Which isn't the real deal. she did not crash-diet to lose those 20 lbs for her ‘size-zero’ figure nor does she endorse the same, but she achieved the ‘fabulous result’ through a carefully regimented diet plan and her highly efficacious workout sessions. The actor followed a healthy diet and fitness regime to lose weight.

Kareena lives on a 100% vegetarian diet. Her diet is healthy and nutritious and is based on day’s schedule and the amount of physical activity required during the day.
Unlike most people, she does not start her day with tea or coffee.Her day starts with fruit or milk. For breakfast, Kareena goes for museli or chillah (bread slices) and milk. Every three hours she takes light snack like nuts or soy milk or sandwich.
Lunch for Kareena consists of chapatis and dal with lots of green veggies and minus any rice and fatty foods though she loves cheese and occasionally pairs it up with a sandwich.
During dinner, she keeps it very light: dal with chapati or soup and green salad.
She makes sure to drink at least 6-8 glasses of boiled water every day.

Now that you know the secret behind how Kareena maintains her svelte figure, I don’t think there’s any reason to hold back. Remember, Kareena Kapoor says,
“Have a clear soul, eat a balanced diet, at right time, and be in sync with the local food and climatic conditions. This will keep you calm, quiet, and balanced inside as well outwardly give you the best of your physical persona as well as your looks.”
So, DON’T LOSE OUT, WORK OUT !

meat, fish can be rated as the most beneficial amongst them. Replace your meat
intake with fish to get a good refueling of Omega 3 oils within your body. One of them which cater
the most benefits in terms of weight loss is Salmon. Salmon is high in protein,
which makes the body to use more energy aka calories to digest it compared to
what is needed to digest fat. And all the fat that salmon has its all good
stuff, its helps your body to develop your immune system, adds glow to your
skin rather than settling up on your abs. Salmon interacts with a hormone
leptin which helps in burning of calories faster.
4. GRAPEFRUIT.
A recent study shows that people who consume at least half a grapefruit or its juice before meals led to triggering weight loss and it helps reducing the belly fat. And other than working for weight loss grapefruit also helps to keep your hunger in control and has properties for preventing bloating. Grapefruits sour taste has always been a turn down but if you really want to say bye bye to your belly bulge than add in this wonder fruit in your diet.

up your waistline is has still more to offer for your health. It lowers down
triglyceride levels, so they protect against heath diseases but they also help

definitely worth a try.
TOP 5 WAIST SHRINKING FOODS
“Simple tricks” ads for weight loss do them actually deliver what they promise for. Is there is any science or logic behind them? And what is the secret which makes some diets more belly fat banishing as compared to others.
In reducing the waist line its turns out that it’s not only about which foods that you cut out from your diet. It’s also important that with what foods you are replacing them with. Things that you should add in your diet should aid your body with nutrients, keep hunger pangs away, keep you full for longer time and reduce the cravings.
There are some foods to which dieters always turn, to aid the weight loss journey, for their belly fat banishing properties. From all those super foods here are my top 5 picks…
1. ALMONDS:
Most of the nuts, if taken unsalted and raw, they are a powder house of nutrition. Despite of they being very high in fat, they are one of the best picks for dieter because all of their fats and oils are healthy. And they create protein and all kinds of chemicals that help to keep the energy levels high and keep the brain more active.
Research says that adding a handful of almonds in a healthy controlled diet can help reduce abdominal fat at a much higher rate. Add a simple munch of handful of almonds instead of a chocolate bar snack.
Catechins present in green tea not only encourage the release of fats from the fat cells but it also increases metabolism. And it also boosts the liver’s ability to process food much better. So, have a good warm cup of green tea now after meals to have maximum benefits from it.
