Bollywood celebrities often set health and fitness trends by inspiring millions of people. In 2024, popular diet plans like keto and intermittent fasting have taken center stage, with many stars following these routines to keep themselves fit. So as 2024 comes to a close, we’ve put together a list of the diet trends that dominated celebrities’ plates this year.

The ketogenic (keto) diet remains a favorite among fitness-conscious celebrities. Stars like Bhumi Pednekar and Tanmay Bhatt swear by this high-fat, low-carb plan for weight loss and better energy levels.

The science behind keto lies in ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. A study in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that when followed correctly, the keto diet can effectively reduce body weight and improve metabolic health.

Tips for Beginners:

– Take almond or coconut flour instead of rice and wheat.

– Include healthy fats like ghee, avocado and nuts.

– Consult a nutritionist to balance nutrient intake.

Intermittent fasting (IF) has caught the attention of stars like Malaika Arora for being vocal about its benefits. This diet involves alternating between periods of eating and fasting, such as the popular 16:8 method (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating).

Research in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that intermittent fasting can promote cellular repair, enhance fat loss and even extend lifespan. It also helps control blood sugar levels, making it a versatile choice for overall health.

Celeb-Style Fasting:

– Start with a 12:12 schedule and gradually increase fasting hours.

– Stay hydrated with water, green tea or black coffee during the fast.

Celebrities like Sonam Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor follow plant-based diets, making veganism a movement in itself. This diet excludes animal products and focuses on fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. A 2024 study in Nutrients shows that plant-based diets are not only beneficial for weight loss, but also reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.

Plant Based Essentials:

-For protein, mix quinoa, chickpeas and tofu.

– Experiment with dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk.

Low-carb diet in Indian cuisine is gaining popularity among celebrities like Sara Ali Khan. This approach includes foods such as cheese, eggs, pulses and low-carb vegetables, ensuring that the diet is culturally familiar and sustainable.

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a low-carb diet helps reduce body fat, improve cholesterol levels and stabilize blood sugar. Indian spices like turmeric, cumin and coriander enhance flavor and boost metabolism.

Detox diets have always been a favorite for Indian celebs during busy schedules or after fun events. Alia Bhatt often mixes green juices, soups and herbal teas to cleanse her system.

Although controversial, short-term detox plans can help reset the digestive system. A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that a natural detox diet could improve liver function and reduce inflammation.

Tips to follow detox diet:

– Start the morning with warm lemon water.

-Include green smoothie with spinach, celery and cucumber.

– Avoid processed foods and focus on fresh produce.
