After taking the resolution to lose weight, the weight loss journey began, and the diet was changed. Adnan completely stopped rice, bread, and processed food from outside. Foods like salad, curd, fish, and boiled pulses took the place instead of his previous diets. He did not even touch the sugar. He used to drink tea without sugar. His lunch was with boiled vegetables, salad, boiled pulses, or grilled chicken at night. Sometimes he ate food without salt and butter when he got hungry. He got permission to go to the gym after losing 40 kg weight by following a proper diet.
His physical activity starts with going to the gym, walking on the Treadmill and doing light exercises. A few months later he started ‘weight training’. Adnan used to lose weight by 10 kg every month. After losing 155 kg in 16 months, Adnan’s weight is now 75 kg.

He was completely dependent on others for his everyday job. There was physical pain, as well as mental pain also. He was slowly getting depressed. He himself was uncertain whether it was possible to lose this huge weight.
It was such a time he went through was really painful, said the singer. In his words, “I myself was really afraid of it on observing my condition”. The doctor told me – if you do not lose weight, you can die any day. I could not even get into the car. Even after getting up, I could not sit properly. After losing the weight I got a whole new life back.”
Adnan Sami had 3 failed marriages. At the age of 39 years, Adnan fell in love with Roya Faryabi and the duo had gotten married on January 29, 2010.
