The same as the one I advise my clients to follow. I eat eight to nine small meals a day. I mean, if you spend one day with me, you'll find me constantly eating. I work out every day -- I do yoga three or four times a week, I weight train twice a week and I run once a week. Then I make sure I get enough rest every night and try to keep myself stress-free.

Tell us about a low cost fitness regime.

I don't know of any high-cost regime. Just eat what you're eating and break it down. If you're eating two chapattis for lunch, eat one at 11 o clock and one at 1 o'clock. Make sure you have breakfast. Eat stuff like peanuts that don't cost anything. Eat a banana for breakfast -- it costs less than one rupee. Cooking food at home doesn't cost anything.

Most of my clients complain that their food bills have crashed. Because the minute you start eating correctly, you're so in tune with your stomach that people don't even enjoy eating out. If they overload their stomachs, they are very uncomfortable the next day. Not that they weren't doing it earlier -- their senses were so numb that they could keep doing it. But once they started eating right and exercising, they feel like, "Okay, I don't want to eat dinner at 10, can we meet at 8?"
