How did the internet react to his diet

The model ensures he gets enough fibre, vitamins, and minerals from various food sources. While Vinay's diet includes protein-rich foods, fresh fruit and and other convenient meal options for busy models, some Instagram users shared how the his diet may not be suitable for everyone, especially those used to having rice or chapati every day.

Reacting to Vinay avoiding foods high in carbohydrates, such as rice and roti, an Instagram user wrote, “OMG (Oh my God) wow... no rice/rotis?” Another commented, "Brother this is a zero-carbs diet!" Someone also wrote, “No rice and roti?”

A person also asked: “Whey protein twice in a day?” Vinay responded to him with a 'yes'. According to Webmd.com, whey protein is the protein from whey, the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese.

It is commonly used as a protein supplement. Whey protein is a complete protein source that provides essential amino acids for muscle growth and repair. Consuming whey protein twice a day can benefit individuals looking to increase their protein intake, particularly for muscle growth, repair, and overall health.
