Popular Nigerian Chef, Hilda Baci, is said to have undergone rigorous physical and mental preparation to be able to cook for hours.
The Akwa-Ibom-born Chef, who is currently on her way to breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time, has lost 30kg in two years to reach her desired body goal.
A retro video of Hilda has surfaced on social media showing off her remarkable transformation during her weight loss journey. This follows her inspirational quest to surpass the current record held by Indian Chef, Lata Tondon, who cooked continuously for 87 hours and 45 minutes.
Hilda, who has displayed an admirable level of strength and resilience since she started the four-day cooking marathon on Friday, revealed that she used to weigh 110kg but managed to reach a current weight of 81kg.
She also blamed her unhealthy eating habits for her excessive weight gain and said she needs to make sure to maintain her current weight.
“Some of you that just followed me don’t know this but used to be me at a point, I was weighing 110 kg and this is me today at 81 kg. It took me two years to get here; losing weight and getting my desired body wasn’t easy. It took a lot of steps, and now that I have lost weight I have to maintain it so I don’t go back to where I was coming from,” she said.
