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.
Surya Namaskara (50 times)
Pranayama, Bikram yoga also known as hot yoga
Naukasana (for abs) Bhujangasana (for back)
Kapalbharti (breathing exercise)
Parvatsana and Virabhadra (for arms and legs)
She starts her day with yoga sessions which runs around 90 minutes. Her cardio regimen involves running, swimming, and biking. She also combines Pilates with her yoga sessions every alternate day.

.The actor got into a complete vegeterian nutritious diet which consisted of soups, green vegetables salad, fruits, yogurt and other such flattening food which are less in calories, rich supplier of proteins, vitamins and minerals.But eing a foodie she does not refrain from literally canceling out all what she likes. All she does is ensure that she eats on ‘favorites’ in moderation and works out.
She insists that balance is key to a healthy lifestyle and as such, one need not ban oneself from eating what they like.
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.
She emphasizes on taking in the right and balanced amounts of carbs and proteins.

Kareena believes in the ‘Don’t lose out, work out’ mantra for fitness. Its not always necessary to achieve the zero size but what we can learn from Kareena's regime is a healthy diet and a good workout can ensure you some amazing and drastic results.

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 !
Until next time,
Stay Gorgeous,

PRODUCT REVIEW: BENEFIT SUGARGLAM FAIRIES HOLIDAY SET 2014
During the Holiday
season all companies come up with alluring sets. And when it comes to holiday sets;
Benefit is one of them which really offer some of the very awesome deals. Today,
I will be doing a short review on the BENEFIT SUGARGLAM FAIRIES Holiday Set.
SugarGlam Fairies is
one of the sets launched by Benefit for Holiday Season 2014. It contains a
combination of four products. It costs is $45 while its actual worth is around $95
if all products bought separately. Let’s have a view of it.
The package comes in a
House shape tin container, which has a cute colorful design printed over it
depicting a cake shop.Its looks more like a cute candy box . This tin is a keepsake for later on to store your makeup stash or any other stuff after you take out the inside products.
The inside of the set
has a red plastic packing which encloses all the products inside it.
The package consists of
three full size products and one deluxe size sampler.
It includes:
- One Full size Benefit Porefessional Face
Primer 22.0 ml
- One Full size They‘re
real Mascara
- One full size Hoola
Bronzer
- One deluxe size
Benetint
This set was a really a good buy for me saving
me a whole lot of buck.as the Porefessional ,and the Mascara are one of my most
essentials in my makeup stash and I run out of them pretty fast. And Hoola is
one of my contouring must haves. And the Benetint is a lovely tint comes in a
tiny cute size and its really travel/purse friendly. I’ already own all the
products this was my stock up, I’ll review all the products separately.
Overall this set is a
great buy if you use these products regularly or were just looking out to try
some of the benefit products then this set is a must buy.
Only one suggestion I
have is about the packaging, the tin packing is no doubt really cute but I’m
not a fan of keeping such boxes for storage s, so I may be ultimately discarding
it. Rather than spending on the tin packing, they could have considered adding
a simple cardboard box with an addition of another deluxe sampler which would
have made this set even a much more attractive buy.
Hope, this was helpful to you.

But how you plan this 1200 calories is extremely important, that if you plan to eat healthy food or just deicide to eat 1200 calories of worth chocolate, fries or other fatty things which will not help in losing the weight instead will increase the fatigue because high fat content foods will hardly be half of the meal only calculating in 1200 calories.
