Alia maintains that eating clean is the way to lose weight. She told StyleCraze that she had to drop pounds fast for a role. She started by eating organic and healthy foods. “I was put on to a personal fitness instructor, who put me on a diet. So all I ate was vegetables and chicken and gave up everything that I loved to eat,” she said.

2. Eat Several Small Meals a Day

Alia consumes several small meals per day, each with a source of protein, healthy fats, veggies, fruits, and fresh fruit juices in her diet. “I make it a point to have eight meals a day. That way, I can limit my portion sizes and food gets digested easily. This diet has worked for me,” she said.

3. Learn About Her Eating Plan

Alia shared a page from her daily diet:

Breakfast: A hot cup of herbal tea or coffee without sugar + a bowl of vegetable poha or an egg white sandwich.

Mid-Morning: A bowl of fruit (mostly papaya) or one idli with a bowl of sambar.

Lunch: 1 roti without ghee + lots of vegetables + 1 cup daal + curd or vegetable quinoa with chicken

Evening Snack: A cup of sugar-free tea or coffee + 1 one idli with a bowl of sambar

Dinner: 1 roti without ghee + a bowl of vegetables + 1 cup daal and occasionally a grilled chicken breast.

4. Exercise Six Days a Week

Regular exercise is also part of her routine. Alia works out with a trainer six days per week, mixing her workouts up between yoga, strength and weight training, and Pilates. “Progress not perfection,” she captioned this photo of herself striking a yoga pose.

5. Keep Challenging Yourself

To continue thriving with exercise, Alia continues challenging herself. “20 done 20 to go,” she captioned this photo, midway through a 40-day challenge. Sticking to an exercise challenge can be challenging, but with the right approach and mindset, it's definitely achievable. First, set clear and realistic goals for yourself. Make sure they are specific, measurable, and attainable within a given timeframe. Next, create a well-structured plan that includes a variety of exercises and incorporates both cardio and strength training. This will keep your routine interesting and prevent boredom. Additionally, find an exercise that you genuinely enjoy and that suits your preferences and abilities. It could be dancing, swimming, hiking, or any other activity that keeps you motivated. Consider finding a workout buddy or joining a fitness community for support and accountability. Track your progress to see how far you've come, which can boost your motivation. Finally, be kind to yourself and allow for occasional rest days. Remember, consistency is key, so stay committed and celebrate each milestone along the way.
