She’s, she’s happening and above all she has the best body in town. Model-turned-actress Bipasha Basu shares her fitness secrets with us…
“I can only tell all the people who are not into any kind of exercise that the day you really put your heart into it, it becomes an addiction and it’s only a positive thing for you.You know you will have great skin, you will look good, you will be healthy, you’ll have no diseases, no health problems.” 
“I recommend fitness, in any kind, form, whether it is a sport, whether it is going to the gym, whether its walking up the floors of your building. I think some kind of fitness is a must. I’m a morning person. The first thing I do when I wake up is have a glass of hot water with lime and I have a cup of tea and five badams soaked overnight.
“After that I go for a workout. I always workout on an empty stomach because the burn is more. Then I have a very, very big breakfast. That also in a span of half an hour. You have to give your body that much break between working out and eating. I have lot of egg whites, brown toast and fruits. So you can keep changing your breakfast everyday depending on your taste and preferences. But a breakfast has to be a little bit heavy on the stomach because that jump starts your metabolism.”
“Also ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ and I totally believe that. I’m a little bit low on iron, so I love apples and pears.
Then there’s lunch. I keep it nice and simple. Some fish, sometimes dal, sabzi, chhapati depending on what your cook makes. Everything is made in olive oil. I don’t like too much oil in my food. But on occasions I don’t mind it. I do like pooris, and I do like parathas. But I don’t eat them everyday.”
“Well, I’m a Bengali and I can’t find taste in food without rice. When I started working out, just when I signed No Entry, I said I’m going to put away that one thing that’s so dear to me! I got rice out of my system. But I think wheat is great. You mix wheat with bajra, so you can have bajra ki roti soya rotis. You have to experiment with your cereals and vegetables.
I’m a true Bengali, I love fish and I love mithai, specially the Indian mithai. So I really won’t be able to help the sweet lovers! If you have a balanced diet most of the time, you can reward yourself and satisfy your cravings once in a while.”
“I think you should never, never cut off everything from your life. At the end of the day we are living and we are human beings.”
