Wholesome, nutritious food is a part of healthy living and Priyanka absolutely supports this! A big foodie, Priyanka said that she loves eating and cannot help control her cravings, especially around the festival time. She also added that her life revolves around food and instead of avoiding meals completely, she has found smarter ways to deal with it. In fact, she did not shy away from talking about her weight problems!

“I have breakfast talking about lunch, lunch talking about dinner. Especially around Diwali and Christmas, I always put on weight. January, February & March it takes me time to shed those extra kilos and come back to my summer body,” she said.

Priyanka also stressed on the importance of hydration and added that she always carries a big bottle of water with her, all the time. She also said that she is trying to cut down on caffeine, admitting that it is indeed hard!

While Priyanka is not a morning person, the actress does try starting her mornings on a healthy note. She likes grabbing a good cup of coffee as a pre-workout drink and later, for breakfast, she has something like an omelet, avocado toast. If Indian food is on her mind, idli, dosa or poha top the list. When’s she at home in India, she loves to feast on parathas!

A true blue desi girl, Priyanka shares that she loves eating desi food for lunch when she is home.

“I am eating Nachni rotis (ragi rotis) these days. They are healthy and taste good as well. Since I am going all vegetarian these days, I love bhindi, dal, aloo gobi. I always need curd, achar (pickles) and salads are very important. I eat roast fish, veggies, fresh salads.”

On other days, when she has a jam-packed schedule or a shoot, a grain or vegetable salad gets her going,

Just like Kareena Kapoor Khan, makhanas (foxnuts) are Priyanka’s go-to snacks. When she can, her favourite cheat meal is eating a chaat!

Priyanka keeps more calorie dense meals for the first half of the day and prefers to have a boring dinner, like a soup, or on some days, she even has leftovers from lunch!

Eat well and burn those calories too! That’s the only mantra on the actress’ mind. Priyanka works out in the morning under a personal trainer and does a combination of cardio and weight training exercises. She also likes to experiment with her regime, adding that she likes to skip rope from time to time!

“I love it, which I used to do in school and during Mary Kom, I learnt it really well. It is easy to carry in your bag as well.”
