How I Keep Fit

Do you follow a strict diet?
I have a high-carb diet and eat complex carbs like rice, potatoes and whole wheat instead of simple carbs like sweets and chocolates. I also have plenty of fish, meat, fruits and raw vegetables. I eat six to seven mini meals a day and drink close to four litres of water.

Why a high-carb diet when the current trend is high-protein and low-carb?
It8217;s been long proven that crash and fad diets don8217;t work. Ideally, 58 per cent of your food intake should be complex carbs and a small percentage should be protein. Any excess is converted into fat and could also overload the kidneys and liver.
