And of course, her size zero figure! Want to know how she got her curves right?

Well, then read on to know Kareena Kapoor's incredible weight loss journey.

Kareena Kapoor's journey to a stunning figure

Her first movie, Refugee, did not do well at the box office, but her acting skills were well appreciated right from the beginning of her career. After her first movie, she continued drawing accolades every time she made an appearance on the silver screen. But, what stunned everyone was her slim avatar in Tashan. From a plump and chubby Punjabi girl, Bebo transformed into a size zero queen.

It was rumoured that Kareena went on crash diet to reportedly lose 20 lbs for Tashan, but it was all false. It was a healthy diet plan, and a strict exercise regime, which helped her lose oodles of weight. Although size zero is now a thing of past, she still maintains a great figure. This style and fitness icon became an inspiration for many who wish to lose weight.

Kareena Kapoor’s workout regime

The person behind Kareena Kapoor’s toned and flexible body, is none other than the renowned celebrity yoga trainer, Payal Gidwani Tiwari. The actress is thankful to her for getting her into perfect shape, "Payal has helped me challenge my genes and transform my body," she stated. She is the reason why Kareena is still in love with Yoga. But in the beginning, Kareena was not a yoga fan. In fact, she left yoga after practising it for a month. But, she came back soon, and has been dedicated since then. "Initially when I started yoga classes, I couldn't lift my feet up above the ground. Payal told me that my thighs are bulky, and I need to tone them down. But now I can throw my feet above my head," said the actress during the launch of a yoga book by Payal Gidwani Tiwari.

Being a big yoga fan, the star makes it a point to devote at least two hours to yoga every day, no matter how busy she is. She loves to perform power yoga with surya namaskar and ashtanga yoga. She also combines Pilates workout with her yoga routine. For Bebo, yoga is like a morning prayer, and if she misses it, then she remains in a horrible mood for rest of the day

Kareena Kapoor’s diet plan

The actress is a self-confessed foodie, and loves to eat simple Indian home food. She even once stated, "I can't live without food. I love food as much as I love movies. I am a 'Kapoor', so that explains my love for food, and I eat everything, but in moderation." That is why she does not hesitate from eating even kachoris and samosas. Surprising, isn’t it?

And, if you are thinking that rice must be a big no for her, then you are wrong. Rather, it is something that makes Kareena forget about her regime. But her ‘eating in moderation’ rule helps her to easily enjoy her favourite food, without causing any harm to her body shape. Considering that the balance is the key, she suggests her fans:

Kareena even loves to have sugar and ghee in her food. The actress does not hesitate to include sugar in her coffee, or adding a teaspoon of ghee in her paranthas. This helps Kareena to keep her body fully active, and her skin totally fresh. She is thankful to her dietician, Rujuta Diwekar, for helping her in eating in a balanced manner.

Breakfast: It usually comprises of upma or paranthas, muesli, and idlis. She snacks on a brown bread sandwich in between.

Lunch: It is generally the usual roti, dal, and vegetables.

Dinner: At night she usually has dal, vegetables, and curd with roti or brown rice.

She makes sure to munch small meals after every 2-3 hours, and makes it a point to drink at least 6-8 glasses of boiled water every day.

Kareena Kapoor also firmly believes that a healthy attitude towards life is very important to stay fit. As one of the most important secrets of her fitness, Kareena Kapoor says, "Have a clear soul, eat a balanced diet, at right time, and be in sync with the local food and climatic conditions. This will keep you calm, quiet, and balanced inside as well outwardly give you the best of your physical persona as well as your looks."
