1. She Substitutes Food

Dastur talked about her diet to Miss Malini. She says that she has substituted different foods for healthier options. “I tried the whole diet regime but couldn’t keep it up because of my radical shooting schedules and travelling,” Dastur says. “I just don’t eat bread unless it’s Gluten Free, NO Rice at all (switched from rice to quinoa) and absolutely no dairy in my diet. I drink coffee with soy or almond milk or milk powder. No cheese unless it’s cashew cheese and I’ve switched from sugar to honey.”

2. She Loves Protein & Veggies.

Dastur also revealed her go-to meals to Miss Malini. She says that in each of her meals she includes protein and vegetables. “My breakfast is a three egg-white omelette with tomato, coriander, garlic & carrots with a slice of gluten free bread. Lunch and dinner are usually the same – 3 veggie dishes made in ghee (very little) + Dal + grilled chicken or fish.”

3. She Loves Fruit

When Dastur grabs a snack, she likes to go with fruit. She shared some of her favorites to Miss Malini. “During the day, I snack on fruits which have a high water content,” she says. “Like watermelon, grapes, oranges and some dry fruits when I’m in the mood for something crunchy.”

4. She Still Indulges

Dastur isn’t afraid of indulging. She tells Miss Malini that she believes in balance. “My cheat day is usually Sunday,” she says. “I go crazy with pizza for breakfast, KFC for lunch & risotto or Pasta for dinner. I am a procrastinator by nature and can’t stick to a gym routine but here’s a treat for all of you who can!”

5. She Swims

As you can see in her recent Instagram post, Dastur loves to swim. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. Dastur posted these underwater photos of herself snorkeling in the Maldives. She captioned the post, “DND, it’s mermaid time.” She also shared this photo from the same trip, captioning it, “Ariel who?”
