Suniel Shetty is undoubtedly B-town’s fitness guru. With a perfectly honed physique, the seasoned actor can even outshine the newest gen of stars. The good news is that his regimen isn’t exactly under the wraps. Shetty once shared insights into his fitness and lifestyle routine that help him stay youthful. According to him, it’s 80% diet, 10% training and 10% habits that keep him in top shape.
During a podcast interview with Ranveer Allahbadia aka Beer Biceps, Shetty shared, “My fitness routine is my lifestyle routine. Like I say 80% diet, 10% training and 10% habits. Early to bed, early to rise. You know whatever happens, I make sure to get up before 5 or 6 in the morning so that night time I go to bed at 10 or 10:30. Even if I am late due to work, I will catch up during the week but I will not disturb that routine of getting up early. So, I train early 45 minutes to 1 hour and I quantify my food. So, I need simple things.”
Shetty added, “The basic mantra is 80% clean diet and home-cooked food.”
He revealed that while he enjoys eating out, he avoids it because he’s unsure of the additives or preservatives used. Instead, he meticulously counts his calorie and oil intake and avoids foods with white ingredients such as milk, white rice, salt, and sugar.
When asked about supplements and protein intake, Suniel Shetty explained, “No, no, no. I did try protein supplements for a while because I felt my muscles were depleted, but they didn’t suit me. When something doesn’t work for me, I go back to the drawing board with my nutritionist. We assess what’s missing and figure out what needs to be adjusted, then I supplement with natural alternatives. So far it has worked for me.”
In the interview, Suniel Shetty discussed his injury and that he needs to talk to his nutritionist about it. The actor mentioned that if cutting back on protein and taking supplements isn’t doing the trick, he needs to deal with the underlying problems.
He also spoke about the importance of understanding one’s unique nutritional needs. Shetty advocates for personalised nutrition, where one should conduct proper tests to identify deficiencies and tailor their diet accordingly. “We should not consume supplements just because the world is telling us to,” he advises.
