D eepika Padukone’s diet secrets

To maintain her slim figure, Deepika makes sure that she eats healthy and steers clear of junk and sugary foods as much as she can. Her diet consists of a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables that are rich dietary fibre, proteins, complex carbs, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants - all of which can help you lose weight and improve overall health. She also includes grilled fish that packed with omega- 3 fatty acids in her lunch. She stays hydrated by drinking water, coconut water, smoothies, buttermilk and natural juices. The actress eats her meals at regular times. She avoids non- veg and rice at nights. Deepika, who has a very good metabolic rate, also doesn’t smoke. Deepika, who battled depression, revealed that it was the athlete in her that gave me the strength to fight and never ever give up - remember, the sexy curvaceous heroine was a badminton player before setting her foot in the film industry. Besides making healthier food choices, she also follows a strict fitness regimen, which is a combination of cardio, weight training, dance, and Yoga exercises.

The actress also includes Pilates in her fitness routine. Recently, celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala, who introduced Deepika to Pilates a few years ago, took to Instagram to post a video in which the actress can be seen doing some Pilates workout.
