Ready Set Do w/ Naman

Does "healthy eating" mean boiled chicken, tasteless broccoli, and zero happiness?

For most busy bachelors, the choice is usually binary: Order takeout and feel guilty, or try to cook "healthy" and end up eating cardboard. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can lose fat, build muscle, and actually enjoy your food—without spending hours in the kitchen or hiring a private chef.

In this episode, we sit down with Gaurav Khanna, who dropped a massive 23 kgs (50 lbs) while working a demanding job. He didn't do it by starving himself; he did it by hacking the "Bachelor Kitchen."

Gaurav breaks down the exact system he used to automate his nutrition. We discuss why crash diets always fail, the "Tim Ferriss" rules for fat loss that actually work, and how to cook delicious, high-protein Indian meals that fit into a busy schedule.

If you are confused about counting calories, wondering if you need protein shakes, or just looking for a way to stop relying on UberEats, this conversation is your starter kit. We cover everything from the importance of probiotics (the gut health cheat code) to the "Brian Johnson" approach to longevity—simplified for normal people.

🚀 In this video, we cover:• The Bachelor Meal Prep System: How to cook once and eat well all week.• Fat Loss vs. Muscle Gain: Adjusting your macros without going crazy.• The "Don't Drink Your Calories" Rule: The easiest way to lose weight.• Grocery Shopping Hacks: How to read labels and avoid "fake healthy" foods (using apps like Yuka).• Supplements & Probiotics: What you actually need vs. marketing hype.• Sustainability: How to eat the same meals without getting bored.

Whether you are trying to shed the "freshman 15" or optimize your diet for peak performance, this is a practical guide to taking control of your plate. No fancy equipment required—just a willingness to learn the basics.
