggy and Shiv ended up working together are unknown to many including me. And whether Riggy G achieved his fat loss goal is also no longer a bother to many because of politics you know…

But the thing is this, excess fat is a real problem affecting many people to this day. And just like Riggy G, many resort to exercising and watching what they eat. Which is a great move. But many never really achieve their goals. For one reason, fat loss is hard and requires a lot of dedication and discipline. And can often require someone who is fit to help you. That is why Shiv was open to working with Riggy G. I can’t tell his motivation. I am not even sure if it ever happened. But I hope it did.

That story brings us to today’s meat.

How can one get rid of fat and keep it off?

The answer likely lies in someone with excess body weight looking up to a fit person for help. Because trust me, help is not bad. Just like Shiv was willing to help Riggy G, You too, (assuming you are interested in fat loss,) need the help of a fit person. You need the guidance of someone who has done it and who is in the best shape of their life. Most of the time it works.

But don’t sweat my friend. The answers can be found in a well-researched article full of real-life stories and experiences which is available in my new Substack publication.

Head over to my new substack to read a detailed article called; What Lean and Strong People Are Doing to Stay Fit and Healthy.
