Alyy’s wife, Chandni, who joined the interview, added insights into John’s strict lifestyle choices. She mentioned that John’s ability to maintain his physique at the age of 51 is attributed to his disciplined diet, which includes sugar-free alternatives and abstaining from alcohol and smoking for over 25 years. “The reason he can take off his shirt at this age is because he hasn’t tasted sugar in 25 years,” she said.
Alyy explained, “I asked him, ‘What’s your poison then?’ And he said he only has sugar-free alternatives. I asked, ‘Alcohol’, and he said, ‘Never tasted it’. I asked, ‘Cigarettes?’ And he said he’s never smoked. Alyy then asked, “But you must have some vice… Is this body a result of only protein and meat?” John told him that he’s a vegetarian.

John has previously discussed his commitment to leading a healthy lifestyle during his chat with Shilpa Shetty. He talked about the importance of diet, exercise, and adequate sleep, referring to them as the pillars of fitness. He also mentioned that he tries to lead a ‘farmer’s life.’
“You can eat healthy if you think like that. You have to be goal-oriented. Diet, and eating right are the most important. I believe and always say that fitness is like a tripod stand. Good food, good exercise, and good sleep. Without any of them, the tripod falls,” he had said.

John had also shared his daily routine, which includes waking up at 4:30 am and avoiding sugary treats for nearly three decades. “It has been 27 years. It has been a long time. I do not have aerated drinks. I believe, and I guess, you do the same… that sugar is the biggest poison in the world. More than cigarette smoking,” he had said.
