The recently concluded Lakme Fashion week saw Kareena Kapoor in a sizzling avatar. She set the ramp on fire in designer Amit Aggarwal's creations. The best was the finale night when she walked the ramp in an off-shoulder emerald green gown. The Bollywood star had her hair styled in a sleek bun and she let her smokey eyes do all the talking. Kareena, who started off as a size zero actress had put on a lot of weight after her delivery. But now she is back on track and is looking as irresistible as ever.
Besides a rigorous exercise regime, her diet also played an important role in this transformation. Kareena is a self-confessed foodie. She unabashedly loves her parathas and desi ghee. Yes, we know most weightwatchers will probably roll their eyes at this. But the amazing new look that the actress is currently flaunting proves that you can enjoy your food and lose weight too.
This Bollywood actor gives a holistic twist to the whole idea of dieting to lose weight. And, skipping meals is a big 'no' for her. But to get rid of all the extra kilos that she gained post-delivery, she followed nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar's 8-meals a day strategy.
Let us see what her meals look like.
First thing in the morning, instead of bed tea, Diwekar recommended soaked black raisins with kesar.
One parantha, can be stuffed with seasonal vegetables, with a chutney of choice. A dollop of ghee on top and you have the perfect combination of carbs, fibre, fat and protein.
A glass of hydrating coconut water with a pinch of basil seeds.
Curd rice and one papad. This promotes digestive health and is good for weight loss.
Walnut and organic cheese for a blast of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fibre, calcium and iron.
Banana milkshake to curb cravings and banish hunger pangs.
Khichdi and curd or vegetable pulao. A perfect diet food, this is light on the stomach and help you sleep better.
This is two hours after dinner. A cup of warm milk or a banana shake. But this is only if you feel hungry. Otherwise, give it a miss.
