So many people think that they get results from keto or fasting or vegan diet etc. But the fact is that these all work by bringing your calories down.

And you can get the same result from a balanced plan where you eat everything you like.

It is possible for you to be at the weight you wish to be. Just give yourself the chance.

To get customised plans, DM me.

Its a joke, they totally count. But go ahead and enjoy them anyways, we can balance them out tomorrow.

Taking a cheat day is not going to reverse your efforts. Don't let your diet overtake your joy.

Do you know why figs are my favourite fruit?

✔️ Super low in calories
✔️ Super high in fiber
✔️ promotes digestive health
✔️ filled with iron and folic acid
✔️ supports healthy blood pressure
✔️ promotes healthy joints
✔️ filled with anti-oxidants
✔️ improves metabolism

So many people tell me that they can't lose weight because they eat rice daily, and there's nothing further from truth.

Rice is a highly nutritious grain and helps us absorb the protein from legumes and beans better.

Rice can and should be a part of a well balanced weight loss plan. And this is especially true for vegetarians.

The only weight loss efforts that fail are the ones aimed at quick results, if you think of it as a life long journey you will flourish.

Some healthy habits that can make you gain weight?

✔️ Eating olive oil and not counting calories
✔️ Eating healthy snacks like nuts, foxnuts, dried fruits in excess
✔️ Drinking too many calories in smoothies
✔️ Adding peanut butter to everything
✔️ Having excessive water
✔️ Relying on green tea to balance heavy meals
✔️ Not eating carbs
✔️ Eating an Early Dinner

I have seen so many people trying to cook healthy and dowsing their food with olive oil, I have seen people replace butter which has 60 calories per spoon with olive oil which has 120 calories per spoon, I have seen people try so hard and yet fail.

Just because you eat homecooked or make an effort doesn't mean you will lose weight.

To lose weight you need to put the effort in the right direction.

How many calories should I be eating is such a vague question. You need to factor in so many things- your activity, your body metabolic rate, your stress levels, your hormone profile, workout routine and so many more.

If you go on an app and it gives a a figure about how much to eat, or how much you're burning, it is likely leading you astray so be careful.

How to know if your Program is working?

✔️ Change in size
✔️ Toned muscles
✔️ More Energy
✔️ Improved Sleep
✔️ Better Memory
✔️ Wake up Fresher
✔️ Healthy and timely Bowel Movement
✔️ Less aches and pains
✔️ Timely and Easier Period
✔️ Feeling Energetic
✔️ No post lunch drowsiness
✔️ Luster in hair and glowing clear Skin
✔️ Reduced acne, blemishes and pigmentation

So often I hear people complain about a program they tried before- It helped my husband/friend/daughter, but the same diet didn't work for me.

If one single diet worked for everyone, every doctor would put it on their website and that would be it.

You wouldn't give the same medicine to everyone with a stomach ache, then why would you expect the same diet to work for people who have completely different height, weight, hormonal profile or gender?

You know how we think we will start after a said function or after the festival season or after so and so thing happens. It has a name- PERFORMANCE ANXIETY.

You don't weight because you are lazy or unmotivated, you're just scared of failing.

But if you never start you get zero results. Start and do whatever little you can and you will get results. Start NOW!!

85-90% of your weight loss results will come from the right diet. If your diet is not in check, nothing else will work. Rest, recovery, workout, sleep etc all contribute to barely 10-15% of your results. So get your diet in check first.

I get irrationally annoyed when I hear about eating breakfast at sunset or never skipping breakfast. The fact is that eating too early in the evening will cause you to stay hungry too long, spike your cortisol while sleeping and not let your body completely recoup, thereby throwing your hormones out of balance.

Meal timings are important for regulation of digestion and hormones, but as far as weight loss is concerned, calories matter more than anything else.

If you got diabetes or high blood pressure or cholesterol, would you clean up your diet and improve your lifestyle?

If the answer is YES, then why are you waiting to get such severe diseases before getting on track?

Start now to avoid Metabolic Diseases like Hypertension, Diabtes, Cholesterol and worse.

Acne is a big menace and an often touted ill advice is to give up dairy to clear skin. Not all experts and studies agree that milk is involved in acne, though, and not everyone who drinks a lot of milk breaks out in pimples, of course.

Some evidence shows that milk causes acne while other studies suggest people who drink more milk tend to have worse acne. Those are associations, though, and not proof.

CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION.

One should remember to connect with an expert and test for potential problems before giving up on milk as it is one of the major sources of calcium in our diet.

Many other issues such as hormonal imbalances, clogged pores, pollution or food irritants can be causing the acne. Not only will quitting milk unnecessarily not help you, it can keep making acne worse since the potential cause is not diagnosed.

If your favourite food is a part of your diet it won't ruin your diet.

Three good reasons to go gluten free-
1. To manage celiac disease.
2. To control dermatitis herpetiformis (DH).
3. To reduce symptoms of gluten sensitivity.

If you plan on being gluten free in the hopes that it will miraculously help you lose weight or get healthier, then think again. Unless you have been diagnosed with a condition, chances are that you don't need to be eating gluten free.

If you started last year, you'd be so much closer to your goal today. If you start today you would acheive it in a year. Bu if you don't start, you will still be just wishing for it in a year.

If you need to resort to extreme methods to stop you from eating your favourites, then the diet is not right for you.

Your diet should incorporate enough delicious foods that you don't feel the need to cheat.

To customise such a plan, DM me.
