However, when that doesn’t happen, most women resort to cutting down on food intake to stay slim. But sooner or later, the diets fall by the wayside and they roll back to eating more. Then they blame the diet for not losing weight, although their low-calorie diet regime had long been broken.
Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty has a few tips to pass on to this category of women. It’s been 24 years since Shilpa made her Bollywood debut, but even after these long years, the manner in which she has maintained her body and fitness is worth emulating.
Significant is the fact that Shilpa, who is past 40, doesn’t adhere to a special diet to stay slim. Though many are not willing to believe her when she says that, Shilpa testifies what she says is true.
The actress is a yoga freak, and she doesn’t think cutting down on food or adhering to a strict diet regime would help reduce flab. More importantly, she advocates eating healthy food to stay fit and slim. Shilpa loves her food and swears by local cuisine. It isn’t an exaggeration when she says ghee has always been part of her diet.

The actress has put together a video on warm-ups on YouTube to drive home her point. Further, stretching exercises that would make your hands, limbs, neck and back flexible need to be part of the exercise regimen, she adds.
