What you resist, will persist, says Ravi Dubey

Which is the one breakfast food that you must have?

Honestly, for the past several weeks, I have been following the intermittent fasting. So, my first heavy meal is at 4pm. Earlier, my breakfast would include an omelette, juice or cold coffee.

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

Sweets, I have a major sweet tooth. My biggest challenge has been to curtail my sweet cravings. From Indian sweets to chocolates, I find it difficult to resist them.

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

I reduce my carb and sugar intake. I also take up some high intensity training and create a calorie deficit.

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

I have tried the diet which includes mini meals. However, I have realised that intermittent fasting works for me.

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

Yes, I do work out at home too. It all depends on the availability of a gym. Like, there was a time when there were no gym available at the location I was shooting at. So, I had a programme that required a 5x5 space and functional workout.

Do you prefer outdoor or indoor physical activity?

I prefer outdoors. However, sometimes, it does get difficult to achieve it. I prefer running in my building ground though, as the traffic and pollution gets to you. Running helps me to burn those calories.

What are some of your favourite physical activities?

I am a big fan of running. It helps me think better, clears my head and at the same time, benefits my physical state.

A health tip that you rely on.

Live a wholesome life. I believe what you resist, will persist. Of course, some moderation is required, especially since by nature, I am an extremist.
