In an interview with Mungai Eve, TikToker Kinuthia opened up about his decision to stop pursuing weight loss through a gastric balloon procedure. The procedure involved swallowing a balloon to aid in weight reduction, but Kinuthia admitted to giving up on the process due to his inability to maintain a healthy diet.

Addressing the inquiries from his followers, Kinuthia explained, "That thing needs one to follow up a proper diet, I gave up on the way. By the time the process was ending, I had given up. I have no food discipline."

Contrary to popular belief, weight has never been a major concern for Kinuthia. He confessed that he had only sought to try something new and was comfortable with his weight. The decision to undergo the gastric balloon procedure was motivated by his aversion to working out in the gym, as he considered himself "lazy" when it came to exercise.

Kinuthia had initially lost around 7 kilograms after swallowing the balloon in November 2022. However, he decided to discontinue the process before its intended removal in February 2023. Instead, he expressed an interest in exploring other avenues, such as going to the gym, to achieve his desired weight loss.

Despite the challenges associated with the gastric balloon, including morning sickness and adjusting daily routines, Kinuthia expressed satisfaction with the changes he observed, particularly in reducing belly fat. However, he acknowledged his lack of consistency and discipline, which prompted him to discontinue the procedure.

While Kinuthia's experience with the gastric balloon did not yield the desired results, he remains open to exploring other weight loss methods in the future. For now, he intends to focus on finding a fitness routine that suits him and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
