Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Introduce us to a day in your life.
Ms. Rashi Chowdhary:
I wake up by 5 am on most days of the week. I absolutely hate exercising but in my mind it is an absolute must, so I finish that and get it out of the way by 7 am. My clinic starts at 9 am so I have an hour before where I usually push in a blow dry and check my emails or make to do lists ( I love TO DO lists) Clinic appointments are between 9 to 6 pm and I break for lunch between 1 and 1:20 pm. Post 6 Pm I usually have some protein bake shop to take care of but I usually take 3 days off post 6 pm in the week to meet friends and just chill.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Rashi Chowdhary:
I keep switching it between cross fit, resistance training with free weights and there is a whole lot of running. I get bored very easily so I have tried some of the best Crossfit gyms in Dubai, trained with many different trainers and running is something I do if I land up skipping gym for any reason. I’m in control of it so it makes me feel very comfortable. I use to do a lot of 5 k’s and now I am for 7 or 10 k’s to feel like I have had a good workout.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about the food/meal routine that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Rashi Chowdhary:
I follow the 80 / 20 rule. My food is extremely clean! I’ve gone grain free since a while and only seen benefits every since in every area of my life. I genuinely believe that food has a massive impact on how we think, feel and behave and that make us the people we are. When you eat food that heals your gut, you will be happier and are able to make better decisions. You feel calmer and more in control of your emotional state. I have my solid reasons to eat clean because only then I am able to easily say no to a lot of foods that add absolutely no value to my nutritional status. Sweet potatoes, avocados, nuts, meats, veggies, fruit and a lot of ghee. My food comprises of all the things. I use to be a sugar addict which is also the reason I started protein bake shop, but now, thanks to the Peanut butter truffles, I don’t give into my cravings for sugar easily. I always keep them handy with me.
