No crash diets! Kiara Advani's secret to achieving that bikini body for War 2

Kiara Advani

Kiara Advani's War 2 bikini physique is the result of months of planning, precision, and absolute discipline, not simply beautiful genes. As the new mother prepares to make her debut in the YRF Spy Universe starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in War 2, fans are excited about her gorgeous new avatar as Kavya Luthra. And, while her transformation may appear to be the result of an intense crash course, Kiara's secret weapon was much more holistic and long-lasting. Her nutritionist revealed all of the facts to Pinkvilla, and the conclusion is clear: discipline, not deprivation.

On her holistic diet

"When Kiara spoke to me for her prep, the goal was clear: to be in the best shape of her life for her first-ever bikini shot on screen," her nutritionist revealed. "She didn't want shortcuts. She wasn't looking for a crash diet or a quick fix. She wanted something sustainable, holistic - and something that made her feel strong."

Every aspect of her meal plan was calculated and deliberate, down to the oil used in cooking and a tiny sprinkle of Parmesan. And yeah, pancakes were involved. "Her mornings always started with her non-negotiable protein pancakes," the dietitian added. "The pancakes were made with oat flour, walnut flour, protein powder, maple syrup or monk fruit, and water, then topped with fresh berries and homemade hazelnut butter." She adored them so much that we even recorded a video before she left for her European tour to ensure that the entire team understood exactly how to make them right."

Kiara's daily meals consisted of lean protein and fresh, bright ingredients. Her lunches and dinners alternated between grilled chicken, chicken curries, asparagus, baby potatoes, avocado, edamame, pesto, and hummus with vegetable crudites. "We kept her meals light but high in protein and tailored them closely to her training and shoot schedule," her dietitian added.

Snacks were not off the table. One of Kiara's go-to choices? "Good old sattu chaas: roasted Bengal gram flour seasoned mildly with jeera powder and coriander leaves. It's a delicious, natural Indian protein-rich drink that aids in hydration and healing, particularly after long workouts or outdoor shots.

Kiara's diet during the bikini scenes in War 2

When it came to filming the now-viral bikini scene, the preparation did not revolve around extreme measures. "We didn't do anything drastic or unhealthy - no extreme cutting or water depletion," her dietitian confessed. "Instead, we planned it backwards - adjusting sodium, water, and fibre intake gradually while keeping energy levels high."

While Kiara was filming in Tuscany and Rome, her team worked with local chefs to ensure her meals were on target. "We shared allergen information, sourced local ingredients, and designed menus that aligned with her macros and the demands of the shoot."

However, diet was only part of the transformation. Sleep and healing were equally as important. "We were intentional about setting a circadian rhythm, ensuring she got adequate rest," the doctor explained. "Everything - her eating times, training windows, and caffeine intake - was planned around this rhythm. With her hard shot schedule and training, her body required recovery, and developing a solid sleep-wake regimen helped us optimize everything else. She was in bed by 8 p.m. "Her dedication and discipline were admirable."

So far, it appears that all of the hard work has been worthwhile. And, with her fiery performance as Kavya Luthra already igniting the internet, Kiara's War 2 premiere could be her most thrilling move yet.
