2. Eat at the right time: Sidharth Malhotra believes that one should not only eat healthy but also eat at the right time, in order to stay fit. He believes that the first meal of the day should be heaviest and one should eliminate heavy foods and carbohydrates from the evening meals.
3. Cooked vegetables over raw: Sidharth Malhotra says that one should eat cooked vegetables, rather than consume them raw. This is because not only is cooking more hygienic, it is also a way to ensure that bioactive compounds in the veggies are more easily available to the body for quicker absorption.
4. Eat sweets in a smart way: Delhi boy Sidharth Malhotra told GQ that he is a fan of sweets, especially the hot chocolate fudge from Nirula's. However, to keep himself healthy, he learnt to like jaggery, which he said was healthier and kept his sugar cravings under control. He also said that he only eats chocolate, which has 70 percent cocoa.
5. Don't juice your fruits and vegetables: Sidharth Malhotra revealed in a Filmfare interview that he didn't drink fruit juices because they are low in fibre and high in sugars. His diet is rich in whole fruits and vegetables and other organic produce.
Sidharth Malhotra is in great shape as he has been working out since the age of 18, so even if he slips up occasionally, he probably doesn't have much to worry about. But for anyone out there looking to emulate the actor's looks and fitness, Sidharth Malhotra's wholesome diet is a big lesson.
