I ensure that I only have good sources of fat including desi ghee and olive oil. Lunch: I eat white rice, potatoes, kidney beans, 1 bowl of curd, 1 bowl of daal and some salad.

I indulge in: I have reserved my cheat meals only for Sundays when I usually have one dosa or 1 cup of tea with some biscuits. My workout: I workout for 6 days a week and it mostly constitutes of intense weight training sessions. Fitness secrets I unveiled: I ensure that I eat according to my body type. I avoid eating chapatis and stick to white rice since I am gluten intolerant. I have also realised that not everything suits everyone. Hence, I steer clear of processed and packaged food and make sure that I am well-hydrated. I also try to meet my daily protein requirements. How do I stay motivated? I love fitness and being a nutrition consultant, I have to stay fit and healthy. My mother plays a crucial role in keeping me right on the fitness track by motivating to me to prepare my daily meals to make sure I complete my macros intake. How do you ensure you don’t lose focus? My routine keeps me focused and motivated. I know that if I do not stick to my schedule, I might slip and go back to where I had begun. What’s the most difficult part of being skinny/underweight? There were literally no clothes available in my size, hence, I was not able to wear my favourite clothes or the clothes of my liking. Additionally, I was called skinny by every other guy in my class, which was really disheartening.

What are the lifestyle changes you made? Earlier, I used to wake up pretty late. When I decided that I needed to transform my physique and health, I started waking up at 4 in the morning. I loved eating fast food at one point of time but I had to quit it to ensure I only have healthy fat. I have learned the art of moderation.

What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? 10 years from now, I want to be a fitter and better version of myself.

What was the lowest point for you? Thankfully, I never quite hit a low because I believe that when you have unwavering dedication, you can never really fail. I keep trying and striving for success.
