3/9

Not being obsessed with the number on the scale

People who generally go on a weight loss mission tend to go overboard with weighing themselves in the hope to see the difference but Bhumi advises against it. When you start obsessing over your weight and adopt unhealthy habits, you are ruining your own health and defeating the entire purpose. Bhumi also followed this trick and credits this hack for her tremendous weight loss.

4/9

Including ghee in your diet

Another myth Bhumi busted about her weight loss plan was the abhorrence to fat. You might think that desi food, especially ghee is the big culprit ruining your diet and something you need to ditch but in reality, it can actually help you lose weight and nutritionists recommend this too. Bhumi made sure to have more of buttermilk, ghee and makhhan too!

5/9

Eat only home-cooked food

We all know that home-cooked food is absolutely healthy and fresh and when you quit junk for fresh food, you are actually helping yourself. When Bhumi was trying to lose weight, she ate only what her mother cooked and saw a difference in her waistline in no time.

6/9

Quitting sugar

Believe it or not, the secret behind Bhumi Pednekar’s jaw-dropping transformation is ditching sugar! Yes, Bhumi went on record to say that she quit all kinds of sugar products and really saw a difference in her weight. When you say no to sugar, you also save yourself from possible complications and diabetic problems too.

7/9

Set achievable targets

The number one rule when it comes to losing weight is to set targets which are actually doable and not out of the blue. We see celebs dropping kilos out of the blue and think we can do it too. However, keep in mind that no two people share the same type of lifestyle or body type. It is important to be realistic and holistic in your approach. Remember, weight loss, if not optimum can be borderline dangerous for you and lead to complications as well.

8/9

Not starving yourself

In one of the interviews, Bhumi Pednekar was asked to share her weight loss secrets. While she said that she ate healthily and worked out a lot, she also mentioned that to lose weight, it is important for the person to be in a happy state of mind. Hence, starving and following crash diets is a big no-no for the actress. She had shared that she wanted to lose weight at her own pace and did not believe in doing it in a hurry.

9/9

Cheat meal

While there are endless debates about the benefits of following the cheat meal strategy, Bhumi followed it for weight loss. After burning off enough calories and eating healthy, Bhumi rewarded herself with a yummy, cheat meal after every 5 days. This made sure that she ate what she wanted and did not compromise on her diet too.
