About Diet & Nutrition

Everyone has advice about what you should eat, and much of it is contradictory. A qualified dietician gives you clear advice and builds a plan around your health, your routine and the food you actually enjoy, whether that is dal-chawal, idli or rotis.

When to See a Dietician

Wanting to lose or gain weight in a way you can keep up
Diabetes, PCOS, thyroid problems, high cholesterol or fatty liver, where food plays a big role
Planning meals during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for a fussy or underweight child
Digestive problems that seem linked to certain foods
Feeling confused by conflicting diet advice online

A Word on Quick Fixes

Be wary of plans that promise very fast weight loss, cut out whole food groups, or depend on expensive supplements. If food, weight or eating is causing you a lot of distress, please talk to a doctor as well.

Online or In-Clinic?

Nutrition consultations work very well online. Keep a food diary for a few days beforehand, and have your recent blood reports and weight handy. Follow-ups help the plan change as you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast should I lose weight?

Around half a kilo to one kilo a week is a realistic, safe pace for most people. Faster loss is usually water and muscle, and is harder to keep off.

Do I have to give up rice or roti to lose weight?

No. Overall portion size and balance matter most. A moderate portion of rice or roti with dal, vegetables and a source of protein works better than cutting out staples you will miss.

What is the difference between a dietician and a nutritionist?

In India, a dietician usually has formal training in clinical nutrition and can plan diets for medical conditions, while “nutritionist” is used more loosely. For a health condition, look for a qualified or registered dietician.

Do I need supplements?

Most people can get what they need from a balanced diet. Some people may need supplements, such as vitamin D, vitamin B12 for vegetarians, or iron during pregnancy, based on blood tests and a doctor’s advice. Avoid high doses without testing.
