Leone gives a healthy boost to her day by consuming fresh coconut or lemon water. Being from a Punjabi background, she needs to be very conscious of what she eats. Since she has a weakness for coffee, she advises coffee-lovers to consume a minimal amount of black coffee. She avoids junk food and soft drinks at all costs and keeps her breakfast filling and healthy with egg-whites, a glass of milk and toast. As the day moves on, she chooses chicken-and-vegetable salad for lunch and has fruits and nuts for her snack-time. She ends her day with fish, chicken and vegetables.
