How Nitya Kishore Upadhyay Lost 12kg In 6 Months With GOQii

Are morning walks by themselves a miracle cure for health issues? Can they help manage and lower cholesterol levels or help you lose weight? Managing lifestyle diseases requires a combination of lifestyle changes, and there’s no room for guesswork. This is what our player, Nitya Kishore Upadhyay, figured out when he joined GOQii. Let’s take a look at how his health story unfolded.

Managing Weight & Cholesterol Issues With Morning Walks

As an employee for a pharmaceutical company, Nitya Kishore Upadhyay was always surrounded by doctors and healthcare professionals. He used to do a blood test every six months. Being in sales and marketing, he was on-field most of the time and used to eat out. As a result, he was overweight and also had a history of high cholesterol and vitamin B12 deficiency.

To manage these conditions, he used to take morning walks, but they barely helped. He was using another company’s fitness tracker but didn’t find much use for it because, apart from the data on the device, there was no one there to guide him.

He wanted a device that did more than just track steps. So he began searching for a solution online and came across GOQii. After some research, he purchased a tracker and subscribed to GOQii’s personalized health coaching plan.

Interacting With A Coach & Making Lifestyle Changes

After activating his coaching subscription and speaking with Coach Anukriti, he had no doubt that GOQii was the right choice for him. He says that he was impressed with the in depth guidance he received from his coach. His initial goal was to lose 8-10kg, manage his cholesterol and vitamin B12 deficiency.

Keeping that in mind, GOQii Coach Anukriti suggested that he increase the intensity of his morning walks. He asked him to clock in at least 10,000 steps a day. Along with walks, he was also asked to jog at intervals. Before, we would go for morning walks on an empty stomach, but Coach Anukriti suggested that he eat sabja seeds and begin his morning with lemon water.

She set up a morning breakfast routine, midmorning fruits, and also guided him on what to eat and avoid. Along his health journey, they used to make frequent calls and change his routine as per his schedule. Slowly, he was asked to add more salads to his meals. Later, the sabja seeds were replaced with jeera water – which helped him greatly, he says.

He was also introduced to intermittent fasting, which he says benefited him a lot. Apart from this, based on his schedule, he was also suggested exercises he could perform and was asked to meditate as well.

Right from the beginning of his journey with GOQii, Nitya Kishore says that everyone in the GOQii ecosystem was helpful. Even the classes he attended on GOQii PRO were detailed, and the coaches guided him well. He said that the coach was very understanding and introduced changes slowly as per his schedule and lifestyle, so it wasn’t too overwhelming for him to make changes suddenly.

How did these changes help Nitya Kishore Upadhyay?

Due to all these changes, Nitya Kishore managed to lose 12kg in 6 months. His cholesterol levels and Vitamin B12 levels are also normal. “Nityaji is a very good player and follows all my suggestions and habits regularly,” says Coach Anukriti. She further added that, “He is feeling more healthy and energetic than before.”

His friends and family say that he looks younger and more dynamic than before. He has also been actively advocating GOQii to his friends and family members. He says, “I want to thank Mr. Vishal Gondal for keeping such good people who guide and motivate others”.

He is impressed with GOQii and always appreciates how GOQii is working for people. Like Mr. Nitya Kishore Upadhyay, would you like GOQii to work for you as well? Know someone who needs help managing lifestyle conditions?

How Ahmad Najib Controlled His Diabetes & Lost Weight With GOQii

It’s a well-established fact that unhealthy eating, lack of physical activity and an overall unhealthy lifestyle can lead to many health issues. To begin with, it is the biggest cause of being overweight, which comes with other issues such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and even diabetes. While well known, people tend to overlook these aspects. Our Player Ahmad Najib had also found himself in this predicament and when things started to slip, he decided he needed to change his lifestyle. How did he bring about this change? Read on to find out.

Before Joining GOQii

“My lifestyle was all over the place. There was no routine, I ate an unhealthy diet and ate whenever I wanted and ate whatever I wanted. I never even exercised,” says Ahmad Najib. Owing to his poor eating habits and lack of physical activity, his weight shot up to 108kg.

His HbA1c levels were as high as 6.7. After his regular yearly checkup, he found that his triglyceride and cholesterol levels were high as well. The problem with sugar and being overweight is hereditary in his family. Keeping this in mind, Ahmad Najib wanted to change his lifestyle for the better.

One day while checking the internet for a solution along with a friend, he came across GOQii. After going through the features, he was attracted by the 3 month coaching subscription and decided this was the way to go!

Interacting With The Coach & Adopting Healthy Habits

When he began his coaching subscription, he said that he really liked the way the instructions were simplified for him and the communication was easy. “The interaction was so smooth and easy that I could follow everything my coach shared with me,” he said. The flow of information was continuous between him and his coach.

6 months before beginning his journey with GOQii, Ahmad Najib said that he had completely cut off from sweets and oily food due to his Diabetes issue. But the daily workout he was doing wasn’t helping him at all. His weight would not budge.

After speaking with his GOQii Coach Farhat Khan, he got a better understanding of his diet and what he should be eating as well as avoiding. His coach suggested some fruits he could eat – which he says benefited him immensely. She also helped him clear any doubts he had regarding his meals and helped him balance them.

He was asked to stay off maida and wheat chapatis. These were replaced with jowar or bajra rotis. He was also instructed to stay off junk food and eating out. Apart from this, Coach Farhat Khan also introduced him to portion control. She also asked him to take frequent walks – which included walking for 5-7 minutes post a meal. His workout routines were also shuffled frequently.

Even during the holy month of Ramzan, Ahmad Najib did his best to follow the morning routine, exercises and diet suggested by his coach and avoided eating oily food or ordering in. He says that he has completely stopped eating out.

How Did These Changes Impact Ahmad Najib?

The biggest change he witnessed was that his weight was reduced from 108kg to 91kg. Furthermore, his HbA1c levels have reduced from 6.7 to 5.5. “I don’t need tablets for high sugar anymore,” he says. Even his triglycerides and cholesterol levels are now under control.

His Coach Farhat Khan says, “His fat loss is amazing, sugar readings are now under control and his fitness and stamina have also improved.” She further added that, “Ahmad is really dedicated. He never said ‘ye nahin kar paunga’, and was always ready for the tasks given to him – whether it was physical or diet related.” Before, he couldn’t walk even half a km in one go but now, he can cover 3km without feeling tired.

Looking at his transformation, the people he meets wonder how he pulled it off. With the changes he saw within himself, he recommended GOQii to 2-3 of his acquaintances. He also gifted a GOQii Smartwatch to his sister who has benefited greatly from it. She too lost weight by following instructions from her GOQii Coach.

Overall, he says it’s been a life-changing experience! Currently, along with his coach, he plans on reducing another 8-9kg.

Re-Imagine Insurance With GOQii INSURE+

While not the most interesting topic in the world, let us tell you that health insurance is your secret weapon, granting you access to medical care while keeping costs in check. It acts as a safety net, shielding you from unexpected expenses and covering pre-existing conditions. Think of it as a personal coach, urging you to prioritize preventive care and take charge of your well-being. From regular check-ups to early issue detection, health insurance is a game-changer in protecting you and your loved ones from life’s surprises.

Now, while we understand the importance of health insurance, those high premium costs can make us pull the plug on this game-changer. But what if your health could determine your premium costs? The healthier you are, the less you pay! How is this even possible?

How Did We Re-Imagine Insurance?

By tying up with Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company Limited (KLI) and Kotak Mahindra General Insurance Company Limited (KGI), we launched GOQii Insure+ – India’s first outcome based health and life insurance program that enables you to get a Health Insurance cover for up to ₹5 lakhs and Life Insurance cover of up to ₹1 lakh.

How Does The GOQii Insure+ Plan Work?

To activate your GOQii Insure+ plan of Health insurance and Life insurance covers, all you need to do is activate your GOQii Personal Care subscription. Every GOQii player (user) that activates their Insure+ plan starts their health journey on the lowest tier of the S.A.F.E score i.e. Sedentary. At this level, you are eligible for a Health Insurance cover of ₹1 Lakh & a Life Insurance cover of ₹1 Lakh.

By logging in your daily habits such as steps, food intake, water logs, sleep, exercises and others (set by your personal coach) and achieving your daily health targets, players can improve their SAFE score and progress to Active, Fit and Elite to increase the value of their health insurance cover. On reaching Elite, players are eligible for up to ₹5 lakh Health Insurance + ₹1 lakh Life Insurance Cover.

Refer to the table below to understand the tiers in the SAFE score

GOQii SAFE Score	Eligible Insurance Cover
Sedentary	Up to ₹1 lakh Health Insurance + ₹1 lakh Life Insurance Cover
Active	Up to ₹2 lakh Health Insurance + ₹1 lakh Life Insurance Cover
Fit	Up to ₹3 lakh Health Insurance + ₹1 lakh Life Insurance Cover
Elite	Up to ₹5 lakh Health Insurance + ₹1 lakh Life Insurance Cover

What Happens If Your SAFE Score Drops?

If you are unable to maintain your SAFE score, you will drop down 1 level from your existing tier and will be eligible for the insurance cover under the tier you fall in. For e.g. If you belong to the Elite Tier and are unable to maintain the minimum SAFE score, you will drop down to the Fit level and will be eligible for health insurance cover of ₹3 lakh Health Insurance + ₹1 lakh Life Insurance Cover at the time of claim.

In case if you are sedentary for more than 60 days, on the GOQii App, you will lose the GOQii Insurance Cover.

You can choose your GOQii Insure+ plan here. To active it, follow the steps below:
