Alia s diet

Alia defied her temptations and followed a strict diet. She ensured that she eliminated all the junk and unhealthy foods from her diet. She strictly abides by her diet chart designed for her by her nutrition expert. She follows a low-carb and high-protein diet which includes a bountiful of nutrient rich foods such as papaya, salad and oatmeal. She also makes it a point to drink plenty of water throughout the day and take her vitamin supplements. She goes for cheat meal ones a week but makes sure that she consumes everything in moderation. Here is her diet plan:

  • For her breakfast, she has a bowl of cornflakes or poha with a vegetable or egg white sandwich.
  • Her mid-morning menu usually includes a glass of vegetable juice along with a fruit.
  • For lunch, she prefers eating dal, roti and some vegetable.
  • In tea-time, she drinks a cup of tea or coffee without sugar.
  • Her dinner includes vegetables, rice, with a bowl of dal or with a piece of chicken breast.

Exercise routine

The actress worked out thrice a week in the gym with immense focus on her cardio regimen as well as weight training to tone her muscles. Her schedule consisted of the following exercises:

  • Dumbbell raises
  • Push-ups
  • Bicep curls
  • Lat pull-down
  • Triceps push down
  • Crunches
  • Back extensions
  • Lunges
  • Squats
  • Running on the treadmill

She did at least 3 sets of each of these with 15-20 reps in each set. Besides this, Alia also practised other sports like kick-boxing, swimming, running, altitude training, etc. After all, she had to lose 16 kg in a mere three months. But no workout works without a proper diet and Alia had to give up eating many of her favourites like French fries. She was put on a low-carb, high protein, fibrous diet which included foods like yoghurt, oats, salads, fresh fruits; and excluded junk food, refined flour and sugar.

Her dedication and hard work continue even after her drastic weight loss. In order to keep looking fit, the actress follows the following routine.

She does cardio every single day for 30-45 minutes. She is also a big fan of dancing and tries to explore different forms whenever she can. She loves kathak and ballet. Alia also alternates between altitude and weight training to make her body stronger, and practises ashtanga yoga two days in a week. This helps her stay calm and also keeps her skin glowing. Her healthy diet continues the same way but now, she s allowed one cheat day where she indulges in her cravings such as noodles, diet soft drinks or the occasional burger with fries.

Yoga secrets

Alia maintains her svelte figure by practicing Ashtanga yoga. She also attributes her butiful skin and her radiant looks to yoga. She starts with a few cycles of Surya Namaskar in the morning followed by stretching yoga postures which give her a good cardiovascular workout, helping her to be in shape. Did you know Deepika Padukone also swears by yoga?
