How did Sonam Shed Pounds
It was Sonam's mother who kept her going and motivated her throughout her weight loss programme.

Sonam's Diet
As suggested by her trainer Zarine, Sonam ate six small meals instead of three bulky ones. The meals were high in protein and low in carbohydrates. And her diet was as follows:
Breakfast: Oatmeal and fruits
Post-workout: Brown bread with egg whites, Protein shake with juice
Lunch: Dal, sabzi, one ragi roti, salad and a piece of chicken or fish
Evening Snacks: High-fibre crackers, chicken cold cuts or egg whites
Dinner: Soup, salad and a piece of chicken or fish
She never stays hungry for too long and loves snacking on dry and fresh fruits. And she knows the importance of staying hydrated. She loves beverages like buttermilk and cucumber juice.
Sonam and Yoga
Yoga forms an intrinsic part of her fitness regime. Power yoga by Bharat Thakur was one of the tools that helped her achieve a drastic weight loss.
Starving will never help you stay slim. "Believe me when I say this, I eat every two hours, still I manage to stay slim, all because I have my priorities set right," she was quoted as having said.
Sonam now realizes the importance of staying healthy consistently. She says that she does not do all this because her profession demands this, rather staying fit and healthy is a philosophy which she has incorporated in her life.
It's important to keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of water
And no emotional atyachaar by foods. Start building resistance towards comfort foods like sweets, ice creams, chocolates, fried foods etc.
