Salman Khan

Fast food packs kilos faster than you’d think and slows down the weight loss process. Even the stuff labelled as zero-fat and low-cal aren’t really good for weight loss. Go the Salman Khan way, who chooses clean sources of protein like chicken, egg whites and fish as opposed to sugar and processed food. Salads and pulses are his sources of carbohydrates. Here are Salman Khan’s fitness secrets.

Kareena Kapoor

Instead of two to three larger meals a day like people would normally eat, start eating 6 small and low-calorie meals throughout the day. Spread it out evenly for the time you wake up till about 8 pm.  Kareena Kapoor strictly follows this rule to maintain her body. Post her morning tea/coffee, she indulges in her breakfast of a bowl of muesli with nuts or two parathas and yoghurt. Her lunch and dinner consists of chapatis with lots of green vegetables and dal. In between, she digs into a slice of cheese, roasted chana, a fruit, etc. Read why Kareena loves rice. 

Shilpa Shetty

Make it a regular practice to have your last meal before eight in the evening. This way you don’t end up binging on a snack before dinner time. If it’s too hard to resist, have some herbal tea or brush your teeth after dinner immediately so as to switch your mind off from the idea of eating. And yes, make it a habit to sleep early to avoid late-night temptations. Shilpa Shetty confesses, ‘I always eat at least three hours before I go to bed so my body has the chance to work off the calories’. Read how Shilpa lost her post pregnancy weight. 

John Abraham

For John Abraham, his diet’s main attraction lies in his breakfast because he believes in eating ‘king- size’ breakfast which usually includes a big glass of fresh juice, six egg whites, slices of buttered toast and ten almonds. Whether you prefer eggs, yoghurt, poha or oatmeal, getting a healthy breakfast under your belt sets the tone for a day of weight control and fewer calories overall. In fact, research shows that people who start their day with breakfast make healthier choices and have a lower body mass index in general. If we skip breakfast, we tend to make unhealthier choices at lunch. It’s as simple as that. Here are 5 quick and healthy breakfast choices.
