Eat every 2 hours, says Shital Thakkar |
Apart from acting in serials and anchoring shows, Shital is also a trained Bharat Natyam dancer. Shital is not a health freak, but she follows an exercise regime to stay fit. She shares her food and fitness mantras with shaaditimes. Not a health freak I do go to the gym at least twice or thrice a week or whenever I get time. On other days, I go on a walk with my dog atleast for half an hour. I run and play with him and that's how I burn my calories. I am not a health freak as such. I am not into yoga or meditation. Whenever I get some time for myself I listen to music and relax myself and my mind. Eat every two hours I start my day with a glass of hot water with lime and honey. I have a brown bread sandwich without butter and a glass of seasonal fruit juice. If it's too hot, I have Tang or coconut water. I believe in eating every 2 hours. At around 12.30 I have some fruits. Then at 1.30 I have my lunch consisting of roti , sabzi and some soup. If I am shooting, I carry my dabba . If I find something interesting on the set, I have it. In the evening at around 4.00 or 5.00 I have some light snacks like khakara or some fruits. At around 6.30 or 7.00 I like to eat all the goodies like chat , pani puri , bhel . If I am not shooting I like to have my dinner early at around 8.30. I don't like Indian sweets and hate milk. I love chocolates and pastries. I can cook anything I eat out atleast twice or thrice a week because I like to eat out. My favourites are China Gate, Crepe station at Bandra and Subway. I don't cook often but I like to cook. Infact, I did my Hotel Management after I finished my graduation. I can cook most Indian recipes. Whenever I am expecting guests at home, I love to do the cooking because I like to be a good host. I make very good desserts, pastas and Indian food. |
