Now, her longtime nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has pulled the curtain back on what truly keeps Kareena fit, healthy and glowing. Diet Hasn't Changed Since 2009 According to Rujuta, Kareena has been following the same basic meal plan for over 15 years. From khichdi with ghee to early dinners, her routine proves that sustainability, not trends, is key. Daily meal structure The actress reportedly eats a handful of almonds, raisins, or figs and for breakfast she follows it up with a helping of Poha or paratha. For lunch, the diva has dal-rice or cheese toast and a mango or mango milkshake for her evening snack. And dinner? Khichdi or pulao — always with ghee. Kareena reportedly eats khichdi up to five times a week, especially while at home. On sets, she prefers dal and rice, and leans towards roti and sabzi when home. 'It Works. It Keeps Me Happy.' Talking at the launch of Diwekar's new book Mitahara, Food Wisdom From My Indian Kitchen, Kareena earlier had revealed, 'My cook is exhausted because I make him make the same food for 10-15 days… Same dal-rice, dahi-rice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [화제] 갱년기 불면증으로 고생하셨던 분들 '이것' 먹고 푹 주무세요! 리피어라 더 알아보기 Undo He asks, 'What am I cooking?'
