Deepika Padukone is sharing more photos from her Filmfare magazine shoot, in honor of the new movie Gehraiyaan! The Bollywood star is one of a few actors splashed on the cover of the most recent issue of the magazine, in which she models a variety of swimsuits within the pages.

Read on to see 5 ways Deepika Padukone stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. This Is Her Diet

Deepika eats a very healthy diet, per Fabbon. This is what she eats in a day.

  • “Breakfast: Two eggs + low fat milk or South Indian food i.e. upma, idli, dosa
  • Pre-lunch: Bowl of fruits
  • Lunch: 2 chapattis, fish and fresh vegetables
  • Evening Snacks: Nuts and filter coffee
  • Dinner: Chapattis, veggies and fresh salad (‘At night, I try to eat a light meal, but sometimes I don't succeed,’ she said.)”

2. She Drinks Tons of Fluids

Deepika prioritizes hydration. “I make sure that I drink two liters of water a day to flush out toxins. I also have coconut water daily,” Deepika said, according to Fabbon. She also drinks juices and smoothies. Use plant-based protein and a nut milk. That way, you strip your smoothies of the dairy, sugars, and artificial ingredients so common in popular shakes, so you can maximize all that’s great about protein smoothies while zeroing out the negative. That means you’ll be getting optimal nutrition in a delicious, easy-to-digest drink you can have at any point of the day.

3. She Eats Every Two Hours

Another Deekika’s other eating strategies, per Fabbon? Eating small meals every two hours. “My snacking is limited to health foods like walnuts, almonds and dry fruits,” she said. Her choice of snacks is great. Make sure yours include protein and one of the following:

  • Monounsaturated fats: olives and olive oil; nuts (including peanuts) and nut butters; avocado; dark chocolate (at least 72 percent cacao)
  • Polyunsaturated fats: oily fish such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, or sardines; flaxseed; sunflower seeds; sunflower oil; sesame seeds; pine nuts
  • Plant-based saturated fats: coconut (no sugar added), coconut oil (not hydrogenated)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: wild salmon, tuna, sardines and other cold-water fish; flaxseed; walnuts; chia seeds

4. She Allows Herself to Cheat…in Moderation

Deepika allows herself to cheat. “I absolutely love desserts and, yes, I cheat very often. I think the key is not to be hard on yourself, but use moderation. One should eat everything in required quantity. You must know what suits your body the best,” she said, per Fabbon.

5. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Deepika does a lot of exercises. Her go-to workout is pilates infused with Yoga for the mind-body experience. “I do a lot of freehand weights and four to five sets of stretching exercises with 10 to 20 reps in between Pilates or stretching routines,” she said, per Fabbon. “I don’t particularly like running, so I don’t do a lot of conventional gym exercises. I try and exercise as often as I can, but when I’m traveling or shooting, I tend to skip it for days on end.” 30 minute walks in the morning and evening are also part of her routine.

Deepika Padukone heats up the latest cover of Filmfare magazine! The gorgeous Bollywood star flaunts her fantastic figure in a white halter swimsuit, along with fellow actors Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, Dhairya Karwa, to talk about their new Amazon Prime romantic drama, Gehraiyaan, about a woman who confronts her troubled past when her cousin returns. How does the xXs: Return of Xander Cage star keep herself so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Deepika Padukone stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Her Diet Is Healthy

Eating right is a big part of Deepika’s stay-fit philosophy. Per Fabbon, this is what she eats in a day:

“Breakfast: Two eggs + low fat milk or South Indian food i.e. upma, idli, dosa

Pre-lunch: Bowl of fruits

Lunch: 2 chapattis, fish and fresh vegetables

Evening Snacks: Nuts and filter coffee

Dinner: Chapattis, veggies and fresh salad (‘At night, I try to eat a light meal, but sometimes I don't succeed,’ she said.)”

Between the nuts and eggs, she is getting her share of healthy fats, which are found in minimally-to-non-processed foods that are full of unsaturated fats and heart-healthy, polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. These are also the fats found in nature, from glorious foods like avocado, nuts, eggs, certain fish, and healthy oils such as olive oil. This is the healthy fat that helps you control your weight and strengthen your heart. And get this: they also help you burn fat—especially the monosaturated fats, which are the ones contained in nuts, avocados, and olives.

2. She Hydrates

“I make sure that I drink two liters of water a day to flush out toxins. I also have coconut water daily,” Deepika said, according to Fabbon. Juices and smoothies are other drinks she likes. Make sure you’re getting enough water throughout your days starting first thing in the morning.

3. She Eats Every Two Hours

Fabbon reports that another Deekika’s other eating strategy is making sure she eats something every two hours. “My snacking is limited to health foods like walnuts, almonds and dry fruits,” she said. Natural foods are smart choices. At the end of the day, there’s little difference between eating that processed snack than eating the box that it arrived in.

4. She Cheats

Deepika allows herself to indulge. “I absolutely love desserts and, yes, I cheat very often. I think the key is not to be hard on yourself, but use moderation. One should eat everything in required quantity. You must know what suits your body the best,” she said, per Fabbon. Indulging once in a while is healthy. Imagine a world in which you didn’t have to torture yourself at the gym for hours on end because you sneaked one cupcake. Imagine a world in which you didn’t have to slash tons of calories from your diet. Imagine a world in which you didn’t have to feel pangs of guilt every time you indulge in your favorite tasty foods—or desperately cling to some newfangled dieting fad.

5. She Does Various Workouts

Deepika’s go-to workout is pilates but incorporates Yoga for the mind-body experience. “I do a lot of freehand weights and four to five sets of stretching exercises with 10 to 20 reps in between Pilates or stretching routines,” she said, per Fabbon. “I don’t particularly like running, so I don’t do a lot of conventional gym exercises. I try and exercise as often as I can, but when I’m traveling or shooting, I tend to skip it for days on end.” She also takes 30 minute walks in the morning and evening.

2. She Accepts Herself As She Gets Older

Kapoor says that one of her wellness secrets is being comfortable with herself. She says that she has developed this confidence as she got older and more sure of herself. “I was obsessed with my body when I was in my twenties,” she says to Vogue. “The beauty about getting older is that you start accepting yourself with all your flaws.”

3. She Does Yoga

Kapoor is a big fan of practicing yoga at home as a way to stay in shape. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself doing a side pose and a tree pose on her mat.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
