Kohli openly credits diet as the cornerstone of his physical transformation. Speaking to Star Sports, he laid it out plainly: “You can go to the gym and work hard. But with food, it is very different. You have taste buds, and it’s linked to your own mind wanting something and not wanting something.” And then he said something that sounds almost absurd until you believe he means it: “I can eat the same thing for the next six months, three times a day. I have no issues.”
Around 90% of his food is steamed or boiled. No masala. Just salt, pepper, and lime. He’s gone fully plant-based in recent years, trading grilled chicken and red meat for lentils, quinoa, vegetables, and protein shakes.
