ABSTRACT
This chapter attempts to make sense of the way discussions about food, health/fitness and the body in urban India are changing, especially within the context of being and belonging to the urban middle classes. For this it builds on ethnographic material collected via conversations and interviews with gym trainers and their clients within a small neighbourhood gym in South Delhi. Furthermore, it engages with studies and publications that have appeared in popular (Indian) media that zoom in on changing middle-class food habits and growing concerns over obesity and related diseases in India.
