Virat Kohli inspires many, not only for his performance on the field but also for his fitness regime. His fans admire him for keeping himself fit on and off the field. But how does he do it? In a media interaction, he mentioned that he doesn’t eat for taste but for nutrition.
The ace cricketer revealed that about 90 per cent of his diet consists of steamed and boiled foods. He avoids rich sauces and spices, opting for basic seasonings like salt, pepper, and lime. His meals often include salads, but he is particular about not adding curries with heavy spices to his plate.
This minimalistic diet, he says, keeps him feeling light and energetic. “90 per cent of my food is steamed and boiled, with no masala, salt, pepper, or lime. Salads I enjoy, but no masala curries.
Dal I would eat, no deep fried at all. Not a big fanatic of taste, I can eat pan grilled occasionally,” he said. For proteins, Kohli chooses options like rajma (kidney beans) and lobia (black-eyed peas) but steers clear of oily, deep-fried foods.
“I will eat rajma and lobia but nothing else in masala curries,” said Virat Kohli. In his other media interactions, the ace cricketer has mentioned that he can eat the same thing for the next six months, three times a day, and he is completely okay with it. He has also eliminated gluten from his meals and instead prefers nutritious carbohydrates through smoothies, sprouts, and salads.
His typical daily meals include quinoa, spinach, and a variety of greens, season.
