Diet routine Jaideep Ahlawat followed for the weight loss
After the lockdown, Jaideep had a wake-up call as indulging in comfort foods like parathas, chhole, dal, and ghee-laden dishes led to significant weight gain. Hailing from Haryana, where rich traditional diets are deeply ingrained, he faced the challenge of making major lifestyle changes. Despite his love for hearty meals like roti, dal, and spicy snacks, he dedicated himself to a disciplined regimen tailored to his body’s needs, successfully shedding the excess weight.
Under the guidance of fitness trainer Prajwal Shetty, Jaideep focused on having carefully portioned meals with each serving limited to 100 grams. His typical diet consisted of chicken, quinoa, paneer and green leafy veggies. He completely eliminated sugar from his diet.
