Workouts help me de-stress: Ankit

Which is the one breakfast food that you must have?

For breakfast, eggs and fruits are a must for me, I tend to over eat them.

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

I can’t resist pasta in any form. I just love it.

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

I balance it out with a proper diet and workout. For me, it is 80% diet and 20% workout. I ensure that these two go hand in hand. Workouts help me de-stress.

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

Yes, I do, and it contains proteins and fibres. It also depends on what type of body I am trying to achieve — muscular, lean, or just maintaining my current physique.

A diet plan that always works for you?

Heavy breakfast, lunch, and fasting after sunset. I try and eat everything by 7pm and post that, if at all, I am hungry, then I have a cup of tea with a whole wheat toastie.

Do you work out at home? What are the exercises you follow?

I do core workouts such as planks, hanging crunches, chin-ups and free squats. I also like to swim, play beach volleyball and go on hikes and treks. I walk a lot, and now because the winters are coming, I will be going out for regular runs as well.
