How Did Bhumi Lose 32 Kilos?
Bhumi lost 32 kilos not by going on a popular commercial diet. She was always a little plump and loves food. She revealed, “Food makes me happy. It’s for the soul. I’ve never deprived myself of eating anything I’ve wanted. I had ghee, butter, buttermilk and the only thing I stopped having completely was sugar. But yes, I controlled my carbohydrate intake too. I followed my regular diet, exercised portion control and was very particular about not binging. I had a cheat meal every five days.”
She went on to spill the secrets of her weight loss. “It sounds fancy but I never went to a dietician or a nutritionist. Till now, it has only been my mother and me. I used Google search and my mother’s vast knowledge on food to lose weight. Apart from being physically active, simple home-cooked meal is the most effective way for weight loss. The two of us came up with a diet plan.”
Bhumi posts about her social life and her celebrity fitness lifestyle regularly on Instagram. She also posts diet and healthy lifestyle tips.
Here’s something that you would want to know if you have a sweet tooth. The gorgeous actress admitted, “Quitting or rather reducing the intake of refined sugar was one of the best decisions of my life. Refined sugar – brown or white – is nothing but taste and empty calories. In fact in the process to digest it, it empties your body of a lot of vitamins and minerals. For someone like me who has a sweet tooth, staying away from meetha was tough. So I thought, why crave and deprive yourself, when you have healthier options available today.”
She added, “It’s just about opting for the healthier bottle. Why not have a brownie that’s amazing to taste but also beneficial to the body? Be it raw honey or stevia, these natural sweeteners are a boon and affordable too.”
“Raw honey is good for digestion and is packed with zinc, potassium, calcium and vitamin B6. Add it to your nimbu paani, oats, even milk. You can also add it in your salad dressing. Honey can be used in various different ways.” But she cautions, “Please don’t cook it at high temperatures, as it will lose its taste and nutrients.”
She further explained, “There is maple syrup, coconut sugar and a whole bunch of other natural sweeteners… all the information is available online. But always remember guys, even though these options are healthier, they still need to be eaten in moderation. A little restraint goes a long way in improving your health. Hope this was helpful..”
A survey of 1,000 adult U.S. citizens analyzed their understanding of the intake of sugar and its detrimental effects. The collected data showed that 59% of the participants believed that Sugar consumption is damaging to one’s health, while 8% believed that it had no effect, and 9% presumed it to be beneficial.
Bhumi Pednekar also drinks 7 liters of water per day. She said, “I found this thing called detox water. It cleanses and detoxifies your body. Lemon not only cleanses your body but also makes it alkaline. It also boosts your immunity. Mint aids digestion and gives the drink some sweetness without any sugar. Cucumber has several benefits – it’s good for your skin, it keeps your body hydrated, and it contains anti-inflammatory properties. In short, it’s good for you. Just remove it from the fridge in a couple a hours, strain the liquid and Just pop it your sipper and keep sipping on it…one of the things I tried…

Bhumi Pednekar’s Weight Loss Diet
• Breakfast
Bhumi posted on her Instagram about her breakfast ritual. She said, “I start my mornings with a glass of warm or detox water and thirty minutes later, I eat muesli with skimmed milk and flax or sunflower seeds. Then comes the king-sized breakfast (an hour before gymming) of whole-wheat bread with 2 egg white omelets and a fruit (papaya or apple).” She added, “There is nothing healthier than kick-starting your day with a breakfast like this. Stomach this recommendation for now, next week I will share with you my lunch menu for losing it like me :)”
Quick Tip• Lunch
For lunch, she has a balanced diet that includes “Simple, home-cooked wholesome food that includes roti, sabzi and dal. I eat everything but a healthy version of it. So my rotis are not made of wheat but of bajra, jowar, nachni, soya, chana or rajgira and topped with a little white butter.”
She also advised on how to make healthy meals. “You can mix all these grains together to make a power-packed multi grain roti or use them individually. My dal has tadka and the sabzi has oil but olive oil used in moderation. “
She consumes homemade curd or buttermilk with her high-protein diet.
At other times, she loves to consume, “grilled chicken, brown bread vegetable and grilled chicken sandwich (I like using hummus/honey mustard, green chutney or just little olive oil if I want to grill it as a spread instead of butter or any other trans-fat spread), hummus with cucumber and carrots, nutri-nuggets or some homemade chicken gravy cooked in very little oil with a bowl of brown rice.”
• Evening Snacks
Snacking is very important. But you must choose the healthier versions. Here’s what she does. “At around 4-4.30pm, I eat half a papaya or an apple/pear/guava. After an hour or so, I have a cup of green tea with few almonds or walnuts.” So, swap your crackers, samosas, and cappuccino with fruits, nuts, and green tea.
- Dinner
She keeps her dinner simple and light. She says, “Around 7:00 pm, I have a big bowl of salad with all salad greens, maybe add an apple, and some walnuts or some dried berries if seasonal ones are unavailable – dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or some olive chilli oil with garlic and mustard, or some apple cider vinegar.”
To keep dinner fun, Bhumi says, “at times I add grilled chicken or feta cheese. By 8.30pm, I have my dinner which is usually grilled fish or chicken (there are a lot of easy-to-make nutrition-filled recipes available on the internet. Keep experimenting!).”
And when she’s in the mood for a vegetarian dinner, she eats, “fresh, grilled or slightly pan cooked paneer/tofu, stir fried or steamed vegetables (seasoned as you like) with a small cup of brown rice or a thin multigrain roti. I try eating as less carbs as possible at night.”
Apart from eating right and having a low-carb diet at night, she also believes in working out and moving around to lose flab and build lean muscle mass. Here’s her workout plan.
Bhumi’s Workout Regimen
For her exercise routine, Bhumi alternates between cardio and weights at the gym. Doing cardio at least thrice a week as a part of the fitness regime helps her burn calories and shed fat. Going for weight training twice a week will improve your muscle mass, tone your body, and improve muscle strength and power.
You may also try circuit training, plyometrics, bodyweight exercises, and functional training to make your workouts challenging and fun. Yoga practice, High-intensity interval training (HIIT), and calisthenics are some other things you can try.
