How do you start your day food-wise?
I start my day with a glass of warm water with honey or lemon, after which I have my lemon tea. I never have breakfasts, however, I grab a fruit or two on my way out.
What do you eat during the day?
I prefer a light lunch that's full of proteins. I am very particular about my food habits especially since I am a pure vegetarian. My lunch has to have a bowl of soup and lots of greens. I either eat chappati, or else, rice with dal and sabzi. I never mix them together.
What about dinner?
Dinner is again very light. A bowl of soup accompanied with green salad and a bowl of fruit. I believe in nutritious food and I maintain it all the time.
Do you ever fast?
As a rule, Never. But many a times I tend to forget to eat the whole day and that way it becomes my day of fasting automatically (laughs).
Do you ever binge?
Yes of course, I do! But I binge more on proteins and carbohydrates like potatoes and rice.
What is your all time favourite food?
Mexican black beans are my staple diet. Oh! I love it!
Do you stick to a strict fitness regime?
Yes. I work out in the gym for almost 2 to 2 and 1/2 hours every day. I also practice yoga, aerobics and organic healing as and when I get the time and mood.
Your advice on food and fitness for the health conscious.
I must say one must understand his/her body metabolism. It becomes easier for an individual as to what to eat and not to, to keep oneself healthy. Fitness wise, exercise is recommended for at least an hour a day. Be it in the gym, aerobics, yoga or else organic healing or just brisk walking. To keep healthy is what everybody likes, isn't it?
What do you think about themessages being bombarded by magazines and media?
There are too many fads and wrong messages coming across from the West and we Indians love to follow them blindly. I must say, Indians eat the best holistic food in the world, barring the oil and condiment (masala) rich food. The food of the West are rich and makes you obese very fast. This is a fact, which Indians should keep in mind and avoid.
