Deepika's message began with an emphatic declaration, "I eat! And I eat well! Ask anyone who knows me." She emphasized the importance of enjoying food without guilt and shared her philosophy that diet should be about balance, consistency, and listening to one's body. "Don't believe anything else you might hear or read," she added, dismantling the myths and misconceptions often associated with celebrity diets.

Deepika further explained that the word "diet" often carries a negative connotation, leading people to believe it means deprivation. She clarified, "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."

 
Sharing a picture collage of various desserts and snacks, Deepika elaborated on what diet truly means to her. "What 'Diet' really means is the total of all the food and drink consumed by an individual. The word actually comes from the Greek word 'diaita,' which means 'way of life.'" For Deepika, maintaining a balanced diet is a way of life, not a temporary fad or a restrictive regime. "I've always, for as long as I can remember, followed a 'Balanced Diet'. 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."

 
Her candidness about indulgence was also refreshing. "Now, do I indulge? Of course, I do, as demonstrated above! But it most certainly isn't my way of life. Ever heard the phrase 'you are what you eat'? If there's one thing I've learned (the hard-ish way) is that those words couldn't be truer."
As part of her self-care series, Deepika also shared her love for spending time outdoors and engaging in activities that nourish her mind and body. She previously posted a picture enjoying the outdoors, captioning it with how therapeutic and relaxing she finds nature. Another post showed her in a yoga pose, demonstrating her commitment to maintaining a holistic approach to health.

 
These self-care posts not only highlight her healthy eating habits but also her overall approach to well-being. By sharing glimpses of her life and personal philosophy, Deepika continues to inspire her fans to embrace a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.

 
On the professional front, Deepika Padukone's recent projects include the much-anticipated film "Kalki 2898 - AD," where she stars alongside Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. She will also appear in Rohit Shetty's "Singham Again" and the Hindi remake of "The Intern," alongside Amitabh Bachchan. Earlier this year, she starred in "Fighter" with Hrithik Roshan.

 
Deepika's openness about her diet and lifestyle comes at a time when many people are seeking authentic advice and relatable experiences from their favorite celebrities. Her emphasis on balance, consistency, and self-love is a powerful message that resonates widely, encouraging fans to pursue a healthier and more enjoyable approach to food and life.
