In her post, Deepika shared a collage featuring pancakes with whipped cream, brownie with ice cream, and samosas. Her caption addressed common misconceptions about dieting.
Deepika, who is expecting her first child, wrote: `Surprised to see this on my feed? Well, I eat! And I eat well! Ask anyone who knows me. So don't believe anything else you might hear or read. The trick? Balance, Consistency, and Listening to YOUR Body.` Her message underscores the importance of a sustainable approach to eating.
The 38-year-old actress highlighted the widespread misunderstanding surrounding the word 'diet'. `There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding around the word 'Diet'. We often believe that 'Diet' means to starve, to eat less, and to eat all of the things we detest. What 'Diet' really means is the total of all the food and drink consumed by an individual.`
Deepika explained the origin of the word diet, noting, `The word actually comes from the Greek word 'diaita', which means 'way of life'. I've always, for as long as I can remember, followed a 'Balanced Diet'.`
Deepika also shared her views on indulgence, stating, `And it is for me 'a way of life'. I've never followed a diet that I cannot be consistent with or one that is a fad. Now, do I indulge? Of course, I do, as demonstrated above! But it most certainly isn't my way of life.`
She concluded with a reflection on the phrase 'you are what you eat', sharing, `If there's one thing I've learnt (the hard-ish way) it is that those words couldn't be truer.`
On the work front, Deepika will next be seen in Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Again' alongside Ajay Devgn. Her balanced approach to diet and life continues to inspire her fans and followers.
