Weight Loss Journey Of Huma Qureshi: 28 Days Cleansing Challenge

Recently, the jolly actress Huma Qureshi has decided to go on 28 days cleansing challenge, just like many other famed Bollywood celebs. And this is not it, she, like Bhumi Pednekar, has decided to share her challenge routine with us on her Instagram account #28daycleanse.

The actress started her epic cleansing process on March 26, motivating thousands of followers and fans to tail suit. And we think she has done a great job so far! It’s been 10 days and her diet really seems to be working out for her (as per her Insta Story Hashtags).

It’s commonly noticed that every second person we meet is found to be complaining about their bulging tires or that peeking little paunch, they have been trying so hard to get rid of. But hard workouts and strict diets don’t always work for everyone, does it guys!

So, our loving JOLLY actress has shared her diet plans, till date, that will definitely motivate you to try this amazing healthy diet for the sake of good health, if not losing weight. She has focused on NO GLUTEN, NO REFINED SUGAR, NO SODA, NO PROCESSED FOOD, NO WHEAT & NO ALCOHOL based diet. Sounds tough, but it’s going to be a fun ride trying to be healthy!

Day 7 … one week of #28dayCleanse done !! This has been a challenging week.. but feeling so great that I stuck to it .. a detox requires making good food choice , prep and dedication ! I'm grateful for all those people who wrote to me and are following the plan with me ??? Oh ! And those of you asking … I made everything myself .. infact 95%of all these meals I have cooked .. not my cook.. so I know exactly what goes into my food … very rarely have ordered in from a healthy place.. and most meals take not more than 15-20 mins to prepare ? Today – On waking start with a large glass of water & Pinch of Himalayan Salt – 30 mins before breakfast : Cup of hot water with juice of half lemon and fresh grated ginger – BREAKFAST : Spinach, Spring Onion, Tomatoes and Green Chilli some salt some pepper added to 1 full egg & 2 eggs.

Detox food and healthy doesn't mean boring or bland … @senkaisean
