Indian actress Nikki Tamboli is on vacation in beautiful Goa, India. Tamboli, 26, shared pictures of herself posing on a sun lounger in a very bright one-piece swimsuit, and standing next to the pool holding a flower. “Life’s better in [a] bikini ⚡️✨🍸,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tamboli stays in shape.
1. Small Meals
Tamboli prefers smaller meals throughout the day. “Fitness for me is like oxygen, a necessity,” she says. “It gives me mental peace. I believe that for healthy functioning of the body one needs to take a proper balanced diet of 5 to 6 small meals rather than eating 3 big meals in a day. It’s about maintaining a proper balanced nutritious diet. Being fit is not just about how the body looks but how well and healthy it is even from within.”
2. Fish and Salad For Lunch
Tamboli tends to skip breakfast and then enjoy a light lunch of fish, salad, or soup. “Try to eat at least two servings a week of fish, particularly fish that's rich in omega-3 fatty acids,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Doing so appears to reduce the risk of heart disease, particularly sudden cardiac death.”
3. Raspberries and Strawberries

Tamboli’s favorite fruits are raspberries and strawberries. “Fresh or frozen is better than dried,” says Kathleen Johnson, MA, RD, LDN. “Dried berries have only 20 percent as many phytonutrients, and more sugar.”
4. Coffee All Day
Tamboli takes shots of espresso throughout the day. Coffee is known to have many health benefits, including for liver health. “You have to consume regular coffee — not decaf — daily to get the liver benefits,” says Jamile Wakim-Fleming, MD. “There’s something inherent about caffeine that is helpful to the liver.”
5. Green Tea Before Bed
Tamboli swears by a cup of green tea at night. “Having green tea right before bed is one habit I swear by,” she says. “It gives me the detox I need after an entire day. Also, I travel with my own set of foods and healthy juice that I prepare at home. That way I don’t get tempted by outside junk or ready-sugar drinks. It has all the goodness of lime, guava, carrots, and a hint of mint.”
