Having a workout and diet regimen that is sustainable and easy-to-do is key to ensure follow-through, and Kareena Kapoor Khan knows that well. The actor, and now second-time expecting mom has been working with nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar for years, and the two often work together to tweak Kapoor Khan's routine in accordance to her needs. What's not on the menu? A strict diet that is too hard to maintain. Im a Kapoorwe love our foodand I cant diet," she shared in 2018.
Earlier this week, Rujuta Diwekar shared the food schedule that Kapoor Khan was following while working on for her latest at-home Filmfare cover, with a snapshot of the shoot. The star was already expecting at this time, and the menu in Diwekar's in-depth caption revealed a glimpse at her pregnancy diet. When Kapoor Khan was in her first trimester back in May and June 2020, Diwekar made sure to include carbs, fats and proteins in a balanced manner to her diet, so that Kapoor Khan was satiated throughout. Her first meal was soaked almonds or bananas for some quick energy, after which she completed a workout. Grains like rice and wheat are an important component of one's diet, particularly while pregnant. Lunch and dinner included rice-based dishes and yoghurt (with papad too!) or a roti with a vegetable or sabzi like paneer.
Before bedtime, Kapoor Khan drank turmeric milk with nutmeg, an immune-boosting and sleep-inducing drink, as well. Since having snack options for in-between important is important to prevent binge-eating something else, Diwekar also shared her picks for those: fresh fruit, yoghurt with nuts, coconut water, lemon sherbet or buttermilk with black pepper and asafoetida.
While pregnancy diets differ from person to person (which means this exact diet may not always work for you!), Kareena Kapoor Khan's pre-baby food routine so far has been quite easy-to-follow. Even back in 2015, before she was pregnant with her son Taimur, the actor was on the healthy food train. I eat a lot of green leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach and fenugreek, and I dont believe in cutting down the carbs in my diet. I try to eat something healthy every two to three hours. My breakfast usually comprises upma or paranthas (without oil), muesli or idlis. For lunch, its the usual roti, or brown rice, with dal and vegetables. At night I like to keep it light with a soup and some stir-fried veggies. I make sure to include lots of salads and fresh fruits in my diet, she confirmed.
But before that, Kapoor Khan has also been honest about the mistakes she's made while dieting in her 20s. On a radio interview, she once shared, I did a lot of foolish things in the past without knowing the repercussions.Mentally, I used to feel low and down and irritable. When I first started my journey to fitness, main ek galti hamesha karti thi. Basically I used to constantly try these water diets, or I would constantly try and change my diets every two days, she said, sharing that she would often skip rice and roti in the effort to stop eating carbs.
Mixing up a workout routine can keep you from getting bored and keeps the body balanced. According to Rujuta Diwekar's Instagram post, Kareena Kapoor Khan included both sprints and endurance-building runs on the treadmill, yoga, a strength training workout, and a core workout with rest days interspersed in between during the first three months of her pregnancy. Switching between high intensity and low intensity exercises can help the body heal and build in the most efficient and sustainable manner. Allowing for break days is important toomuscles can heal and regenerate during those periods.
