For many foodies, following a healthy diet consistently can be a big challenge. Substituting our favourite snacks and indulgent ingredients with more nutritious alternatives takes a lot of perseverance. Furthermore, getting used to the taste of the healthier dishes also takes some time. When trying to eat healthier, many of us grapple with cravings and are tempted to return to our old habits. A recent reel related to this topic by comedian Gaurav Kapoor has received a lot of interest online. The now-viral video has clocked more than 18 million views on Instagram so far.

In the reel, Gaurav can be seen talking to someone off-camera, who is meant to fulfil the role of a server at a restaurant. Gaurav spells out his orders for certain types of food and drink, while the text on the video tells us what has triggered his cravings. For instance, "after drinking almond milk coffee for two days," he asks for coffee with milk that is full cream and full fat. Not almond milk or any other such alternative would do. As a sweetener, he says he doesn't want jaggery or maple syrup. Rather, he requests "anti-food farmer, white processed sugar".
"After eating millet noodles once," he is seen ordering a veg Manchurian with noodles that are specifically made of maida (refined flour). He also asks for Ajinomoto to be added to the dish and provided on the side for "taste". Furthermore, he insists that the Manchurian be red in colour. He clarifies that they don't have to necessarily use edible colours, but "water colour would also do".
"After eating quinoa beans bowl once", he is seen ordering "white processed rice" with a layer of rajma on top. He says that the beans should be polished, not organic. "Nothing from farm to me. Farm to pesticide to factory and after tasty processing then to me".
As part of his bit titled "Green Tea After Effects," he asks for "brown colour chai" with milk and sugar.
