1. Choose a low-carb diet
Studies have shown that eating low carb and high protein diet helps one’s body to eat fewer calories and have a toned body. This diet can help you lose 2-3 times as much weight as a standard low-fat diet while improving your health at the same time. A low-carb diet reduces your hunger and makes it easier to eat less.
2. Eat only when hungry
If you’re not hungry you probably don’t need to eat yet. Always eat enough, so that you feel satisfied, especially in the beginning of the weight-loss process. Doing this on a low-carb diet means that the fat you eat will be burned as fuel by your body, as your levels of the fat storing hormone insulin will be lowered.
3. Minimise your Caffeine Habit
Caffeine is the most terrible property if you wish to have a healthy body. A healthy intake of coffee is 1-2 cups which helps one body to feel energetic and also boosts metabolism. Caffeine increases the release of acid in your stomach, sometimes causing heartburn or an upset stomach. For those looking to lose weight, excess acidity is to be avoided, as acidity precedes cortisol release.
4. Drink Water
Drinking water can boost metabolism by 24-30% over a period of 1-1.5 hours, helping you burn off a few more calories. Studies have shown that people who drink 6 to 8 litres of water a day tend to live a healthy life. Water cleans the toxins from the body and throws out the unnecessary rubbish from the system. It also cleans the skin and makes it look young and fresh.
5. Lift Weights
Studies have demonstrated that after a weight-training workout, metabolism can be boosted for up to 38 hours post-workout. The best option is to go to the gym 3–4 times a week. Do a warm-up and lift some weights. If lifting weights is not an option for you, then doing some cardio workouts like walking, jogging, running, cycling or swimming will meet your requirements.

Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “In my opinion, she (Alia) is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
