Vegetarian Star

“I have been a non-vegetarian since birth, so it is not very easy. Hats off to vegetarian people… I am trying my level best to turn vegetarian. I eat whatever I want to in the right quantity and at the right time. If I have a craving for something, I make sure I indulge in it but not too much.”

–Zarine Khan, during an interview where the Bollywood actress and model revealed she’d like to go meatless.

Vidya Balan and MP Dr. Shashi Tharoor have been chosen as PETA India’s Sexiest Vegetarians in an online poll.

Bollywood star Balan said of the honor, “Adopting a vegetarian diet may seem like a small choice, but it has an enormous impact on the world around us. The ‘hottest vegetarian’ recognition is an honour, but if you ask me, everyone who goes vegetarian is ‘hot’, since they each make the world a better place every day.”

She has plenty of hot company in India, as some polls indicate the percentage of vegetarians in the country range from 20-42 percent.

“This is something very personal. I changed because something inside me made me want to change. These are very personal choices, which can only be made by yourself; nobody else can force them on you. So I will never profess such a thing because it is an individual decision.”

Bollywood beauty and ex Miss Universe Lara Dutta has been a vegetarian for 5 years and says she eats 5-6 small meals a day to stay healthy.

She gave Mid-Day an example of how she might start the day before filming scenes for the upcoming film Housefull, and high protein nuts are a big part of her day.

“Breakfast usually depends on the kind of day I’m going to have. If I’m looking forward to a relaxed day at home then I stick to eating raw food, say a bowl of papaya and maybe an apple, till about noon. If I’m shooting, then I have a big bowl of porridge with some nuts sprinkled on top, or maybe an omelette made from egg whites with whole-wheat toast. I do have one rule though — the first thing that goes into my system should not be caffeine.”

Lunch consists of more nuts–but never mixed with fruit!

“I usually eat a small cube of cheese and a few nuts like badams, pistas and walnuts. I never mix nuts with dried fruits, as it doesn’t suit me. I might even eat some low-fat yoghurt.”

Dutta tries to restrain herself at dinner time, but admits she loves her pasta too!
