Sameera Reddy shares weight loss tips: How to stay strong and age gracefully without extreme diets
Sameera Reddy, a well-known actress and mother of two, has taken a fresh approach to fitness at the age of 46. After years of battling fluctuating weight, Reddy made a commitment to herself to prioritize health and long-term wellness over quick fixes. Her journey began on her birthday, December 14, 2024, and she officially started her routine on January 1, 2025. #Operation Sindoor India-Pakistan Clash Live Updates| Missiles, shelling, and attacks — here's all that's happening Pakistani Air Force jet shot down in Pathankot by Indian Air Defence: Sources India on high alert: What's shut, who's on leave, and state-wise emergency measures In a recent interview with the Indian Express, she opened up about her evolving fitness mindset, emphasizing strength-building, balanced nutrition, and sustainable health practices. A New Beginning at 46 For Sameera, the decision to embark on this new fitness journey came after years of yo-yo dieting. She realized that constantly shifting weight was neither healthy nor sustainable. 'It actually started when I realized that constantly yo-yoing with my weight wasn't sustainable,' she shared. The actress explained how managing her career, motherhood, and a fitness routine could often feel overwhelming, especially as a busy mom. Yet, rather than giving up, Sameera chose to persist and begin anew in 2025 with a focus on balance and long-term wellness. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You might be interested Undo Focusing on Strength Over Skinny In her quest for a more sustainable lifestyle, Sameera emphasized that she no longer views weight loss as the ultimate goal.

My priorities now are building strength, managing my fitness levels over the long run, feeling strong and confident rather than just trying to be skinny,' she said. This approach marks a significant change from her earlier days when she was more focused on shedding pounds quickly. A Balanced Diet: No Extreme Restrictions Reddy's approach to diet is centered around balance, not deprivation. Unlike many fitness trends that promote extreme measures, Sameera believes in moderation and mindful eating. 'There are no extreme restrictions, like cutting out carbs,' she explained. Instead of adhering to restrictive diets, Sameera practices portion control and adjusts her food intake based on the intensity of her workouts. Her emphasis is on consistency and long-term health rather than chasing short-term results.

'You have to be your own biggest cheerleader. Not everyone will cheer you on, and that's okay. You have to show up for yourself,' she said.

No one else can do it for you,' she advised.

From 92 kgs to 81 kgs: Sameera Reddy shares how she lost 11 kilos with..
From 92 kgs to 81 kgs: Sameera Reddy shares how she lost 11 kilos with.. In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, people are obsessed with staying fit and looking young. Many people resort to beauty trends to get quicker results. Real transformation requires persistence, strength, and discipline, which is not everybody's cup of tea. However, there is one such actress and mother of two who doesn't believe in fad diets or filters, instead, she has taken the sustainable route for her overall well-being and transformation. The person we are talking about is none other than actress Sameera Reddy. The 'De Dana Dan' actress lost almost 11 kilos in one year and is currently inspiring everybody with her transformation, not by going for quick fixes or striving to be skinny but just by focusing on ageing healthily, creating strength, and being present with herself. Wake-up call for Sameera came on her birthday, 14 December 2024, when she realised she was frustrated with weight fluctuations. 'It actually started when I realised that constantly yo-yoing with my weight wasn't sustainable'. The perpetual yo-yo of weight loss was unsustainable, and the quest for slenderness was not worth the physical and emotional toll. Her epiphany? Long-term health was all about accepting consistency, not quick fixes. Rather than following extreme trends, she concentrated on developing healthy habits—exercising 4–5 times a week and prioritising fitness no matter how busy life became. Her exercise became her self-care, not a punishment for eating. Sameera refrained from fad diets and began paying attention to portion control and well-balanced meals. She even further said that banning certain food groups or starving does not bring sustainable outcomes. 'There are no severe restrictions,' she stated, mentioning that one needs to facilitate her workouts by feeding the right stuff, but not through deprivation. Sameera also emphasised the emotional side of transformation- 'You have to be your own biggest cheerleader.' Though her family was supportive, she stressed that change really starts from within. 'Not everybody is going to cheer you on, and that's okay. You have to show up for yourself,' she told others to do vision boards, set goals, and have faith in the process. Her journey serves as a reminder that wellness is not about chasing skinny bodies but about feeling strong, confident, and grounded in your own skin, on your own terms.
