Actor R Madhavan, in 2022, underwent a significant weight gain for his role as scientist Nambi Narayanan in the film "Rocketry: The Nambi Effect."
Recently, a social media user shared an old video of Madhavan explaining to Curly Tales how post-film he only ate food that was good for his body. “No exercise, no running, no surgery, no medication,” he said.
Responding to the X user, the actor provided a detailed explanation of his fitness regime. Here’s how Madhavan altered his appearance within just 21 days.
He shared that intermittent fasting was a crucial component of his routine.
Emphasising the importance of chewing food properly, the actor said, “Heavy chewing of food 45-60 times (drink your food and chew your water).”
The actor said he would finish his last meal at 6:45 pm, which only included cooked food, adding that he did not consume anything raw after 3:00 pm.
He went on early morning long walks and highlighted the importance of early night deep sleep. He added that he followed the ‘no screen time 90 minutes before bed’ rule.
Madhavan mentioned that he increased his fluid intake and added lots of green vegetables and food that is healthy and easily metabolised by the body.
He also emphasised avoiding processed foods completely.
