| An old interview Food n Fitness formula of Anoop Soni |
Making his mark from television and now on the big screen, is Anoop Soni. The talented actor, who thinks that fitness is not just pumping iron but also all about looking your best. He shares his ideas of staying fit with ShaadiTimes. Food is not everything for me, but yes it is something, which one should not overlook. A strict diet From Monday to Friday I follow a strict diet. My breakfast consists of a 6 egg- white omelette, which I have been having for the last 4 years. Lunch is always conventional- dal, sabji, and 3 chapatis. I avoid rice. Dinner is a soup, sprout salad and 2 pieces of chicken. Saturdays and Sundays I just freak out on food. I eat everything and anything from idli, dosa, paratha to Chinese. But, if at all I break rules between Monday to Friday, I make it up by not eating on Saturday or Sunday. I usually carry my dabba on the set. I love chocolate, mithai, but I try and avoid them. Eat out I like to eat out at least twice a week. You will mostly see me at Spices in Marriott or Legacy of China. I freak on Chinese and Thai cuisines. Sundays I take my family to the Marriott for a buffet. Like to cook I am not a very good cook, but my wife is. After I got married I have explored different kinds of food. I cook delicious continental food by referring to the recipe book. Health freak I work out at least 4 or 5 times a week at a gym. I basically opt for cardio and weight exercises. No matter what I do not break this routine. This special care is really essential not to look good but to be fit and fine. Being in the business of acting this is essential. Since the past 4 years I have gained a lot of weight and hence I exercise not to look good but to remain fit. A family dinner... Would be Thai food with my wife and my children on a beach. His mantra We all like fried food but they should be avoided or atleast minimised. We should not forget that excess of anything is bad. Too much of exercise is also not good. Also do not refrain from eating, because if you do then one fine day you will get frustrated and will end up eating 6 samosas in one go! So eat, but eat healthy. |
