Sonam works out on a Pilates reformer with trainer Radhika Karle. According to her longtime trainer, Sonam has “great body awareness and good core strength” and she did pilates throughout her pregnancy. “We are in the home stretch of Sonam’s pregnancy so the workout is a combination of strength training using dumbbells, Therabands, and resistance loops, plus Pilates on the apparatus. Pilates is a great form of mindful movement that helps with posture and strengthens the core muscles. We are working on keeping strength up while stretching and relaxing lower back and pelvic floor muscles,” she told indianexpress.com in 2022.

2. Healthy Diet

Karle, who is also Sonam’s nutritionist, told indianexpress.com during her pregnancy the star ate small portions of clean, fresh, seasonal homemade Indian food. “She is doing a fantastic job of taking her prenatal supplements, drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated in this humidity, and eating in a timely manner to keep energy levels up and avoid acidity,” Karle said. Sonam also avoided eating more. “It’s a myth when people say eat for two! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Please be sensible while eating if you’re carrying a single baby you need only 350 calories more!” Sonam added in an Instagram Story.

3. Yoga

“I try and exercise for two hours a day,” Sonam told Vogue India. She added that yoga is one of her go to workouts. “I did yoga and Pilates throughout my pregnancy. It isn’t dangerous to move” she added on Instagram. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. Hydration

Sonam also makes sure to hydrate. “Beat the heat with some refreshing coconut water,” she captioned a post. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

5. No Sugar

“I try not to eat junk but I'm not overly strict with my diet. The one thing I avoid consciously is sugar.,” Sonam told Vogue India about her diet. Her midnight cheat snack? “Fried potatoes—fries or crisps, I'm easy,” she said. She’s also “obsessed with avocado on toast” and regularly craves carbs, like “truffle risotto or some fried rice.”

4. Subhead Goes Right Here

In February, Carnie elaborated on why she decided to embark on a weight loss journey. “My body started rejecting gluten and sugar ... and with my blood sugars at a six ... cholesterol at 225 I was not heading in a good direction,”she wrote on Instagram. “I had a pain in my tummy and had an ultrasound to be sure I had no gallstones. Luckily, I did not. I was too scared to give up the food that I thought was bringing me comfort.”

5. Her Weight Loss Journey Is “An Act of Self Love”

“I know there are many ways to lose weight quicker, but it comes down to calories in versus calories expended,” she continued. “For me, this was an act of self love ... knowing which food made me feel like shit and also knowing I can't eat it. The result has been weight loss, more energy, feeling more positive, hopeful, in control and confident. I'm not counting calories or going too cray cray with the scale.”

This was the most uncomfortable part. And the most difficult part too. It took so much therapy. So many tears. So much uncertainty. Fear. Setbacks. Discomfort. Self doubt. Then came the self realisations. Thus began the healing.”

For dinner, I prefer to eat a light meal of dal or sauteed veggies.”
