Suniel told a very reputed online magazine that there’s a lot of science that goes into fitness. It wasn’t like that when he was young. He started understanding the role of DNA, the difference between food intolerance and allergy and personalized diet and most importantly he took up yoga.

His approach towards exercise has changed as well. He wakes up very early and does almost 2 hours of exercise daily. The first hour is dedicated to yoga and the next 45 minutes into strength training. He tries to lift light but with more repetitions. He tries to do three to four sets of various exercises targeting each muscle group.

His meal plan is simple. He eats five egg whites in breakfast. Avoids bread. Eats quinoa flour roti. Lunch is mainly brown rice with fish/chicken, and for snacks he prefers fruits and peanut butter.  Dinner is usually chicken/any other protein and a soup. He cheats on Saturdays and satisfies his sweet tooth with one date after every meal. Sometimes he also eats sweet potatoes.

He had a hard time cutting out the sugar from his diet. On top of it the hidden sugar in sauces, processed and packaged food, cereals, yogurts and various other products makes it tough to avoid sugar from the diet.
