Dipa Karmakar enjoys a 'Champions Diet' at a hotel in Juhu

Dipa Karmakar with Chef Jerson Fernandes

After her heroics at the Rio Olympics, gymnast Dipa Karmakar quickly became the darling of the nation. So, it follows that the people at Jeon, a restaurant in a Juhu hotel, were only too happy when she dropped in for a meal. But being a sportsperson means she follows a strict diet. So, how did the chef take care of Dipa's diet, India's first female gymnast to compete in the Olympics.

"We were extremely sensitive to her dietary discipline and prepared food that included natural grains and ancient millets, and had no sugar or carbohydrates," Chef Jerson Fernandes who is an executive chef at Hotel Seaprincess in Juhu told mid-day diarist.

Chef Jerson Fernandes took to Instagram to welcome the star to the hotel and shared the good news with his followers. Here's what the chef shared:
