Banker-turned-fitness professional Sandeep Sachdev doesn't like calling his new Colaba eatery, Easy Human, a health cafe. He's aware of the stereotypes the term evokes — salads, fruit-and-muesli breakfast and cold pressed juices. "But there's so much [more]. In fact, we serve just about everything," he says. Except pizza, he adds sheepishly. "We wanted a pizza to taste like one. Since we couldn't find the right alternatives, we dropped it," he says. The menu backs his claim. We spot butter chicken (Sachdev's weakness), kulchas, buff burgers, kathi roll, and sweet potato fries. All dishes are more or less modelled on the Paleo diet, which typically excludes grain, dairy, trans fats and highly processed food.

He recalls having embarked on a grain-free diet during acting assignments — he worked with Chitrangada Singh in Sudhir Mishra's Inkaar in 2013 — but that soon translated into a lifestyle choice. But he owes his dietary discipline — eating seven meals a day which includes a mix of carbs and protein — to the reality show, The Biggest Loser, where he emerged victorious post a weight loss of 50.7 kg.
