Ritabhari Loses 18 Kgs in a Year and a Half, How? Discover the Actress's Diet and Fitness Routine
Ritabhari Chakraborty is one of the most popular actresses in Tollywood. Along with her acting, her fitness and style have also garnered significant interest from fans. However, a few years ago, due to health issues, she underwent multiple surgeries and her weight increased considerably due to medication. Now, after a long period of patience, she has shed that extra weight and returned to her previous slim figure.
### Why Did Ritabhari's Weight Increase?
Ritabhari revealed that a few years ago, she had to go through consecutive surgeries. She even had to have her gallbladder removed. Before the first surgery, her weight was so low that her body was shaking during the operation. After that, on the advice of doctors, she had to gain weight before the second surgery.
Subsequently, due to several more surgeries, steroid medications, and her physical condition, her weight continued to rise. At one point, according to doctors' advice, she could not exercise much.
### 18 Kgs Lost in a Year and a Half
Currently, the situation has changed significantly. Ritabhari decided to lose weight not to become thin but to stay fit. Over the past year and a half, she has gradually lost almost 18 kgs.
The actress claims she did not use any medications to lose weight. Following the advice of doctors and nutritionists, she made changes to her diet, exercised, and adhered to a disciplined lifestyle.
### What Does Ritabhari Eat?
Upon waking up in the morning, the actress first drinks coconut water. For breakfast, she has one whole egg, three egg whites, a slice of buttered bread, and a banana. After the meal, she drinks tea or coffee. After her gallbladder surgery, Ritabhari stopped drinking tea or coffee on an empty stomach. Additionally, she avoids tea or coffee after 6 PM.
For lunch, she sometimes has mutton stew with brown rice, and other times roasted chicken, kabuli chana dal, and two rotis. She always includes a bowl of salad, preferring a simple salad made with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. Over time, she has increased the amount of protein and fiber in her diet.
If she feels like having something tasty in the afternoon, the actress opts for healthy alternatives. Chaat, churumur, murmura, or corn chaat are on her list. Dinner is comparatively lighter, but she emphasizes protein in her meals.
### Focus on Exercise
Not just controlling her diet, regular exercise is also a crucial part of Ritabhari's weight loss journey. Besides going to the gym, she also walks. The actress dedicates almost an hour each day to exercising.
### Sunday is ‘Cheat Day’
However, even though she follows a strict diet throughout the week, on Sundays, Ritabhari enjoys her favorite foods. On that day, she has mutton biryani on her plate. Since she doesn't like chicken biryani, she enjoys half a plate of mutton biryani.
Currently, she has also controlled her daily calorie intake. According to Ritabhari, she does not consume more than 1500 calories a day.
However, she has followed this entire weight loss process under the guidance of doctors and nutritionists. Therefore, it is safer to consult an expert according to one’s physical condition rather than strictly following her diet.
