“A glance into my personal fitness journey. In 2019, a few months before the pandemic, I started treating my health as an equal priority to my work. Nothing extreme but just maintained consistency. Highlight of 2019 vs 2023 results,” the Zomato CEO wrote in the caption of the post.
In his blog, the Zomato founder tells how he was able to lose his 15 kg weight in 4 years. “I started tracking my carb intake, ate a healthy diet (all ordered via Zomato; because Indian home-cooked food is so dominated by carbs), and worked out regularly.”
“I started tracking my carb intake, ate a healthy diet (all ordered via Zomato; because Indian home cooked food is so dominated by carbs), and worked out regularly. I didn’t do anything extreme, always had a day or two of cheat days on weekends (with cholle bhature, butter chicken, and gulab jamun and what not). But overall, I was consistent with more healthy behaviour each week compared to my previous habits. Consistency without extremities has had a positive effect on both my physical and psychological health”, he said.
“It is no secret that physical health – which also determines mental health is a vital force behind a high-performance individual. When we move our bodies regularly, we are in better control of our emotions, we think more creatively, and have more energy to tackle more in a day, in a better way than before”, Goyal writes.
Goyal also announced the creation of a position in Zomato, a new kind of CFO — Chief Fitness Officer, who will work closely with all Zomans in their individual journey of wellness and healthy living. He will be an in-house wellness team of trainers, nutritionists and wellbeing counsellors.
