Rahul Gandhi’s diet and workout
In the interview, shared by the official X handle of Congress, Rahul Gandhi revealed his workout regimen. The Congress parliamentarian said that he has always been into some form of physical activity. For the uninitiated, Rahul Gandhi is a black belt in martial arts. Apart from martial arts, he knows diving. Moreover, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra too, he took up regular martial arts classes, he said.
On diet, he said he avoids carbohydrates, but if he has to eat rice or roti, he would prefer roti. As a non-veg lover, his favourite dishes are chicken tikka, seekh kebab and a plain omelette. He prefers one cup of coffee in the morning, he said.
