What is Silambarasan TR's fitness advice for healthy lifestyle

Simbu shares his take on fitness and health, saying, "Actually, we can eat anything at this age." However, he also emphasises the importance of moderation. He advises, “Fitness is something that takes time, and there are no immediate problems right now. But don't take it for granted and spoil yourself, as you will struggle a lot later on.”

He further suggests, "To avoid future health issues, don't sleep immediately after eating a heavy meal." His key advice for maintaining a healthy lifestyle is simple: "Eat a little lighter at night, and even sleep with a slight hunger, and everything will be fine."

How did Simbu lost 30 kgs

Talking about his remarkable fitness journey, Simbu lost around 30 kg in 2020, undergoing a major transformation. In an October 2020 interview with the Times of India, his fitness trainer, Sandeep Raj, shared details of the actor's routine and dedication. "He starts his day at 4:30 AM with a brisk walk, followed by a gym session targeting various body parts. Initially, we worked out four days a week, but now it's five days a week," said Raj.

Sandeep also discussed Simbu's diet changes, saying, "He started by cutting out non-vegetarian and junk foods, then transitioned to alkaline-rich, nutrient-dense foods. Simbu later adopted a calorie-deficient diet and even took up liquid meals." The actor made sure to juice salads he wasn't fond of while focusing on a high-protein, low-carb diet and cooking all his meals.
