Manoj Bajpayee opens up on his diet
During a recent interaction with Jist, Manoj Bajpayee mentioned that food poses a significant threat when it comes to weight and illnesses. By refraining from having dinner, one can avoid various health issues. He explained that he reduced his food intake because he genuinely enjoys the lunch he has, considering it to be great.
He said, “Food is the biggest enemy when it comes to weight and illnesses. When you stop eating dinner, there are many illnesses that you save yourself from. I reduced my intake of food because I like food. You will wonder why? Because the lunch that I have, that’s great. I have rice, roti and my favourite vegetarian or non-vegetarian dish with it.”
Manoj further mentioned that this approach helps him maintain a “balanced” weight. Additionally, he emphasized the crucial role of regular exercise. He mentioned that he engages in yoga and meditation, highlighting the significance of mental health. According to him, it’s not just about crafting a particular shape and abs are not the sole important aspect.
Explaining the same, he added, “If I decide that I want abs, then I will get there, but that’s not what I want. Because I want to do things like Joram, Bandaa, Gulmohar, Killer Soup, and just by making abs, I can’t do all of those roles.”
