Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, known for his impressive physique, recently shared his fitness routine.
In a chat with Shubhankar Mishra on YouTube, the 51-year-old actor revealed that he sticks to a strict vegetarian diet, avoiding both alcohol and meat.
"I'm a vegetarian. I've never tasted non-veg," he said.
He also proudly mentioned building his muscles without relying on supplements or steroids.
Early diet
'I used to eat an entire loaf of bread...'
Sood also revealed that he didn't know the meaning of proteins and carbs in his student days.
"I used to eat an entire loaf of bread and a full brick of butter."
"I'd tear off the corner of the milk packet and drink it all up. I would eat egg whites...To this day, I go to hotels sometimes and the chefs offer to prepare special meals for me, but I ask them to give me a salad and egg whites."

In an earlier interview with Jist, he revealed his current diet: "For breakfast, I eat egg-white omelet, salad, avocado, sauteed vegetables or papaya."
"Lately, I have stopped eating chapatis...In the afternoon, I eat a small bowl of dal and rice."
