Sugar is addictive and that is scary, says Shilpa Shetty Kundra

Known to be possibly one of the fittest moms in Bollywood, Shilpa Shetty Kundra took many by surprise when she posted pictures of her Sunday binge food on her social media accounts.

It does look like Shipla enjoys a lavish meal once in a while, with the exception of one major item in her diet — sugar. At a recent event, the actress revealed that she’s reduced her intake of sugar and hopes to cut it down even further. “Over the past three weeks, I have changed my life by cutting down on sugar. It’s a huge modification. Sugar is addictive, and that is scary,” she said.

So concerned is Shilpa, that she’s trying to imbibe this habit in her five-year-old son Viaan Raj Kundra as well. “I’ve taken sugar out of my son’s life as well,” she says, admitting that the process has been difficult. “We are living in a time where every counter in a mall has lollypops and other sugary delights. It’s tempting for a child — they don’t know the difference between right and wrong,” she elaborated.

Talking about her food habits, she explained, “Most people think that hitting the gym is enough. I have always said that a good diet is 70 per cent food and 30 per cent exercise. It could be any kind of workout regime, be it yoga or cardio.”
