Growing up in Chandigarh with an international cyclist as a father gave Ramandeep a head start in understanding nutrition. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Luckily, I have been blessed with a father who is an international cyclist. So, he has been teaching me a lot about diet from the beginning,\" Ramandeep revealed in KKR's fitness series 'Train Like a Knight'.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This early education emphasised the importance of non-vegetarian food and dairy products, which have remained staples in his diet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The KKR batter revealed that he starts each day with traditional desi ghee, followed by a simple yet nutritious breakfast consisting of \"2 whole eggs, 3 egg whites, whole wheat bread and curd\".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This straightforward approach to nutrition underscores his belief that fitness doesn't require exotic ingredients or complicated meal plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Perhaps the most striking aspect of Ramandeep's nutrition philosophy is his unwavering commitment to home-cooked meals. \"You can be fit only by eating home-cooked food. This is what I believe, that whatever you want to eat, cook it at home. You can't be fit by going to fancy restaurants,\" he emphasised.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He advocates for a simple approach to healthy eating that anyone can follow: \"Sugar, fried food and flour. If you leave these three things, 90% of your food will take care of itself.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For those looking to begin their fitness journey, Ramandeep recommends bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and pull-ups - the same exercises he started with as a youngster. \"If we start early, there are a lot of benefits. When you are in a professional sport, you take very little time to become a professional athlete,\" he noted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While many fitness enthusiasts focus solely on active training days, Ramandeep places equal importance on recovery. \"The day we are not working out, we have a recovery day. So on that day, nutrition plays a significant role. The next day you are at 100%, you are peaking. So for that, I think the rest days are more important.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His pre-workout routine includes three grams of creatine, while post-workout nutrition focuses on protein with adequate fiber for proper absorption, which he gets from vegetables at dinner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Throughout the interview, Ramandeep emphasised that fitness should be accessible to everyone. For those without gym access, he suggests simple alternatives: \"You can do sprints because wherever there is space, you can do sprints. 20 meters is enough. Even if you're doing starts, that's really good.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also shared his healthy alternative for satisfying sweet cravings - curd with jaggery and blueberries, which offers nutritional benefits while pleasing the palate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The most important takeaway from Ramandeep's fitness philosophy is his emphasis on consistency and making healthy choices part of daily life. \"In your day-to-day life, you brush your teeth every day. You bathe every day. So you should eat good food every day. You should train well.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
