What keeps actor Varun Dhawan in such perfect shape?

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan has revealed his diet and the food that keeps him in shape during a recent interaction with fans on Instagram.

During a recent interaction with fans on Instagram, via an ‘ask-me-anything’ session, the actor revealed quite a few details of his life in the coronavirus pandemic. While responding to a fan’s question who asked him what kind of diet he takes, the 34-year-old replied that he tries to do intermittent fasting for 14 to 16 hours.

Dhawan said he begins his day with coffee, then egg white omelet or oats, followed by vegetables and chicken, and lots of water. Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern during which one takes timely meals within an eating window and then fasts at other times.

It does not put any restrictions on what one eats — whether whole grains, vegetables, protein, or fruits — in terms of quantity and quality during the eating window. The basic idea is to give the body time to digest food, and in the process, burn excess body fat and detox. It is considered to suit the body’s circadian rhythm.
