Kareena Kapoor's Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar Reveals The Only Diet That Actually Works
Last Updated: July 05, 2025, 09:53 IST
Rujuta advised against crash diets and promoted a sustainable approach to eating.
Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar is reminding everyone that real wellness doesn't come from crash diets or calorie obsession, but from food habits that feel good, make sense, and actually last.
Taking to her Instagram, Rujuta Diwekar who famously worked with Kareena Kapoor during her fitness transformations, shared a powerful throwback clip with a message that she believes is as relevant today as ever. Sharing the video, she wrote, 'So much more to life than weight loss. Your diet should help you live a full life. An old clip, but the message is still the same."
Take a look at the video here.
Forget the Scale, Focus on Feeling Good
In the video, Rujuta redefines what success looks like when it comes to food and health. 'The only diet that works is the one that allows you to be more productive throughout the day," she says. It's not about looking a certain way or shrinking into a smaller size. Instead, the focus is on energy levels, sleep quality, and mental clarity – things we often overlook in favour of aesthetics. She adds, 'It's the one that helps you sleep better, improves your mood, and makes you feel genuinely good about yourself." A telling sign, according to her, is how you respond to compliments. 'If someone compliments you and you instantly deflect it, saying it's because of the outfit or lighting, it's probably not the right diet for you."
The Long Game: Joy Over Restriction

Her advice leans away from fad diets and food guilt, pushing instead for a lifestyle that's joyful and deeply rooted in self-awareness. 'Be on a diet that you truly believe you can follow for the rest of your life. If it feels restrictive or joyless, it's not the right one," she says.
While fitness trends come and go, Rujuta's philosophy is refreshingly steady: eat local, honour your body, and don't treat food as the enemy. Her approach continues to resonate with thousands, especially in a world that's still overwhelmed by detoxes, cleanses, and crash plans.
