Which Bollywood actor is eating only boiled food to stay fit?

Some people binge-watch their favourite shows, while others binge-boil their food—welcome to the world of extreme diets and unexpected flavour discoveries.

Indian actor Gurmeet Chaudhary has revealed that he has been following a strict diet for over a year and is eating only boiled food that has no taste.

Speaking on the YouTube channel of laughter queen Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh Limbachiya, Gurmeet shared details about his strict diet plan with his fans.

"I have given up foods like sugar, roti, rice, and bread," he said, adding, "As a foodie, it is very difficult, but it is necessary to prepare yourself according to the character."

He also claimed to eat only “boiled foods like boiled fish, chicken, and vegetables, which initially seemed tasteless,” but admitted, “ with time, the same foods started to taste good.”

In this regard, nutritionists state that the continuous consumption of boiled food has both positive and negative effects.

According to Veena Wei, Chief Clinical Dietitian, this method reduces body fat, improves digestion, and helps with weight loss, but it can deplete water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins B and C.

It is important to plan your diet and include a variety of cooked foods to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

On the other hand, raw vegetables, which are not boiled, are more beneficial because they retain all the micronutrients and fibre that are lost during boiling.
