Some rules I have about my lifestyle which I don’t change for anything, she said, as she shared the following:
*I fast for 16 hours at least five days a week
*Workout (six days a week) on an empty stomach and then eat always.
*I change my eating pattern depending on the weather. I am in our home in the hills where it’s cooler and I’m hungrier…so three meals a day. But in Mumbai, always just two meals a day and no snacking
Masaba Gupta said she follows the same type of diet almost every day. (Source: Masaba Gupta/Instagram)
*I don’t believe in fad diets (tried and tested) cutting out any food even 100 per cent – even dairy which gives me acne instantly. I have curd once in a while as well. But I probably won’t have a glass of milk ever.
*Everything I do is in order to keep my PCOD in control which for me is directly linked to weight gain. So, in order to break the cycle of putting on weight, taking pills, I prefer to cut out on medicines and keep my weight down. And my PCOD is much milder and I am off the pill.
*Asleep at 10-10.30 pm and awake by 6.30-7 am nearly every day.
*Dinner at sunset and nothing after. Only water.
Masaba prefers to follow her routine without fail. (Source: Masaba Gupta/Instagram Stories)
*Eat home-cooked meals as much as you can. If you want a burger, make it at home. But if there’s a food you love from your favourite restaurant, indulge once in a while.

“A diet shouldn’t be one you can hold only for a short period of time – it should be one you can sustain for life,” she mentioned while describing how workouts and diet complement each other. “No workout can fix a bad diet and no activity won’t help a great diet,” she added.
She also gave a sneak peek into what she has every day.

Rotizza: The best cheese-free kuttu atta mixed-veggie pizza. Just one before sunset. This is dinner every single day with different toppings. I’ve eaten this nearly every day for a month, and I wake up feeling light and have so much more energy than a big meal.

Talking about how she doesn’t eat a lot of mangoes for the fear of pigmentation, she expressed, “Of course, they are (bad for the skin). I had too much the other day, and I have a breakout. But it is also good for digestion, eye health, nourishes your liver, packed with potassium, magnesium, and promotes sleep too. But I have it before 4-5 pm as otherwise, it is too heavy.”
She also said how she likes to indulge in one mango a day which is first soaked in cold water for some time.
Mangoes give her pigmentation, she revealed. (Source: Masaba Gupta/Instagram Stories)
