Saumya Tandon shares 5 things that have helped improve her eating habits: ‘I have never done dieting in my life’

“I take one tablespoon of ghee with a pinch of turmeric and black pepper powder as the first thing in the morning. You can warm up the ghee, too. It takes care of inflammation,” the Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai actor added.

Another habit she religiously follows is being off sugar. “All of you also know that I don’t take honey, sugar, or jaggery, which is a game-changer. Trust me,” said Tandon, 40.

Apart from that, she takes “one large glass of warm water with grated ginger”. “It is very alkaline and helps my gut,” she said.

As a vegetarian, many people struggle to fulfill their protein needs. “Especially if you are exercising. We should all have protein. Be watchful…I ensure I have protein throughout the day,” shared Tandon.

She also consumes 5 soaked almonds, pista, and walnut.” I also have one Brazilian night in the evening. I eat one teaspoon of pumpkin and sunflower seeds after workout, which are a great source of Omega 3, 6,” said Tandon.

Another game-changer has been finishing dinner before 7 pm. “It takes care of your bloating. It doesn’t give you weight. It keeps your belly in control. These are the things which have really helped me,” said Tandon.

Calling the actor’s approach “a wonderful example of how simple, mindful food habits go a long way in maintaining health,” clinical dietitian Garima Goyal noted that dieting isn’t about restriction, it’s about consistency in what you choose daily.

“Starting the morning with ghee, turmeric, and black pepper is a smart anti-inflammatory ritual. Eliminating sugar is truly transformative for blood sugar balance, cravings, and even long-term hormonal health. As a vegetarian, her focus on protein is very important as many vegetarians overlook this, which impacts energy and metabolism,” said Goyal.

Including nuts and seeds daily is a small but powerful addition. “Rich in omega-3s, minerals, and antioxidants, they support skin, hair, and heart health. And finishing dinner early is one of the most underrated habits for digestion, weight management, and even better sleep quality,” said Goyal.
