Dieting is about eating what suits the body: Deepika Padukone

Mumbai, Aug 5 (ANI): Actress Deepika Padukone has said dieting should not be about starving, or stopping oneself from eating, but about eating what suits the body.

Launching of a book and a DVD called 'Jaldi Fit' by fitness expert Namita Jain, on Wednesday in Mumbai, she said:

"Understand what suits your body and follow that. Dieting is not about starving yourself or stopping yourself from what you crave to eat."

The actress also revealed her fitness regimen, saying she preferred yoga to working out in the closed atmosphere of a gymnasium surrounded by people.

"When people say they do hundred Suryanamaskars a day, I think they are lying because if you really do it correctly, if you are following the right technique and if you are also practicing the breathing at the same time, it's very, very difficult. Even, I think, even 10 to 15 would be very difficult to do," said Padukone.

She added that fitness is something that one does for oneself, and that the combination of right food with the right workout is the key to fitness. By Shaikh Sharik (ANI)
