Nothing religious about Saif turning vegetarian

Kareena Kapoor has had a profound effect on Saif Ali Khan, perhaps that's why Saif, a hardcore non-veggie is avoiding meat for some time 'to clean up his system'. The actor is currently working on a getting a lean physique for his next home production Agent Vinod.

Confirming the news, the actor said, "I have always lived the good life and eaten all types of meat. I think I will stop eating most non-veg food for some time. I love chicken and tuna so maybe I won't give that up."

"Except for a few occasions, I will follow a very controlled diet and give my system a break by giving up eating non-veg. But I want to clarify that if I am giving up eating meat it's not for religious purposes or because I'm keeping a mannat. Following a diet and eating healthy vegetarian food clears up the system" adds Saif.

Saif is following strictly a diet plan drawn out by Kareena's dietician Rujuta Diwekar and a workout regime given by his fitness trainer. "I think Rujuta helps me out because she's Kareena's trainer, " says Saif and adds, " I have regular meals of breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, evening snack and dinner so I don't feel hungry."
