Though a lot of controversies currently surrounds the movie, Deepika is still the talk of the B-Town for her look in the movie ‘Padmavati.’ Let us have a look at diet and workout plan of Deepika Padukone.
Diet Plan of Deepika Padukone
It is a commonly known fact that a good metabolism aids weight loss and Deepika is blessed with it. She does not believe in having everything in one meal and eats 6 meals a day. But, she makes sure that her meals are rich in dietary fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, complex carbs, minerals and vitamins.
These days crash diets are quite famous, and most people try three-day-diet-plan or seven-day-diet-plan thinking that they will lose a lot of weight. But the truth is that these crash diets make them gain more weight in the long run. Deepika too does not believe in crash dieting. She has the habit of eating her meals at the right time of the day, and if she by any chance skips a meal due to a hectic schedule, she keeps on drinking fruit juices, buttermilk, water and coconut water to keep herself well hydrated. Deepika says that she does not eats rice after 7 pm.
Here is Deepika’s Diet Plan
| Meals | Diet |
| Early Morning (Between 5:30AM- 6:00 AM) | One cup warm water with honey and juice of one lemon
Or One cup water with fenugreek seeds soaked overnight |

Deepika’s Sweet Tooth
Like most of us, Deepika also craves for sweets quite often. She has a very good metabolic rate, and she says that in order to keep metabolism high, one needs to alter diet once in a week or two weeks. That is because your metabolism gets hindered if you keep eating the same calories every day. Consuming fewer or more calories than what you eat on a daily basis is good to keep your metabolism firing. Deepika loves to eat chocolates and sweets and eats them once in a while to keep her metabolism elevated and her sweet tooth satisfied.
Die Rules Followed by Deepika
1. Do not overeat
2. Eat your meals at the right time
3. Do not deprive yourself
4. Avoid eating fried and oily foods.

Deepika follows not only a strict diet regimen but also a fitness regimen to keep her body toned. She says that you need to burn calories you consume, or else you will gain weight.
Deepika’s Workout Routine
Deepika’s fitness routine is a blend of cardio, dance, yoga and weight training exercises. In an interview, Deepika said, “I do a lot of freehand weights and 4 to 5 sets of stretching exercises with ten to twenty reps in between Pilates or stretching routines. I do not particularly like running, and that is why I do not do a lot of traditional gym exercises. I try and exercise as often as I can, but when I am shooting or travelling, I skip it for days on end.”
Deepika’s fitness trainer is Yasmin Karachiwala who also introduced Deeps to Pilates and now Deepika just can’t live without doing Pilates. Have a look at Deepika’s workout regimen:

• Pranayama
• Meditation
• Sarvangasana or Shoulder Stand
Dance- Deepika loves to dance, and dance is a part of her fitness regime. She practices a different variety of dances such as Kathak, Bharat Natyam, Jazz and so on. She says that she enjoys dancing and the fact that dancing helps her burn calories makes her love dance even more.
Pilates and Stretching- A big thanks to Yasmin Karachiwala (Deepika’s fitness trainer) who made Deepika love Pilates so much. Deepika admits that doing pilates has helped her a lot in keeping her body in shape. It has strengthened her core, increased her flexibility and improved her posture. She uses several Pilates machine and props such as wunda chair, foam weights and resistance bands for her workout. Yasmin says, “We also have a jumping series of the Pilates, which is a combination of cardio and Pilates. Here, we do the walking lunges or jumping squat that may be accompanied by lightweights of a kilo or two. I also like to intersperse a minute or two of cardio between other routines.”Deepika keeps weight training to a minimum because she exercises daily and doing a lot of weight training can lead to soreness in the body.
Gym- Unlike other celebrities who love hitting the gym, Deepika is not a big fan of Gym. But, she hits the gym when she wants to change her workout routine.
