With age and perimenopause , workouts are adjusted based on what my body needs. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone..

. it is a stress buster for me when I go to the gym. When I come out, I feel extremely calm.

Gym or exercises are my holy grail...

Since I’m naturally lean, too much cardio makes me too thin. My trainer tweaks my HIIT workouts weekly based on how I’m feeling.” A post shared by Gautami Kapoor (@gautamikapoor) Gautami’s diet is disciplined but not restrictive Gautami eats everything, but on fixed meal times; doesn’t snack much, except for nuts, seeds, or homemade protein bars.

She has cut out dairy too because of health issues. Explaining her diet, the actor said, “People assume I avoid fried food, ghee , or butter, but I eat everything. My meals are fixed — I eat at 11:30 am, and my last meal is by 6:30 am.

.. I’m lucky I don’t have a sweet tooth.

.. milk and curd made me feel uneasy, so I stopped completely.

I haven’t even switched to almond milk. I just drink black coffee twice a day..

. for 20 years, I’ve only had warm water. No cold or room-temperature water — just plain warm water throughout the day.
