The turning point: While I always had a realisation that I was piling on kilos slowly, it was the way I had started looking in pictures that startled me. I joined a gym to lose weight but I did not like the exhausting workout. So, I started searching for exercises that I might enjoy on youtube and I found the Zumba videos. Now, I have started doing Zumba daily with high intensity.
My breakfast: I begin my day with a glass of lukewarm water with a dash of lemon. Then, I eat soaked almonds with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. At around nine in the morning, I eat one chapati with a bowl of vegetables.
My lunch: My lunch consists of two chapatis and a bowl of vegetables.
Pre-workout meal: My pre-workout meal is 1 banana or puffed rice.
Post-workout meal: I only drink water after working out.
My dinner: A bowl of rice with dal and vegetables with raita or papad.
I indulge in: I absolutely love eating chicken biryani and Chinese cuisine.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by: I am a big fan of carrot and beetroot.
Fitness secrets I unveiled: I have realised that you need to have self-control on your quest to lose weight.
