Kareena Kapoor Khan's nutritionist, Rujuta Diwekar had once mentioned that the mommy-of-two prefers to eat a bowl of makhana (foxnuts) as a mid-afternoon snack. For the unversed, the 41-year-old actress is often spotted carrying a box full of ghee roasted makhana on her shoots. During her first post-pregnancy period, Bebo was also asked about the same in an interview with the India Tv. To this, she had confirmed that she used to eat plant-based food to lose weight and maintain glowy skin in her post-pregnancy diet. Kareena was heard saying:
“I ate makhana, filled with proteins and antioxidants, and I was able to shed weight, yet retain my glow.”
Makhana (foxnuts or lotus seeds) comes from a Euryale Fox plant, which grows in the stagnant water of wetlands or ponds in Sothern or Eastern Asia. It is an excellent source of several micronutrients, including calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus and also contains a good amount of carbs in each serving. With a low profile of saturated fats, cholesterol and sodium, it is a traditional Indian snack to maintain one's diet. Other than Kareena's favourite ghee roasted makhana, it is also eaten in several forms such as spiced makhana, makhana bhel diced with onion, cucumber and tomato, makhana raita, makhana chivda including a mix of gram dal, peanuts, spices and cashew nuts, nylon sev, caramel makhana and among others.

Earlier, Rujuta Diwekar had talked about Kareena Kapoor Khan's massive transformations post-pregnancy in her audiobook, Eating In The Age Of Dieting. Rujuta had revealed Bebo's breakfast regime and how she eats sixty to ninety minutes before her pre-workout session. She also added that Kareena follows the routine of drinking nimbu pani after one healthy lunch and many more. She had added:
“Eat that wholesome meal sixty to ninety minutes pre-workout to ensure that you are able to optimize muscle fiber recruitment during exercise. This leads to a bigger afterburn (more calories burned post-workout), and you get your results in a shorter period of time. Nimbu pani with kesar and black salt keeps the afternoon slump away. The Kesar works miracles for the hair and skin, while the ginger and Kala namak combo will leave you feeling light and helps avoid bloating on tough working days.”
