Posing with a scrumptious heart-shaped jalebi, Milind shared in the caption, “Do I eat jalebi's ?? Of course.. sometimes Fitness, to me, means a life of freedom, not restriction.. to be able to enjoy everything that life and the world have to offer (sic).”

He added, “We all know what food is good and bad for us, all I do is eat more of the good and minimize the bad ! So more vegetables and fruits, very little refined sugar.. (sic).” Milind concluded by revealing, “I eat more whole food and minimize the over processed, over packaged and over refined....When it comes to food, I believe that 'when' and 'how much' are more important than what ..#health #love #peace (sic).”

Jalebi is the crisp and sweet Indian comfort food that is made of fried fermented dough in pretzel or circular shapes and soaked in sugar syrup. This popular sweet snack is also known as jilapi, jilebi, jilipi, zulbia, jerry, mushabak or zalabia.
