In fact, he loves food and enjoys eating a variety of cuisines. Since the past three months though, I have put him on a 5-meals-a-day program, mostly balanced food made with the right oils. He gets to cheat on weekends,” reveals Kunal. So, what does Ranbir Kapoor’s everyday meal look like? “He eats five meals in a day usually made up of organic eggs, meats, veggies and nuts. Nothing is out of a packet. Everything is freshly made every day. Oil is limited to macadamia nut oil. His diet includes a lot of fluids and water. Fruits are allowed only as a post-workout refreshment,” shares Kunal.
Kunal tells us that right now the goal is to bulk him up for his upcoming projects, “Eating is critical to gaining size. Eating frequently is something that he has not done earlier. So, there is lot more food to eat now, which is challenging. But Ranbir is very motivated and doesn’t complain at all.”Not Just a Gym EnthusiastUnlike most of the muscular men of the industry, Ranbir Kapoor flaunts a lean, mean figure. He’s a self-proclaimed foodie and doesn’t really rely only on the gym to remain in shape. It's no secret that he loves the meaty dishes prepared by his grandmother. So, how has he been able to maintain his weight? “He eats small portions and stays very active. Football is his passion. He plays at least twice a week. He has a very good metabolism rate which has helped him maintain his lean figure,” says Kunal.
Despite shuffling between hectic shoots and media appearances, most celebrities do follow a very holistic routine when it comes to their diet and fitness. Whether you’re trying to tone up or simply get healthier, a balanced diet coupled with daily exercise is the best advice anyone will give you. Add to that, Kunal Gir’s five easy tips to get into the best shape of your life -1. Food is more dense than shakes, try and eat more real food. Always balance your protein intake with greens to aid digestion and absorption.2. Don’t drink during meals. It disturbs digestion and cause bloating. If you must, have a cup of herbal tea.
3. Most men dream of the perfect eight-pack abs. But know that training for abs twice a week is more than enough. To reveal them, you need to burn the fat covering them and that happens only when you follow a combination of a healthy diet and cardio, not by training them more.4. Lifting heavy weights and more intensely will yield better muscle gains and fat loss, than lifting light weights for a longer duration.5. Lastly, the kind of oil you use for daily cooking makes a lot of difference as fat gives you energy for a vigorous workout session. Switch to coconut oil which is healthier than olive oil for cooking.All in all, the three best diet and fitness lessons that we’ve learnt from Ranbir Kapoor are to eat small portions, indulge in outdoor activities and never miss your daily workout sessions. Stick to these rules for a healthier lifestyle, better body, and perhaps female attention if you’re lucky.
