Chef Vikas Khanna, 53, attributes his fitness and "skinny" physique to an extremely disciplined and regimented routine, emphasizing the importance of rituals, including consistent workouts and meticulous dietary control where he counts and measures everything he eats. His morning routine involves a measured breakfast of granola, two boiled eggs, and a large bowl of nuts alongside his coffee, which he never skips. Additionally, he integrates fitness into his day by biking everywhere for commuting, avoiding the subway. Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal notes that this approach is highly effective because eating an early, balanced breakfast with protein (eggs/nuts) and complex carbs/fibre (granola) stabilizes blood sugar and supports performance, while the habit of measuring and using incidental exercise like cycling adds consistency, removes decision fatigue, and supports sustainable health and resilience.
