Trainers to the stars share secrets of an A-list body, and how you can work towards getting there
A waist like Deepika Padukone’s
The expert: Nutritionist and clinical dietician Pooja Makhija
Deepika had a headstart. She had a great body anyway. What was needed was fine tuning. I suggested that she cut down on meal portions, and increase frequency of intake. This is a rule that works for everyone, actually. Instead of three hearty meals, divide your day with small portions. Eat eight to 10 times a day. For a surfboard tummy, you need to avoid high sugar and high fat foods, like she does. This means you have to stay away from sweets, fried foods and alcohol. Diet and exercise are equally important here. It’s 50-50.
Working out is a must for a sexy waist since the abdominal muscles are like a cupboard. They are the fat storage area of the body. Pilates and an exercise ball work well to work on these muscles. You can even add resistance training and stretch bands to your routine. Lastly, you need determination and focus. Even if she has a 7 am shift, she’ll make sure she works out prior. Nobody is born with a heavenly waist; you have to work towards it.”
