Share input on your daily diet routine? How do you like to kick start your day. 5 Foods you love to feast on
Ms. Pooja Sharma
I and Gaurabh go for a late workout session due to work commitments, so we sleep late too. I wake up around 8-9 AM.
My boys my “furbabies” are my first duty I take them for play and walk sessions so this way I and them get their first dose of “sunlight” and “movement” for the brain.” Sunlight & Movement(walk)” plays a very important role to make you awake and alert even to set your biological clock. Days I am too tired then I take them on a scooter ride.
Locking my phone away, technology is good but it’s important to know it can make or create you the way you use it.
Journal writing, very important to know what actually you are doing. warna pata nahi kab din dhal jaye 😉 it’s like a report card for each day.

Do you think weight acceptance and lack of body positivity are still an issue?
Ms. Pooja Sharma
When we say body positive it’s beyond the hashtag, I believe one must know what they want. Body positivity is about I am happy with who I am and I am me, I know what I want. Also giving what my body needs 🙂 Rest there are different types of people in the world and different choices.
Ms. Namita Nayyar
You always promote diets based on Indian food and palate, your ideology behind it? Also your thoughts on “weight loss” foods like quinoa, avocado, and kale?
Ms.Bhumika Gurung
)We are so much focused on good or bad diets and I know each diet there will be vowing, because it matches their goal and lifestyle. So what’s your lifestyle, people are different and so is their lifestyle. I would say just like how you choose shoes for your type and size, then even your diet you should. It was my ego saying loudly only desi. I still love desi as it suits best for me and Indian lifestyle, but if you love other types that should be your choice. Let me give you an example from my house, me and Gaurabh follow different diets as per our goals and choice, and we respect that.

How important do you think is good diet is essential for glowing skin? Foods one should avoid to get combat skin aging
Ms. Pooja Sharma
My definition of a good diet is one that you can enjoy without putting yourself in conflict, there is a difference between craving and conflict. I know I love desi, so I don’t get confused about trying any other diet. I also know craving is a habit of eating, so I don’t keep what I crave for and keep what I need to eat.
“Happy mind, good food, sunlight, water well you are made of this, you will get good and glow” then additional things you can always do, but understand foundation.
Food to avoid ?
Anything which is abundant, even if it’s your favorite healthy food. Our brain thinks more about what you don’t so let’s work on what we like rather? and it will be easy, you know what you want 🙂 and rest it depends on your goal, there is no superpower or magic pill. But “conflict” personality leads to failure. Lemme tell you food is an addiction and you can get out of it.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Lastly, your message for Women Fitness India readers, on how important is to be mentally and physically fit in these tough times? Your views on the website womenfitness.org
Ms. Pooja Sharma
I would like to say, ladies, there are many times we behave a certain way. Find out if it is an addiction, or your behavior is the result of past experiences. There are a lot of people who develop stressful eating habits due to childhood trauma. It can be physical, mental, or sexual. See your pattern, address that behavior, accept and work on your inner child. I recently got to know about my pattern, behavior and started addressing my behavior. Escaping is not a solution, address, accept and heal. Your power is beyond this, I wish I had a magic stick. But I am sending positive vibes 🙂 Speak to someone or write to yourself.
Thank you for providing me with this platform to share my journey with my sisters, Fitness is a tribe, and thank you women fitness magazine for bringing this tribe together”
