BOLLYWOOD actress Kareena Kapoor says rather than surviving on salads and juices, she eats simple
Indian food to stay fit and healthy.
“I eat only simple Indian home food – sabzi, roti, dal, chawal, ghee. There are so many benefits of having ghee. My grandmother is 84 and she is still fit and looks beautiful,” Kareena said.
“One should eat everything that is healthy and avoid junk food. I don’t like the idea of starving. I eat and burn it out in the gym. The amount of intake is what matters,” she said.
Kareena, who was size zero five years back, begins her day with a banana milkshake followed by a cup of coffee.
“I don’t know where this term size zero came from. I became thin for Tashan. And that is because of Rujuta (Diwekar), I followed her instructions,” she said.
The 32-year-old actress is a part of a nutrition documentary Indian Food Wisdom and The Art of Eating Right by famous celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar.
Kareena, who is a vegetarian, said her husband actor Saif Ali Khan likes eating meat.
“Nawabi food is rich in meat so I opt for dal or paneer while Saif eats mutton. I don’t eat meat,” she said.
