Shweta shares her Expert Tips to Stay in Shape all through the Year
- Do not skip food and do not eat only when you starve. Eat clean, on time and drink lots of water so that you don’t crave junk food.
- Eat clean and balanced food. You need Protein, Carbohydrates, Fiber and Fat with all micro nutrients.
- Do add lots of green vegetables in your meals.
- Drink at least 1 gallon of water a day. Yes at least 1 Gallon.
- Always keep some healthy food at home to avoid munching on junk snacks. Even during festive season, never keep a stack of your favorite sweets.
- One or maximum two cheat meals are fine per week but do not make it a cheat day. Shweta’s favorite cheat meal is donuts! “I cannot have that in this diet so in this diet, I make coconut flour kheer and other one is cream cheese pancakes.”
- Workout five days a week and never skip a workout for 3 consecutive days. Weight training and Cardio both are important. Shweta in her interview to Women Fitness says “If I have 2 hours to workout, I would do one and a half hour of weight training and last 20 mins cardio. I split my leg workout into 3 parts: chest, hamstrings and glutes. So I split and train them and not together. 2 days I do upper body, 3 days I do legs and one day I do calisthenics.”
- Working women should carry nuts, seeds or salads for midday/tea breaks.
