TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT!!!

Greek God Bod!

More actors should learn from Hrithik Roshan! Not just revealing their unflattering pictures, but also his new diet regime! Honestly, I don't know any actor who would post a picture of his flabby self. Although, what caught my attention more, was what Hrithik had to say about his diet and his healthy new self. And I couldn't agree more with the actor!


Now I may not have that sexy body Hrithik carries, but I do know for a fact that starving is not the answer to weight loss. Not that I would ever starve myself for anything in the world! I'm too much of a foodie to do that! But Hrithik says exactly what I have been practicing for the last 5 years and advising my family and close friends too! The answer to weight loss is in eating small meals through the day! 6 to 8 small meals every 2 hours. Of course, that doesn't mean burgers, pizzas or doughnuts every 2 hours!

My Fitness Guru... 5 years ago at Kajol's Lonavala home!

For the last 5 years I have been following a healthy, nutritious diet, thanks to Kajol. 5 years ago, when she lost a substantial amount of weight in such little time, I asked her the secret. She just looked at me and asked me, "What secret?" She laughed and continued, "I'm not on any diet Ryan. I eat everything. It's just that I eat them in small portions, every two hours." And that's when she explained how her food consisted of low carbs and high protein.




My day begins with a glass of warm water, lime juice and honey. For breakfast, around 9 am, I have a glass of raw, mixed vegetable juice - Ashgourd, Red Pumpin, Beetroot, Carrot, Celery and Mint, a bowl of fruits, an egg white omelette & chicken sausages. I do alternate it with dosas/idlis or poha and perhaps on a Sunday, I'll indulge myself with Poori Bhaji or Aloo Paratha. Although the vegetable juice is a must everyday.  At 11, I have a small portion of a salad or a fruit. Lunch at 1 pm is a small bowl of Dal, Sabzi, a small bowl of Rice ( I hate Rotis!), a Salad, sometimes accompanied with a Chicken or a slice of Fish. At 3, again, it's  a small bowl of fruit or sprouts. At 5, a small portion of Poha or an Idli or Utthappa. Dinner is at 8, again a small portion of Rice, Dal, Sabzi/Chicken & Salad. Sometime is is also a Fish Curry Rice or a Grilled Chicken with Salad or A Chicken & Vegetable Stir Fry Noodles.

Bhaav, my Taskmaster at Strut - The Dancemakers!

None of this will help if there is no sort of excercise. And I don't mean hitting the gym. God knows how much I hate getting my ass to the gym! For me it's my boyfriend, Bhaavesh Gandhi's Strut - The Dancemaker's dance class. The first half hour comprises of a killer workout, and the other half, a dance routine. I cannot tell you how energetic I feel. It's like I'm on speed! Of course, I have my days of indulgence... I do not deprive myself of anything... an occasional bout of binging on desserts, junk food or even alcohol... But despite that I cannot escape the 2-hour meals. Somehow your system gets used to it and you'll realise that your stomach automatically demands food after 2 hours. People have looked at me and wondered how I eat the amount I eat and still do not put on weight. The answer to is in eating, and not starving! So, Happy Eating!
