The super-food I swear by: Home-cooked food!
If I didn't have to worry about getting fat, I would: Be eating red velvets (cupcakes) everyday.
My quick-fix fitness mantra:There is no quick-fix! Fitness is something that requires consistency... However, if it's a desperate situation, cut out carbs in the evenings.
Ve-gan or we can't?
Ve-gan. It's a healthy and fantastic way to live. But I love my meat too much right now. Who knows, maybe in the future!

Model Rosie Huntington's legs.

My quick-fix fitness mantra: An hour of spinning and a big leafy salad is a quick fix for toned abs and legs.
Ve-gan or we can't? Ve-gan. I am a vegan because of allergies to food and animal protein, so I really don't have a choice. Would I be vegan by choice? No. Because certain dishes do taste exciting with eggs, cheese and dairy.
I wish I had...
Jennifer Aniston's arms and legs, Jessica Biel's upper body and Priyanka's waist
My mom always says...
'Get your hand out of the Lindor Dark Chocolate jar!'
What keeps me going...
I am a slave to habit, so staying true to a regimen is not difficult. But I do have a problem with indoor gym workouts and being cooped up inside. I prefer outdoor sports or a brisk walk in the open.
My favourite time of day to exercise...
Early mornings. I am not an evening person. Besides, with traffic, I would never make it to an evening workout in time!
I exercise to...
House Music and Electronica.
Fitness gyaan: Work out in a group or join a class if you are not motivatedu00a0- it really improves your consistency with your regimen and makes the class competitive.

My quick-fix fitness mantra: 10 days of working out and I can fix most problems!
Ve-gan or we can't?
I don't think a vegan diet is healthy. Our bodies haven't evolved to survive only on plants.

Hrithik's biceps
My mom always says...
'Are you sure you're eating enough?'

Self-motivation. If I know I have to do something, I do it.

Silence. I hate gyms that play music.

Gratitude and a positive attitude, followed by a heavy breakfast of six boiled egg whites and a bowl of oatmeal with skimmed milk and seasonal fruits, or multigrain toast with peanut butter.

Protein shakes: Easy to carry around and taste good, especially the chocolate-flavoured ones.
If I didn't have to worry about getting fat, I would: Eat lots of cheese, pizzas, desserts and creamy pastas more often.
My quick-fix fitness mantra
Don't think too much and just get on with it!
Vegan or we can't?
We can't. I love food too much to go vegan or even vegetarian for that matter. There's no way, I would go the Vegan way.
I wish I had...
A body like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but a much smaller version
My mom always says...
'Today happens to be a religious day, try not to eat meat.'
What keeps me going:
Self-Motivation. Part of the reason is my profession and the other part is that [keeping fit] makes me happy.
My favourite time of day to exercise:
Mornings, as it sets a great tone for the day and makes me feel energetic throughout the day.

Live and to be happy, to be energetic, to look good, feel good, and so that I fit into my 'M' sized T-shirts and carry them off to the T.
