This post is for all fitness enthusiasts who would love to know everything about Karan Singh Grover fitness tips.
DIET CHART
Being a son of a trained dietitian, Karan knows all his diet requirements such as what and when should he eat any particular diet. He himself is an ex-hotelier, so the dude has good knowledge of all about nutrition.
Fortunately, the hardcore Punjabi Munda is not inclined towards fatty food and prefers homemade fare. “Unless I’m travelling and there’s a Burger King around, in that case, I’ll have double whoppers every day. I love eating and I eat a lot. While shooting in the city, I carry my dabba from home. Everything is put in separate boxes and packed for me,” he confides. Let’s have a look at his diet chart.

CHEAT DAYS
In one of his recent interviews, he revealed his love for ‘BESAN LADDOOS.’
“Last month, I’ve been having cheat days every day. I love cookies, candies, and laddoos. I can avoid rice, that’s not a problem. But if there are besan laddoos anywhere around in the house, they call out to me. I’ll know exactly how many more are left in the dabba. And I eventually finish them. I also love Skittles. Last month, I had 30 laddoos in three days. I spent one month in the gym after that!”, he laughs. Karan works out like a maniac after that because perhaps the ‘guilt takes over’.
He drinks lots of water (3.5 to 4 litres every day.) He believes water is the best detox trick that everyone can follow easily.

“One shouldn’t eat anything after 8 pm” is a myth according to him. Karan says, “It‘s for people who sleep by 10 pm. I sleep late, by 1 am. So if I have my dinner at 8 pm, by that time my metabolism would have slowed down. You need to eat every two hours.”

Being a sports lover, Karan also stays fit by playing basketball and volleyball. “I also swim whenever I get the time. I could live in water!” he says.
KARAN SINGH GROVER’S ADVICE ON FITNESS
He has advice for youngsters who want a body like his.“Firstly, don’t go with just the aim of having a great body because being fit is more important than having a great body. Secondly, when you look at the mirror, don’t see what you have rather visualize what you want yourself to be.
If a person works out for 21 days non-stop, it will become a habit. Take a walk down the street, go for a morning jog, buy a gym membership and attend it just because you’ve paid a lot of money. Do whatever it takes to keep fit. In those 21 days, your mind will conjure up excuses like ‘it’s Sunday so the gym is shut’. ‘l’m not feeling well’ or ‘I have an early morning tomorrow’. Don’t listen to it. Don’t take too many break days. Consistency is the key secret,” he stresses.
