Sure, many celebs follow strict diets too, and we may not have the luxury of a full-time dietician at our disposal, but you can do it too!
You can start yoga in your own home now, and all you will need is a good yoga book or dvd. There are so many top quality books and dvds, it's difficult to choose - we suggest Yoga for You: A Step-by-step Guide to Yoga at Home for Everybody by Tara Fraser.

For best results
- The best time for Yoga is in the morning before breakfast.
- Yoga should be practiced in a well ventilated area, free from dust, insects, unpleasant odours, draught, moisture, and distractions.
- Empty your bowels and bladder, clean your nostrils and throat of all mucus, drink a glass of lukewarm water and wait 15 minutes before starting the exercises.
- Begin with easy postures first. All movements should initially be practiced lightly, and should be ended if you start to get tired (Yoga should make you feel energetic rather than tired). Relax for a while if an exercise makes you feel tired.
- Yoga trainers recommended a balanced diet (sattwik), with 4 hour intervals between meals. The required calories should be made of 30% grains and cereals; 20% dairy products; 25% vegetables and roots; 20% fruits and honey; 5% nuts. You should only eat enough to satisfy your appetite.
- Clothing should be loose and allow the maximum amount of skin to be exposed to air.
- Breathing should be long and deep, through the nose only.
