Jinder Mahal has undergone a complete transformation over the past few years. It wasn’t all that long ago that Jinder was a member of 3MB, and now he’s the current WWE Champion and the top heel on SmackDown Live.
Jinder’s body has gone through some significant changes and some fans have accused the WWE Champion of taking steroids. Mahal recently spoke to GQ about his diet and workout routine and he says he travels with frozen meals and half his suitcase is filled with supplements. Jinder says he also drinks two gallons of water a day and does cardio six days a week. As far as the accusations go, he says that people just don’t see the work he puts in.
I don’t think people realize the hard work that goes into it. Nobody sees the work I’m putting in the gym. Nobody sees me doing cardio first thing in the morning. Nobody sees me lugging around that suitcase. And just generally, people don’t have that much knowledge about diet and the effects that diet alone can have on your body. If you see a bodybuilder before they’re in competition shape to when they get into competition shape, that’s all dieting, carb cutting, and macronutrients. I mean, you can totally transform yourself just by cutting carbs and even something as simple as drinking a gallon of water a day. The average person—like, 90 percent of the average population—is dehydrated. That’s another thing that I do now, which has been a huge key.
Athough Jinder often carries meals that are already prepared, if he’s ever in a bind and needs to eat at a fast food restaurant the current WWE Champion says Chipotle is his go-to spot.
“You can actually eat very clean at Chipotle. They have white rice, they have brown rice, and they have chicken. I stay away from the guac and the sour cream. I just get lettuce, double-meat chicken, and a white or brown rice. Sometimes you don’t realize how bad you feel from just eating out all the time at fast food places. I haven’t eaten McDonald’s or any other fast food in I don’t know how long. Not even pizza.”
