Going from 88 kgs to 65 kgs {which Anant weighs currently} demanded a rigorous lifestyle change. Picking up running, he tells us, was the best way forward for him.

Fitness hack: When he began the process of weight loss, he started off with basic conditioning, as running even 500 meters was unheard of. He took up running religiously and gave up alcohol. The routine was: 1 kms, take a 30 second break, then try and push for 500 meters. He says, the point is to keep increasing the distance. Eventually post three weeks, he was able to get to 1.5 kms.

#LBBTip: He recommends running on the stretch of Bandstand, Carter road, Shivaji Park {Dadar} and Joggers Park {Bandra West}. He covers at least 9.3 km by going up and down the hill everyday via Bandstand. He also advises that runners should keep switching between surfaces like clay, tarmac {roads}, rocks or grassy. Of course, wear the correct running shoes.

The Diet: Anant recommends Amway protein {which costs between INR 1,300 to INR 1,400} which he mixes with his regular food to improve the taste. Also, Threptin Diskettes high-calorie protein supplement {available online, or in grocery shops}.

Cheat day: On Sundays, Havmor’s cake ice cream.
