Kareena Kapoor Khan's fitness and diet secrets REVEALED
For nearly two decades, Kareena Kapoor Khan has remained a fitness icon, from her early size zero days in 'Tashan' to post-pregnancy transformations that inspired millions. 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?'

Yoga: The Heart Of Her Fitness Kareena calls yoga 'a part of my soul' and has practiced it for over a decade. While she mixes in Pilates, strength training, and breathing exercises, yoga remains her core practice, one that centers her mentally and physically. A Minimal Yet Powerful Wellness Philosophy Kareena's wellness routine underscores a deeper philosophy. Eat real, seasonal food, move mindfully, respect your body's rhythm and most importantly, stay consistent. For fans looking for a crash diet or magic trick, Kareena's approach may seem 'too simple.' But that's precisely the secret, simplicity that sticks. Kareena Kapoor 'Flirts' with Husband Saif Ali Khan on London Vacation: 'Why So Hot?'

Kareena Kapoor Khan's diet has been the same since 2007, her dietician Rujuta Diwekar lists what the actress eats in her day: 'Khichdi with ghee or pulao for dinner'
Kareena Kapoor Khan 's unwavering approach to food has stood the test of nearly two decades — and it's all thanks to her long-time collaborator, nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar. The duo's association began during the making of Tashan, and since then, Diwekar says Kareena has more or less stuck to the same eating habits for the past 18 years. In fact, Kareena's consistency even played a pivotal role in Diwekar's career — inspiring her debut book Don't Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight, released in 2009. Speaking to The Lallantop, Diwekar detailed Kareena's current food routine: 'Dry fruits like almonds, raisins or figs as soon as she wakes up; paratha or poha for breakfast; dal and rice for lunch; cheese toast (sometimes) or mango/mango milkshake (seasonal) for evening snack; and khichdi with ghee/pulao for dinner.' According to her, Kareena leans toward rice and dal on shoot days, finding them easier to manage on set. On regular days at home, however, roti and sabzi are her go-to lunch. Diwekar also mentioned that khichdi with ghee is Kareena's dinner staple for almost 'four to five days a week.' The actor herself validated these choices while attending the launch of Diwekar's latest book Mitahara: Food Wisdom From My Indian Kitchen earlier this year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo She spoke of the discipline that defines her daily life: 'Dinner by 6 pm, lights out by 9:30 pm, morning workouts before the world wakes up.' Kareena also admitted in a chat with The Nod that late-night events aren't her scene, and that her friends respect her boundaries. Her idea of winding down? Watching Schitt's Creek on low volume before bed. While Kareena's food choices may sound relatable, they've sparked more than a few bizarre rumours over the years. 'The most joyfully ridiculous rumour I've heard about myself is that I eat quinoa and air to maintain my figure,' she quipped in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, during a conversation with Vicky Kaushal. The two also bonded over their mutual Punjabi love for parathas, with Kareena revealing she even had them for breakfast during her infamous size zero phase in Tashan (2007). Reminiscing at the book launch, Kareena also shared a glimpse of her younger self — a 'chubby kid' who had no qualms about finishing an entire bag of chips. And while she's undergone a transformative journey since then, there have been moments of vulnerability too — like after giving birth to her second son, Jeh, in 2021. 'I gained 45 kg,' she said, admitting that the change initially rattled her. But ultimately, she reminded herself of something simple yet powerful — that she had to 'grow to be comfortable in [her] skin again. '

‘Kareena Kapoor is on the same diet since 2007,' reveals dietician Rujuta Diwekar: ‘She has the same dinner four-five times a week'
Kareena Kapoor has piqued the curiosity of her fans for her diet over almost two decades now. Ever since she debuted her 'size zero' figure in Vijay Krishna Acharya's 2008 film Tashan, she's had quite a fitness journey. From becoming mother to two sons to now entering her 40s, she's maintained a healthy lifestyle. Now, her longtime dietician Rujuta Diwekar has revealed that Kareena has been following the same diet, more or less, for 18 years now. Rujuta began working with Kareena while the latter was prepping for Tashan. The dietician even credits Kareena for getting the opportunity to write her first book in 2009 — Don't Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight. That's pretty much been Kareena's diet mantra since then too. In an interview with The Lallantop, Diwekar reveals the breakdown of the actor's diet — 'Dry fruits like almonds, raisins or figs as soon as she wakes up; paratha or poha for breakfast; dal and rice for lunch; cheese toast (sometimes) or mango/mango milkshake (seasonal) for evening snack; and khichdi with ghee/pulao for dinner.' Diwekar pointed out that if Kareena is on set, she usually prefers rice and dal for lunch because rice is more accessible there. Otherwise if at home, she has roti-sabzi for lunch. Diwekar also said that Kareena prefers to have khichdi with ghee for four to five days a week. Kareena also confirmed the same as the special guest at the launch of Diwekar's new book Mitahara: Food Wisdom From My Indian Kitchen earlier this year. 'My cook is exhausted because I make him make the same food for 10-15 days. Same dal-rice, dahi (curd)-rice. He is like, what am I cooking? But I can be really happy eating khichdi five times a week. It works. It keeps me happy with a dollop of ghee,' said the actor. But she also added that she finishes dinner by 6:30 pm and goes to sleep by 9:30 pm everyday. 'Dinner by 6 pm, lights out by 9:30 pm, morning workouts before the world wakes up,' Kareena said in an interview with The Nod. She added that her friends expect her not to show up for late-night parties and respect her for the same. She prefers spending her last hour watching the Emmy Award-winning show Schitt's Creek on low volume at home. Kareena claimed that the most 'joyfully ridiculous rumour' she heard about herself is that she eats quinoa and air to maintain her figure. In a conversation with Vicky Kaushal on The Hollywood Reporter India, Kareena confessed their mutual Punjabi love for parathas and claimed she used to have parathas for breakfast even during her size zero training for Tashan in 2007.

But she told herself that she has to grow to be comfortable in her skin again.
