Neha Dhupia's macrobiotic diet

Neha Dhupia
My workouts comprise indoor and outdoor routines with a mixture of cardio and weight training thrice a week. I also play squash and often go for a swim. Both are great forms of cardio that not only make you sweat but also help you disconnect from the woes of the world and make you focus on what you have at hand, thereby improving your ability to concentrate and maximise your output. 
Playing a sport or swimming helps maintain the interest level in a workout and adds the fun element. I also practise yoga, something I've been doing for many years now. I believe that you need to have a balance in your workouts as cardio helps build stamina and yoga helps provide the necessary balance and overall well being. 

My Problem Areas 
My curves. But I always use them to my advantage since I don't believe in size zero. 

My Strengths 
While I enjoy sweating it out in the gym. I believe my strength lies in my attitude. When I work out I always feel it is mind over body and because of that I'm always able to push myself a little more. 

My Diet 
I am currently on a macrobiotic diet which is 80 per cent organic. I don't eat anything that comes out of a can. Hence, I eat freshly cooked vegetables, fresh fruits and consume freshly-made fruit and vegetable juices. I tend to stay away from red meat but I do give in once in a while. I love ghar ka khana because I know it is fresh and without preservatives.
