Speaking of his fitness journey, the 34-year-old said, “When you are figuring out your fitness journey, you are trying to figure out all sorts of things, vitamins, extra hydration, protein, this, that, to a point where you figure out okay this is what works for me. This is the right balance”.
He also reveals, initially, food was a ‘challenge’, however, now he can eat the same food for six consecutive months, three times a day. “I mean repetition is everything. So the basic challenge that I felt in terms of fitness, is food. Because everyone can kind of you can go to the gym and work hard there’s no preference as such. ….but with food, it’s very different because you have taste buds and it’s linked to your own you know mind wanting something and not wanting something so if you can persevere there that’s something I figured out quite early,” adds Kohli.
Virat Kohli’s Diet Plan
Speaking of his diet plan, the former Indian men’s cricket team captain said, “90 per cent of my food is all steamed, boiled. No masala. Only salt, pepper, and lime, that’s how I eat. I am not a big fanatic about the taste of food, I don’t care about the taste. Salads, I enjoy with a bit of dressing. Pan-grilled is good with a bit of olive oil or whatever. No curries, I only eat dal (lentils), but no masala curries. I do, however, eat rajma and lobhiya; as a Punjabi can’t skip them”.
He also says that he doesn’t eat anything that is deep fried, however, he prefers food slightly fried, that too thrice in almost two and half months.
