Spreading laughter with her wit, she always owns her self and body unapologetically serving some major self-worth goals. Recently, in a podcast with Prajakta Kohli, they talked about their weight loss journeys and how Bharti is now grateful that she can wear crop tops too. Bharti said, “Main toh bahut khush hoon patli hoke. Kitna maza ata hai jab crop top mil jate hain apne size ke. Mere ko bada maza ata hai, ache ache kapde mil jate hain (I am so much happier after losing weight. I find crop tops in my size now. I really enjoy that I get to wear nice clothes).”

Bharti Singh Weight Loss Journey

From 91 to 76, Singh’s story still stands as a source of inspiration. She makes us laugh effortlessly and her weight loss story is all about making simple efforts. She also did not opt for rigorous diet or hardcore gym workout regimen.

In one of her interviews, Bharti Singh said, “Even I am surprised that I have lost so much weight, but I am equally happy because I feel healthy and fit. Abhi saans nahi chadhti or halka halka feel hota hai.” Being overweight entails several health problems and Singh admitted to have her diabetes and asthma in control after her weight loss.

So how did the laughter queen actually do it? Singh says she held onto one diet practise and that was intermittent fasting. She used to have meals in a certain window only that is post 12pm and until 7 pm in the evening. Being raw and honest as always, she once talked how the innate Punjabi in her did not give up on parathas and makhan (butter). She managed to shed 15 kgs by dedicatedly adhering to intermittent fasting, without giving up her favourite food and without even having a charted out workout plan.

Bharti’s diet was mostly eating in controlled portions and home-cooked meals. Not eating post 7 helped her curb those midnight hunger pangs too. “I don’t follow any diet, I just fast for 15-16 hours and don’t eat anything between 7 pm-12 pm. My body doesn’t accept dinner any later than 7 pm now. But I attack food after 12 pm. Then I have my regular parathas, eggs, dal-sabzi, everything I have always liked,” she stated speaking with The Indian Express.

Nita Ambani opted for a beautiful kaftan gown that brought the entire spotlight on her. Nita’s kaftan gown was a refreshing fashion statement in a dark gold hue. The gown featured intricate detailing with floral designs like hollyhocks, camellias, and gardenias. Made of shiny lamé mousseline fabric, the gown flowed smoothly with pleats, giving it a dreamy look.

Additionally, Nita Ambani’s kaftan gown had a stunning neckline adorned with crystals, adding an extra touch of glamour to the look. One of the standout features of the outfit was the dramatic flowing sleeves and the floor-length hemline.

From 76 kgs, Christy came down to 56 kgs and detailed out her takeaways. Scroll down to read what helped her through the weight loss journey.

1. Exercise is not enough: In the Thread post Christy emphasise why exercising is not enough for weight loss. One should also watch what they eat. “In the photo on the left i have been exercising everyday for 2 years but still ate whatever I wanted until february this year. If you still eat your fried food and unhealthy tons of carbs there will be no weight loss or changes! However, I don’t regret exercising regularly every day before paying attention to what I eat because it forms a habit and maybe that’s what makes me lose weight faster.”
2. Consult a Professional: There is no harm in consulting professional. “I’ve been on a failed diet for years, leading to frustration and wanting to give up till i met @mealplan.id and i wish i had met them sooner also thanks to ci@patricia_stephanie who introduced them. Maybe some of you think “ah it’s expensive“ but trust me it’s more worth it than buying bla bla diet drinks or diet products that don’t necessarily work,” writes Christy.
3. Do not procrastinate: It could be a long journey. So start now! You will never regret it! In my frustration of 2 years of daily exercise but no changes, I pray to God, and He answers my prayer, through my mom’s relations, saying that I need to go to a nutritionist. Then Ci @patricia_stephanie introduced an online diet program from @mealplan.id. At that time, I immediately thought that next year I would wear a wedding dress (quite simple motivation) i knew if I didn’t start now. I would never make it.
4. Consistency: Find the strongest motivation and how to be consistent! For me, the closest event at that time was sangjit and i needed to wear a cheongsam dress (ofc, you know what i mean) yes that was my strongest motivation. Find many ways to be consistent: you must enjoy the food, explore the shortest and practical food prep for your daily activities, the sport you like, and etc.

Sharing weight loss journeys work as a source of motivation and inspiration to take that first step. What works for one is not a mandate for another. Find you own journey and a professional guidance can help in better construction of fitness regimes as per individual’s requirement.

How to Reduce Belly Fat in 3 Steps?

1. Eat at regular intervals: Channa writes that “eating enough at regular intervals is much better than eating light or bloating your stomach after long gap. This keeps your metabolism at work and don’t pressurize your body’s intestinal system. As per my own experience and studies, it has been proved that eating within at least 2 hours is the best approach to follow your balance diet approach. Moreover, instead of completely avoiding your favorite junk food, check if there is healthy option or you can make it healthy. Eg.Oats dosa, Moong dal halwa, Protein laddu instead of high calorie sweets.
2. Work on abs at right time: According to Anant Ambani’s trainer, the best time for doing abs is after working on large muscles like legs, back and chest. This is because you have burnt more calories in short period of time and doing abs at this point of time tend to shape your muscles as it is already involved while working on bigger muscles, so this is provide faster result than pushing afresh on other days and just focusing on abdominal with high repetition and number of hours.
3. Work on all muscle group: Work on all the 4 major muscles of the abdominal ie – Rectus Abdominal, Internal Oblique, External oblique, Transverse Oblique.

Perform crunches that will work on rectus abdominal, cross crunches and leg raises which will work on internal and external oblique and lastly transverse oblique which can be worked by doing plank, side plank.

Weight loss do not take one route. Even if the destination is same, the path is subjected to individual’s body and Channa believes it too. In a simple manner he explains why different body have different requirements. “Often, I am being asked if there is a need for nutrition plan for each individual as per body requirement and my answer is Yes. This is because of the intensity of your workout and following reasons:

• Different body types ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph
• Different metabolic rates
• Different lifestyle adaptation based on our work or regional eating habits
• Different food preferences (veg or non-veg)
• Amount of time that you can spend in adapting to nutritional habits.

Water intoxication, also known as water poisoning or hyperhydration, occurs when an individual consumes an excessive amount of water in a short period, leading to an electrolyte imbalance in the body. This condition can disrupt normal physiological functions and potentially become life-threatening. While staying hydrated is essential for health, it’s crucial to understand the risks associated with overconsumption of water.

5 Warning Signs of Water Intoxication

1. Nausea and Vomiting: One of the first symptoms of water intoxication is nausea, which can progress to vomiting. When the body takes in more water than it can process, the excess fluid can cause the stomach to feel bloated and uncomfortable. This discomfort may lead to nausea and, eventually, vomiting as the body attempts to expel the excess water.
2. Headaches: Frequent headaches can also be a sign of water intoxication. As the body’s electrolyte levels become imbalanced due to excessive water intake, the brain may temporarily swell, leading to pressure that manifests as a headache.
3. Confusion and Disorientation: Cognitive symptoms, such as confusion and disorientation, may arise as a result of water intoxication. The imbalance of electrolytes, particularly sodium, can affect brain function. This disruption can lead to mental fog, difficulty concentrating, and in severe cases, even seizures.
4. Swelling and Puffiness: Excessive water intake can cause the body to retain fluid, leading to noticeable swelling and puffiness, particularly in the hands, feet, and face. This condition, known as edema, occurs when water accumulates in the tissues.
5. Muscle Weakness or Cramps: Muscle weakness or cramps can also indicate water intoxication. The dilution of sodium in the body can lead to hyponatremia, a condition where sodium levels drop too low. This electrolyte imbalance can cause muscle spasms, weakness, and in severe cases, can affect heart function. If you experience unexplained muscle issues after consuming large amounts of water, it may warrant immediate attention.

While staying hydrated is vital for health, it’s important to be mindful of the amount of water you consume. Water intoxication can lead to serious health complications if not addressed promptly. If you notice any of the above warning signs, consider reducing your water intake and consulting a healthcare professional. Aim for a balanced approach to hydration, listening to your body’s needs, and adjusting your fluid intake accordingly to maintain optimal health.

Malaika Arora’s Intermittent Fasting Rule

Intermittent fasting is one of the most popular fitness trends that grabbed attention this year. This is a dietary routine where individual eat meals only between certain time windows. Malaika Arora opened up about how her last meal is 7-7:30 pm every night, so she keeps a fasting window of 16-18 hours, meaning she doesn’t eat anything in the morning. Intermittent fasting is alternate periods of eating and fasting. Speaking to Times of India she said that she fasts for 16-18 hours, and she follows the 16/8 method, where she eats within a 8 hours-window only during the day. But she drinks liquids through the day that help her get through the fasting window.

She has an entire liquid plan set for the morning fasting as staying hydrated makes the fasting easy. Malaika consumes a variety of drinks for the morning like coconut water, jeera water and plain water with lime.

Not just her fashion sense but her fitness routine is also something to take cues from. ABC juice translates to Apple, Beetroot and Carrot juice. Earlier, she also uploaded a video talking about her ABC juice. Arora shares that she sips on this healthy juice at 10 AM in the morning. It is a blend of apples, beetroots and carrots with a hint of ginger. All these ingredients serve health benefits in a platter individually.

Apple is rich in fibre while carrots have vitamin A, E, beta carotene and are healthy for over all body. Ginger is one of the oldest tricks in the book for a healthy body. These are loaded with antioxidants too.

With over 36.1K followers on her Instagram, Bedi is super active in sharing weight loss diet, what to eat and avoid. She has lost over 12 kgs in nearly 3 years and has also managed to maintain it.

Foods to Avoid to Reduce Belly Fat

Aarja Bedi, in one of her recent posts she shared what foods she usually avoid when focusing on reducing belly fat. Further, she also stated what alternatives can be used

1. Sugary Drinks (Sodas and Energy Drinks): Sugary drinks are high in liquid calories and cause insulin spikes, leading to fat storage, especially around the belly. They also don’t provide satiety, making it easy to over consume calories. Better alternative can be to  opt for sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or unsweetened herbal teas for a refreshing, calorie-free option.
2. Refined Carbs (White Bread, Pasta, Pastries): Refined carbs are stripped of fiber, causing rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes. This promotes fat storage and increases cravings, making it harder to maintain a calorie deficit. Better alternative can be to choose whole-grain options like quinoa, oats, or brown rice to keep blood sugar stable and stay full longer.
3. Fried Foods: Fried foods are high in unhealthy trans fats and calories, which slow digestion and promote belly fat storage. They can also cause bloating and inflammation. Try air-fry or bake your foods with minimal oil, using healthy fats like olive oil or avocado oil.
4. Alcohol (Especially Beer and Cocktails): Alcohol is not only high in empty calories but also disrupts metabolism, as the body prioritizes burning alcohol over fat. Sugary mixers add extra calories, further promoting fat storage around the belly. If you indulge, stick to low-calorie options like dry wine or spirits with soda water and lemon.
5. Processed Snacks (Chips, Crackers, Candy Bars): These snacks are loaded with refined sugars, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives, which lead to overeating and belly fat accumulation. They’re also low in nutrients and fiber.  Snack on nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit with a protein source like Greek yogurt for better satiety and nutrient density.

Vitamin D is vital for bone health, as it facilitates calcium absorption. An excellent source of vitamin D is the sunlight. Many seniors face challenges in obtaining sufficient vitamin D due to limited sunlight exposure during winter. The recommended daily calcium requirement for seniors is about 1200 mcg, and vitamin D is 800 IU, said Dr Rajesh Srinivas, Consultant – Orthopaedic Surgeon, Manipal Hospital Varthur Road and Whitefield.

5 Tips For Strong Bones

1. Calcium Diet: Excellent dietary sources of calcium products are milk, yogurts, and cheese. However, for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer non-dietary options include fortified foods such as almond milk, soy milk, cereals, and pulses such as boiled chickpeas, soya beans, chia seeds, rajma, green grams, and Bengal grams.
2. Leafy Green: Leafy greens such as kale, broccoli, okra, spinach, sprouts, and beans also contribute to the overall calcium intake, making them a healthy addition to the winter diet.
3. Supplements: Seniors struggling to achieve sufficient calcium and vitamin D through diet alone should consider supplementation with elemental calcium and vitamin D3 to help meet daily nutrient requirements. The supplementation of elemental calcium, along with additional supplements of magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, and boron, may be taken as a daily dose. Vitamin D3 supplements can be taken once a week, as recommended by your doctor. Elemental calcium, enriched with magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, and boron supplements could be considered as daily once dosage, vitamin D3 supplementation with weekly once dosage, or as prescribed by your doctor.
4. Weight bearing exercises: In addition to diet, physical activity plays a crucial role in maintaining bone strength. Weight-bearing exercises, including walking and light resistance training, can enhance bone strength and improve balance, reducing the risks of falls.
5. Yoga: Simple activities like yoga also help enhance the flexibility and strength of joints.

During winter seasons, the senior population should focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D to support bone health by incorporating dairy products, fortified foods, green leafy vegetables, and fish into meals alongside considering supplementation as prescribed by a doctor and engage in physical activity to increase strength and flexibility of bones and joints. Always consult your healthcare professional if you have concerns about your health, joints, and bone status.

5 Reasons to Consume Radish Leaves

1. Nutrient-Rich: Radish leaves are highly nutritious. They are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as several B vitamins. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision and skin, while vitamin C boosts the immune system and promotes collagen production. Vitamin K plays a crucial role in blood clotting and bone health. Additionally, radish leaves contain minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, contributing to overall health.
2. High in Antioxidants: Radish leaves are rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. They contain compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acids that neutralize free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Including antioxidant-rich foods in your diet can enhance your body’s defenses and promote long-term health.
3. Digestive Health: The fiber content in radish leaves supports digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. Fiber also aids in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for overall digestive function. Incorporating radish leaves into salads, soups, or smoothies can help improve your fiber intake and support a healthy digestive system.
4. Low in Calories and Versatile: Radish leaves are low in calories, making them a fantastic addition to weight management diets. Their mild flavor makes them versatile; you can use them in various dishes, from salads and pesto to soups and stir-fries. Simply wash them thoroughly, chop them, and add them to your favorite recipes for an added nutritional boost without significantly increasing calorie intake.
5. Environmental Sustainability: By using radish leaves, you can reduce food waste and promote sustainability. Many parts of plants that are often discarded are actually edible and nutritious. Incorporating these leaves into your cooking not only enhances your meals but also contributes to a more sustainable food system. Reducing waste in the kitchen is an important step toward environmental responsibility.

Radish leaves are a nutritious, versatile, and sustainable addition to your diet that should not be overlooked. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, they offer numerous health benefits while helping to reduce food waste. Next time you prepare radishes, consider saving the leaves and experimenting with them in your cooking. Whether in salads, smoothies, or cooked dishes, radish leaves can enhance your meals and contribute to your overall health. Embrace this often-discarded part of the plant and enjoy the benefits it has to offer!
