I recently watched Alia and Rujuta's live chat discussion online. I was baffled by some of the advice given out by Rujuta and honestly don't believe Alia is following her advice at all. Eat sugar, eat deep fried foods and have white bread. I've never heard of such baloney all my life. The look on Alias face said it all. Rujuta is simply using Alia to lure vulnerable women and youngsters in this weight loss trap. The fact she charges 5 lacs just to tell people to eat locally is absurd. She made more sense when she collaborated with Kareena five years ago. I'm not ruling out everything she says but at one point she said dancing and keeping fit would cure acidity and Alia was like that's not going to help with acidity is it? She was like no but it would make you feel better. What?!? Rujuta cannot answer questions on the spot..she struggles. Below are some of the things Alia and Rujuta are advocating. She doesn't emphasise on quantities of ghee, rice etc. You can't just have unlimited amounts of these foods if someone is obese for e.g. and wants to reduce their waistline.
------------------------------------------
Alia said don't measure food and eat. As per Rujuta, food should not be reduced to groups such as carbs, proteins and fats. You should eat food in moderation. "Everyone's talking about gluten-free pizza, brown bread and red rice, about reducing their carb intake, and I'm eating white bread and butter at 4am. Rujuta showed me how local food eaten in moderation can be healthy, Alia said.
Rujuta says sugar is a natural coolant and one should add sugar in lemonade than honey. Nimbu paani is healthy for hair and not having sugar can give you cramps.
I make my paneer and dahi from that organic milk too and consume it fresh. It works as a natural fat burner and gives me a good skin tone. It's my job to look fabulous, said Alia. She also eats dal khichdi and curd rice with a spoonful of ghee.
Alia says a vegetarian diet can also have lots of proteins. Even curd rice has proteins. "Have plenty of vegetables and grains and that fulfil the protein requirement, said Rujuta.
Nope, salt is not bad food. Less salt can lead to hypertension, blood pressure issues, etc. Don't skip the salt. Also, locally single pressed oils are the best such as mustard oil, coconut oil, peanut oil.
