What Inspired Sonakshi To Lose Weight?

Sonakshi Sinha was overweight before entering films. She weighed about 90 kgs and loved to munch junk food and did not follow any workout regimen. Sonakshi was always criticized for being plump, but she never cared about what the body shamers thought of her. It was Salman Khan, her debut film’s co-star, who could finally motivate her to lose weight.

Sonakshi Sinha Weight Loss Diet Chart

Early Morning1 glass warm water with honey and lemon juice
BreakfastCereal and low-fat milk + 1 whole wheat toast
Lunch 1 cup mixed vegetable curry with 2 chapatis and salad
Evening Snack1 cup green tea or a bowl of fruits
Dinner½ cup dal, mixed vegetable curry, a piece of chicken breast or grilled fish
Why This Works

A cup of warm water with honey and lime juice on an empty stomach helps to flush out the toxins and also supports bowel movement. Cereal and low-fat milk with a whole wheat toast give the body the required amount of complex carbs, calcium, potassium, and dietary fiber that helps to satiate hunger and strengthen the bones.

For lunch, vegetable curry, chapatis, and salad provide the body with vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Green tea is a rich source of antioxidants and helps to suppress appetite. Fruits are a great source of phytonutrients and fiber.

For dinner, dal, chicken or fish is an excellent source of lean protein while mixed veggie curry is loaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. But Sonakshi does more than just follow this diet to maintain her weight. Scroll down to find out.

Lifestyle Changes For Weight Loss

1. Kitchen Makeover

Yes, unless you give your kitchen a complete makeover you cannot give your body a makeover. Because if you have high-calorie, high-carb foods stocked up in your kitchen cabinet, you will end up eating them at some point or the other. That would only lead to weight gain. Now is the time to dispose the foods that are unhealthy and can potentially make you chubby. Then the next thing you should do is to buy veggies, fruits, nuts, low-carb grains, lean protein, and healthy fats and store in your fridge or kitchen cabinet. You can also get low-fat frozen yogurt and dark chocolate to satiate your sweet tooth or make unsalted and butter-free popcorn or homemade baked veggie wafers to satiate your cravings for a crunchy snack.

2. Cook At Home

Home-cooked food is your best bet when it comes to losing weight. When you cook at home, you can control the number of ingredients you use and also avoid consuming “invisible calories” that come with sauces, toppings, deep-fried coatings, etc. So start cooking at home to help your body eliminate the calorie load and mobilize the fat quicker.

3. Avoid Dehydration

Weight loss also depends on your body’s hydration status. The more you are dehydrated, the more toxic buildup will occur in your body. And the more toxins in your body will lead to inflammation-induced weight gain. Therefore, drink at least 2-4 liters of water. Consume coconut water, fresh fruit juice, buttermilk, detox water, etc. to keep your cells active thereby helping to flush out toxins and boosting the metabolism.

4. Sleep

Sleep deprivation is one of the leading causes of weight gain. When you do not sleep enough, your body doesn’t get the chance to repair itself and detoxify the toxins in the body. This increases stress and leads to emotional eating leading to weight gain. Therefore, start developing a habit of sleeping at least 7-8 hours at night.

5. Take A Break

Too much stress can also lead to weight gain over an extended period. Therefore, take a break now and then. If you cannot find the time to travel, take time out to do what you love or what interests you. This will take the load off your shoulder and help relax your body and mind, which will lead to less toxic buildup and inflammation.

To conclude, Sonakshi Sinha is no superhuman, but what helped her was the fact that she did not lose her focus. If you follow these tips, you can also get rid of the unhealthy habits and kick start your weight loss plan. So, get inspired and give your best to bid adieu to the unwanted flab. Good luck!
