Sonakshi Sinha's weight loss from 90 to 60 kilos

Sonakshi Sinha stunned the viewers of ‘Dabangg’ with her glowing beauty and smoldering screen presence. Once weighing in at 90 kilos, the necessity of losing weight first occurred to Sonakshi while she was a student of fashion designing. Following the realization, Sonakshi started out on her rigorous health regime, which effectively dropped her weight from 90 to 60 kilos. Today, the star has a solid ticket to Bollywood and recently even reaped the Filmfare award for the best new face in the industry.

Sonakshi’s health regime includes a high protein diet and a strict control on carbs. Sonakshi says a big No to consuming carbohydrate-rich food after the evening hours. She also gives a thumbs-up to drinking lots of green tea in a day.

Under the guidance of Salman Khan, Sonakshi started off her routine by working out at the gym two times each week. Slowly she inculcated the habit of weight-training along with gymming around 4 or 5 times in a single week. Sonakshi also says that spinning is something that went a long way in helping her lose weight.

Hot yoga is another one of her secrets. Sonakshi regularly works out various yoga positions in a steamed room at 40 degrees. She loves yoga and prefers it to performing plain aerobic exercises. Also quite a sportswoman, Sonakshi enjoys playing tennis.

There are no shortcuts to weight loss, says Sonakshi. She says that she would not consider going into drastic weight loss techniques and that slow and steady is her way to go about it.

‘Stop eating carbs after six in the evening and drink several cups of green tea throughout the day.’
Sonakshi also insists that you must hit the gym along with keeping a check on your calorie intake.
