Anupam Kher Weight Loss “DIET”
Rujuta Diwekar has also played a great role in his transformation. She encouraged him to eat home-cooked meals, which Anupam Kher and his wife Kirron Kher follows religiously.
Anupam said, “I knew I had to get rid of three things in my diet — potatoes, rice and sweets. I didn’t touch any of these for six months.” He firmly believes in having smaller and more frequent meals instead of the traditional three large meals a day. This boosts metabolism and helps in losing weight more rapidly. “As per Rujuta’s instructions, I include plenty of local produce and seasonal fruits in my diet as this helps regulate blood sugar levels and boosts energy levels too,” adds the actor.
He said that sustainability is the most important aspect of any diet plan. If you hate what you eat, you will only be setting yourself up for failure. So, always love what you eat.
