Did you follow any specific diet, like keto or anything else? And since you're a foodie, how did you stick to it? See, first of all, I just realised that I have to eat anything that is fuel for my body. First of all, I made sure that my diet is rich in protein and it constitutes the majority of the pie chart of my diet.

Then fiber, then carbs was my last priority on my list. Carbs is also very important. I would say fat was at a better position than carbs in my diet.

I had more fats than carbs. Because fat, especially good fats, is also very important for everything—for your brain functioning, for your skin, for all the reactions that happen in your body. I'm telling you, I've studied everything.

And carbs are important, but our Indian diet is very carb-rich. We take carbs, we fry it in fat and have it, which is a deadly combination. A very deadly one.
