Eat Good Food Resolution 2020 with Gourmet Passport: Sunita Totakura

She is a well known face in Hyderabad, seen at some popular restaurants. However one cannot help envy her trim figure while she enjoys her food too. As we celebrate Eat Good Food with Gourmet Passport, Resolution 2020, it was all the more important to let Sunita Totakura reveal her magic fitness mantra.


A Stay-at-home mom, fitness freak, food enthusiast, voracious reader who loves to travel and explore. Here's Sunita spilling the beans on how she manages it all:

1. What does a healthy lifestyle mean to you? 


Healthy lifestyle for me means eating the right food at the right time. Once a while indulgence is perfectly fine, no need to deprive oneself of a dessert or a biryani completely. Portion control is important. And staying moderately active even on days you're not hitting the gym.


2. Can one continue to eat out when trying to be fit?

Yes, one can continue to eat out when trying to be fit. There are numerous restaurants currently that offer healthy food. And one can always do portion control when eating the not so healthy options.


3. What are some of your favourite 'healthy' gourmet dining destinations in the city?

One of my favourite healthy eating joints is Alive Cafe. Their Buddha bowls are not just healthy, they're delicious and filling.



4. How can one make fitness a part of their daily life? What's the best way to start?

One doesn't necessarily have to hit the gym to stay fit. A long, leisurely stroll around your home or park, playing
sports, etc is good enough. The best way to start is to incorporate small things into your daily life......using stairs instead of an elevator, walking around the house while talking on the phone, a short session of yoga, etc. It can slowly be extended once you get used to it.


5. What's your favourite form of workout? How did you begin? 

My favourite form of workout is long distance running. I run half marathons. I practice everyday by running 5-10 kms. I also strength train. To begin, start with short distance and low speed and slowly build distance and speed. Be consistent and disciplined in practice.
