Woman who lost 23 kg in 5 months shares 5 things she gave up to reach her fitness goals: ‘I stuck to home food'
Losing weight isn't just about diet and exercise, it's often about making tough lifestyle choices and staying committed through highs and lows. When done right, it transforms more than just your body, it reshapes your mindset and habits. Nutritionist Simrun Chopra who shed an impressive 23 kg in just 5 months shared in her March 11 Instagram post the five major things she had to give up to stay on track and hit her fitness goals. (Also read: Woman who dropped 25 kilos in a year shares 6 unpopular weight loss tips for drastic transformation ) A post shared by Simrun Chopra (@ If you're serious about your weight loss journey, eating out frequently might need to take a backseat. "For those 5 months, my priority was only my weight and my back," she says. "So I stuck to home food and, at most, ate out once a week. I even carried food to a friend's house once for dinner!" You may love crunchy, fried treats, but they're often loaded with empty calories that don't support your goals. "The added calories just weren't worth the effort I was putting in," she explains. "My goal was my priority. I knew the food wasn't running away, it was only for a short period." Say goodbye to sugary drinks if you're aiming to cut calories. That includes juices, smoothies, sodas, and cocktails. "No juices, smoothies outside, no aerated drinks, mocktails, or cocktails," Simrun says. "Instead, I switched to plain soda because I love cold fizzy drinks." Social events can be fun, but if they compromise your sleep or workout schedule, it's okay to step back. "I worked out in the morning, and if going out meant I'd miss my workout, I would not go out, or I'd come back early," says Simrun. Love sweets? You're not alone. But if they're your weakness, moderation is key. "I would max taste a tiny spoon from someone," she says. "For me, sweets were a weakness, and this worked much better for me."

‘Agar aapke muscles strong nahi hain…': Bhagyashree reiterates the importance of spinal stability and good posture as one ages
The latest installment of Bhagyashree's 'Tuesday Tips' on Instagram delves into spinal stability, which is crucial in strengthening back muscles and improving posture. As part of the same, the actor shared three exercises she regularly does in her home gym to stay fit and healthy. 'Agar aapke muscles strong nahi hain, bone density ko barkarar rakhna mushkil hota hai (If your muscles aren't strong, it becomes difficult to maintain bone density),' she said in the video, adding that it is imperative to exercise along with increasing one's calcium intake to prevent osteoporosis. 'As you age, the fear of falling down and breaking your bones increases with decreasing bone density. The way to keep osteoporosis at bay is to keep working those muscles, helping to lubricate joints by increasing calcium and collagen intake. But more essentially exercising, because that is what will increase bone-building cells and reduce the porosity of bones,' she captioned her post. Talking about the importance of strengthening back muscles, yoga expert Anadi Sharma said spinal stability is foundational in yoga — it supports physical balance and energetic alignment. 'A strong, stable spine is key to maintaining good posture, preventing injuries, and allowing free flow of breath and prana,' he explained. According to him, the exercises Bhagyashree practices — planks, glute bridges, and dynamic stretches — mirror many asanas that engage the core and back. These movements strengthen the deep stabiliser muscles around the spine, improve posture, and help the body remain centred throughout daily activities. For anyone living a sedentary lifestyle, they're incredibly effective in realigning and re-energising the spine. Further shedding light on spinal stability, fitness expert Deepika Sharma said it goes beyond just a stiff back or six-pack abs — it's about integrated control. 'Your spine is the central pillar of your body, designed for mobility, not rigidity, but it also needs support from the surrounding musculature to function safely under load, stress, or repetitive use,' she shared. • Neuromuscular control — your brain's ability to fire the right muscles at the right time • Co-contraction of core muscles — especially the transverse abdominis, multifidus, and pelvic floor • Dynamic adaptability — the spine's ability to stay stable even during movement or sudden force Sharma said that it's not just about back health, but an effort to improve posture, athletic performance, injury resilience (especially for the lower back and hips) and even breathing and digestion by improving core pressure regulation. Planks activate the deep core muscles (not just rectus abdominis), promote isometric stability (your body resists movement, which trains endurance in spinal stabilizers) and can be progressed easily: forearm planks, side planks, plank with arm lifts, etc. A strong plank results in a spine that can handle load without compensation or collapse. Glutes are essential stabilizers for the pelvis, which directly supports spinal alignment. It helps combat anterior pelvic tilt, often caused by long hours of sitting and strengthens posterior chain (glutes, hamstrings) without spinal compression. Weak glutes means lower back overwork means pain and compensation patterns. Improve joint mobility in hips, shoulders, and thoracic spine — reducing compensatory strain on lumbar spine, and preps the nervous system for safe movement by activating stabilizing muscles through range of motion.

‘Maybe my body is a little desi': Govinda's daughter Tina Ahuja shares her trick to ease period cramps
Govinda's wife Sunita and daughter Tina Ahuja recently opened up about the actor's life, along with their experiences with motherhood, diet, spiritual journeys and healthy living. When the conversation shifted to the trials and tribulations of period pain, Tina shared her two cents on how a lot of young girls face debilitating menstrual cramps, which, she claimed, can be solved by improving lifestyle and making necessary changes. 'Maybe my body is a little desi. I have never had any back pain. Everything is perfect, 28-day cycle. But, here I see girls always talking about…You eat your ghee, stop dieting so much, you have a good night's sleep, and everything becomes normal. Most of the girls diet so much looking at Instagram, listening to it, that problems which don't even exist happen,' she told Hauterrfly. Curious, contacted an expert to find out the efficiency of ghee in allaying period pain. N Sapna Lulla, Lead Consultant – Obstetrics & Gynecology, Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore, said that period pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, is a common issue many women face during their menstrual cycle. 'It occurs due to the contraction of the uterus as it sheds its lining, which can lead to discomfort and cramping. Hormones called prostaglandins are released during this process, and higher levels of these hormones can result in more intense pain,' she explained. Factors such as stress, lack of exercise, and certain medical conditions can also contribute to the severity of period pain. 'Ghee, a type of clarified butter, is rich in healthy fats and can help reduce inflammation in the body. It is believed that incorporating ghee into the diet can provide warmth and nourishment, which may help reduce cramps. However, while ghee can be a part of a balanced diet, it is essential to maintain moderation and not rely solely on it for pain relief,' said Dr Lulla. She suggested several simple strategies to prevent and treat period pain, starting with regular exercise, which helps improve blood circulation and reduce cramps. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also support overall health. 'Applying heat to the lower abdomen, practicing relaxation techniques, and considering over-the-counter pain relief medications can provide much-needed comfort during menstruation,' the expert said.
