Shilpa Shetty’s nutrition and workout tips for a toned figure at 49

Shilpa Shetty’s age-defying figure is the result of a nutritious diet and stringent fitness regimen that she has followed for decades. In a previous interview with Complete Wellbeing, the star explained how she keeps in shape, including her go-to workout routines and daily nutrition.

Shilpa stated she is a gourmet and likes eating, but she ‘eats the correct things’. The star said that she ‘keeps one day in the week when she eats anything like cakes, kulfi, and gulab jamuns’, but otherwise maintains a healthy, balanced diet.

My day starts with aloe vera juice. It is great for your immune system; it’s great for your skin. Then I have porridge and tea. I avoid white sugar as far as I can and have only brown sugar. My theory is to replace everything white with brown — be it brown bread brown rice or brown sugar. I don’t eat steamed or boiled food. I eat normal food but cooked in a healthy vegetable oil or olive oil,” Shilpa Shetty told the magazine in 2008.

The actor’s daily diet is balanced and nutritious, and includes a variety of ‘very simple’ foods. She added, “For lunch, I have dal rice [brown] or chapatti and chicken curry and one vegetable. If I am hungry in the evening, I’ll have one brown toast with two eggs and tea and, at night, I try and eat early. I eat a salad, soup and one chicken dish. My diet is very simple. It’s easy to follow.”

Shilpa also spoke about her fitness and said that yoga was ‘a way of life’ for her. But that’s not all that she does. The actor said she does weight training, and alternates it with yoga.
