Alia Bhatt’s Diet Secrets (Personal Tips)

• Moderation is the key to any weight loss goal.
• Avoid soft drinks, sugar and white rice completely. They contain nothing but calories.
• Eat a balanced combination of proteins (50%), carbs (30%) and fats (20%).
• Healthy carbs and fat are a must for optimal health and hence you should not avoid them. The problem shows up only when you have them in excess.
• Have lots of vegetables in your diet. If you can’t have them raw, try to prepare a vegetable juice along with some fruits in them (for taste) or simply make a vegetable soup.
• Keep small goals and give yourself a treat with your favorite food (desserts, cheese pizza etc… in moderation)when you achieve them. This motivates you to continue your journey.
• Don’t neglect exercise. Although, may not direct help you lose weight, exercise makes your skin tight after losing weight.
• Finally, drink lots of water every day. The more water you drink, the more toxins will be flushed out from your body, making you lose that water weight along. Try to aim for at least 3 to 4 liters per day.
