Alia Bhatt opens up about her real postpartum weight loss journey, powered by self-care and pilates

1.Alia Bhatt chose natural weight loss process

Alia Bhatt revealed she didn’t pressure herself after childbirth. She dismissed rumours of unnatural weight loss, saying she couldn’t even extract a wisdom tooth due to breastfeeding at the time.

 

2.Walks, Pilates, and more

Alia began her fitness journey with short walks and breathing exercises. By 12 weeks, she began her Pilates, yoga, light cardio, and strength training, all while eating balanced, nutrient-rich meals.

 

3.Breastfeeding, gond laddus, and balanced diet

Alia credited breastfeeding for aiding weight loss and ate wholesome foods like fruits, grains, and proteins including gond ke laddus made by her mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor.

 

4.No crash diets

Alia didn’t track her weight obsessively and chose to weigh herself just once every two weeks. Her goal wasn’t to "snap back" but to recover slowly, prioritising long-term well-being.

 

5.Alia Bhatt’s advice to new moms

Alia urged new mothers to let their bodies heal naturally and not fall for quick-fix solutions. “It’s okay to gain weight during pregnancy as you’re creating life,” she reminded everyone.
