Intermittent Fasting, Hyderabad Food Trails & Life Before Zomato | Unscripted Routes Ep. 25

Episode 25 of Unscripted Routes starts with a continuation of our discussion on fitness, weight loss, and healthy eating habits. We talk about intermittent fasting, why it worked better than restrictive diets, how simple changes like controlling portions can make a big difference, and why sustainable habits are often more effective than extreme approaches. We also discuss switching to olive oil, healthier cooking choices, and the challenge of maintaining any diet in a typical Indian household. From there, the conversation takes a completely different turn — food. And a lot of it. We revisit our college days in Hyderabad when discovering new restaurants was one of our favorite hobbies. Long before food delivery apps, restaurant reviews, and influencers became common, finding a good place to eat meant exploring the city yourself. We talk about old hangout spots, college memories, attendance struggles, early smartphone days, and the restaurants that became part of our student life. From Chinese food near college and buffet outings to grilled chicken, shawarmas, Afghani cuisine, Arabian restaurants, and authentic mandi — we share some of our favorite food memories from Hyderabad over the years. The discussion also explores how growing up in Saudi Arabia influenced our food preferences and why we're always drawn to Arabian, Lebanese, and Middle Eastern cuisine whenever we find it. A nostalgic conversation about food, friendships, student life, and the places that become part of our story. No script. Just two friends thinking out loud. 🔔 Subscribe — new episodes every week on Unscripted Routes. Follow us:   / routesunscripted   Myfoodbite:   / myfoodbite
