CELEBRITY WEIGHT LOSS

SONAKSHI SINHA
.

.
The original Dabangg girl knew she had to put in the extra effort before she could make her way to the top. Though Dabangg saw Sonakshi in a healthier avatar, her body seems to be getting better, every time!

Sonakshi's Secret Mantra

No carbohydrates after 6pm
Loads of Green Tea
Regular exercise. (Have you not heard this a million times?)
Hot Yoga
No short cuts to the door of glory

ADNAN SAMI
.

.
Having lost over 130 kilos Sami is probably the “biggest” weight loss story of the Bollywood fraternity. Earlier he required seat belt extension on planes, couldn’t lie down for sleeping and needed rest after climbing five steps. In about a year, Adnan Sami went from all this to enjoying tennis and squash.

Adnan's Secret Mantra

Seek expert advice. His diet regime might just not work the same for you. As he says, ''Some people just gain weight by smelling food''.
In his case (which is an exception), sheer determination, apart from initial dieting and gradual exercising, was the key.

ZARINE KHAN
.

.
The flabby Katrina look alike was once tagged as Fatrina! She weighed a whopping 100 kgs before getting into films, but the determined girl decided to stop the wagging tongues by going on a strict diet and is now a healthy 57 kgs.

She flaunted her super toned body in Houseful 2.

Zarine's Secret Mantra

An hour of Pilates every morning.
Weight training, swimming and jogging to increase her metabolic rate.
A complete no-no to sweet and fried food.

.
.
.
SONAM KAPOOR
.

.
India's most fashionable lady was once quite heavy. But when she decided to get into movies, she decided to shed off the extra weight too. Acknowledging her mother's determination to keep her off chocolates, ice creams, fried food she mentions how a combination of yoga, Pilates and Kathak helped her put off weight.

Sonam's Secret Mantra

High protein, six-small-meals-a-day-diet.
An early dinner.
Cardio-vascular exercises. (weight-training isnt just for men to bulk-up)
No to caffeine, yes to Green tea.
Classical Dancing (Kathak) and playing Squash.

.
.
.
KAREENA KAPOOR
.

.
From a flabby teenager to a much more glamorous almost size zero! Though we dont approve the size zero look, we love Kareena for how she has managed to shed down and then gain the kilos to look amazing. She consulted and worked under Dieticians and nutritionists and switched to healthy versions of eating food. Also, she involved in power yoga and managed to do about a 100 Surya Namaskars at one go!

Kareena's Secret Mantra

Exercising right (Power Yoga upto 40 minutes and 50 Surya Namaskars twice a day)
The good-old dal, rice and sabzi for an equi-carb-protein-diet. She says, ''the no-carb (carbohydrates) diet is silly''.

.
.
.
SAMEERA REDDY
.

.
She went from a whopping 105 kilos to super sexy and fit avatar she is in now. Sameera says it was very tough for her, given her healthy physique and the love for food. But she decided to combine good food with the right amount of exercise and reach where she is right now.

Sameera's Secret Mantra

'Lauki-juice' (gourd juice) she says is a miracle worker.
''Eat to survive. Don’t gorge.''
2 years of intensive weight-loss regime. Which goes to say, folks it aint happening overnight! You gotta work and wait for it.

.
.
.
RANI MUKHERJI
.

.
Rani received a lot of flak for her weight. But when she donned a bikini for Dil Bole Hadippa, she did it with ease. A lot of people were stunned by her toned abs. Her secret is the age old good diet and exercise and she is a big fan of yoga.

Rani's Secret Mantra

Two hours Power-Yoga every morning.
Walking up and down the stairs of her bungalow.

.
.
.
ARJUN KAPOOR
.

.
Another from the Kapoor family, Boney Kapoor's son and the latest heartthrob from Ishaqzaade, Arjun weighed about a 140 kilos a few years back. He says, ''Determination goes a long way in weight loss because there really isnt any quick fix''.

Arjun's Secret Mantra

Combining healthy food with cardio and weights.
Bajra roti in place of atta roti.
A Crossfit regime to knock off the extra calories.

.
.
.
KATRINA KAIF
.

.
Yes, hang your jaw in amazement, but Katrina wasnt always the super trim Sheila we see her as now. Though she wasnt highly overweight, the Barbied Katrina managed shedding off the extra pounds for a super trim and fit look. And the results are for all to see!

Katrina's Secret Mantra

Plenty of water and fruits
''Eat the right food at the right time.''
Positive addiction to physical activity.
Avoiding starch completely (Though we do not advice that, because starch helps the body produce energy and boycotting it may prove bad for health in the long run).

.
.
.
MARIAH CAREY
.

.
Known for her powerful vocals, her songwriting and her acting skills; Mariah gained 70 pounds during her pregnancy. She decided to shed it off and managed to return to the super glam personality she was always known for. Yes, we love the results.

Mariah's Secret Mantra

Jenny Craig's diet plan that restricted her intake to 1500 calories per day.
Gymming thrice a week.

.
.
.
JENNIFER HUDSON
.

.
She has many accolades to her name - an American Idol contestant, Academy Award winner, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe winner. But Hudson was also known for her heavy built. Its ironical that her ''Oscar-role'' (for Dream Girls) came when she was all filled-up. Great timing though, she managed to shed off the extra pounds and look fab!

Jennifer's Secret Mantra

The Weight Watchers program

.

.
KELLY OSBURNE

DREW BARRYMORE
.

.
Known for her acting in movies like 50 First Dates, Posion Ivy and E.T; actor, director, screenwriter, producer and model Drew Barrymore has always been in the limelight. She managed to overcome all her addiction in life - her drug problems, her alcohol issues and also her weight issues. Drew is a fighter and her healthy weight just is an affirmation to that very fact. Portion controlled meals, yoga and running are her secrets.
