Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee recently revealed that he has been skipping dinner for almost 13-14 years. He mentioned that his grandfather’s fitness levels motivated him to follow his habits. While he initially began with just tasting the food to manage his weight, he eventually stopped having dinner altogether.
Manoj Bajpayee’s doctor asked him to have an early last meal. He admitted that his diet pattern is very similar to intermittent fasting. He eats between 9 am to 3 pm.
