‘Eating in the right proportion helps’

One fattening food item that you just can’t resist?

I cannot resist sevaiya (vermicelli) and halwa made by my mum as it is absolutely delicious. I can resist eating chocolates and other fattening foods.

How do you get back in shape post a fattening indulgence?

I am extremely particular about my weight. As soon as I start gaining weight, I hit the gym or I do yoga and dance. It is a good way to burn fat. Also, I usually minimise my food consumption for dinner. Like, I have dal or salad consuming more of proteins and less of carbs. That really helps to cut down fats.

Do you prefer mini meals? What do they normally contain?

Yes, I do prefer mini meals like from lunch to dinner. I have my dinner at 8.30 to 9pm and there’s a huge gap in between, so in order to fill that I have almonds, cashew nuts or fruits at around 5.30pm as they containing everything may it be carbohydrates, protein, fibre, carbohydrate, etc. I really enjoy eating it as starving can sometimes lead to putting on more weight. So, eating something in intervals is very essential.

A diet plan that always works for you?

Eating healthy and eating in the right proportion has always worked for me. If I eat too much, I tend to put on weight so I make sure that I have heavy breakfast and have minimum lunch, grab a snack in the evening and minimal dinner. So, yes eating in appropriate quantity and healthy food is very essential for me.

Do you prefer outdoor or indoor physical activity?

I am an athlete, so, I always enjoy doing outdoor activities. They are rejuvenating. I practise yoga at home at least three to four times a week. I have also joined a gym as I wanted to get more functional and organised. I usually don’t indulge in weight training as I am already muscular and don’t want to pump in more.

What are your favourite physical activities?

My favourite is yoga. I just love doing yoga as it helps to tone your entire body, can have appropriate blood circulation, also calms you down, reduces stress level. Also I enjoy functional training. So, these two I enjoy the most.

A health tip that you rely on.

I think eating right is very important. As eating too less or too much and working out can really hamper your body and won’t help you in gaining or losing weight.
