Tanishaa Mukerji, the Bollywood star and Kajol's younger sister, recently shared her weight loss journey in an interview with The Male Feminist, discussing the important lessons she's picked up along the way.

She mentioned, "I dropped a significant amount of weight really quickly. But honestly, it's tough for women to keep abs for an extended period." Tanishaa went on to explain, "Fat plays a crucial role in a woman's body because it helps produce estrogen. While men can get down to around 14% body fat, that's pretty low for women."

Tanishaa talks about how hormonal shifts can lead to weight gain

Tanishaa got real about the hormonal shifts she went through and how they affected her weight. "Men have just one hormone, testosterone, but women have around 36,000 hormones. We're designed to have babies," she said. She talked about how, after losing a lot of weight for Neal N Nikki, her body started to fluctuate. Even with her regular workouts, the scale just kept going up. "After filming Neal N Nikki, my hormones were all over the place, and I just started gaining weight. No matter how much I exercised, my weight kept climbing," she explained.

Your body requires carbohydrates

Tanishaa opened up about her past with strict dieting, saying, "Back then, I didn’t get that you can’t stick to a low-carb diet forever because your brain and body actually need carbs." She confessed that she went a bit too far with a no-carb, no-sugar plan and relied heavily on protein shakes, which she now sees weren’t a long-term solution. "Your liver can get worn out," she pointed out, stressing the need to learn about cleansing and detoxing.

When it comes to fitness, Tanishaa shared, "Working out is meant to shape your body, but it won’t necessarily help you lose weight." This insight pushed her to embrace yoga as a more balanced way to focus on her overall health.
