The Reality Check

As a single mother and a teacher, Geetu’s life was full of responsibilities, which took a toll on her health. She was touching 90 kilos, and her knees had given up. The moment that shook her and was the ultimate reality check was when she couldn’t get up from the floor while playing with her grandchild. Her blood pressure was at a high of 165/105, and she was constantly tired. She was also struggling with anxiety, which was making even simple life tasks feel impossible.

The Turning Point

She had previously lost 16 kilos of post-pregnancy weight with Dr. Shikha Sharma’s wellness program in 2001. That experience gave her confidence, but later her busy life got in the way, and in 2022 her health was at a low point again. This time, she decided to make a change and reconnected with our team at Dr. Shikha Sharma.

The Diet That Worked

Our team of doctors and nutritionists made a personalized diet plan for Geetu that fit seamlessly into her busy life and spicy taste palate.

Morning: Geetu began her day with lemon or cinnamon water and then had some soaked almonds and walnuts instead of having biscuits like before.
Meal Prep: She kept her vegetables like capsicum, carrots, beans, and tomatoes ready in her fridge so that she could make quinoa salads and vegetable wraps quickly. It saved her a lot of time.
Flexible and Flavorful: The plan was very flexible and gave her alternative options for millets like ragi, with soups or vegetable bowls when ingredients were hard to find.
Travel-Friendly: When she went to Canada to visit her daughter, Geetu took her ingredients, and our team also sent grocery lists via messages to keep her on track.
Natural Boosts: The plan also included herbs like Himalayan berries for her nutrient deficiencies, which Geetu was impressed to see results from.

Geetu also learned to manage her cravings with roasted makhana and peanuts, which she kept handy at home.

The Outcome

In six months, Geetu lost 17 kilos, dropping from 89 kg to 72 kg. “My face is not puffy, my shoulders and waist have lost inches, and my knee pain is gone. I could see the change in the mirror, and it felt amazing,” she said. Her blood pressure normalized to 135/95, and her cholesterol and vitamin D levels also improved. Her doctor was so impressed that he asked her to stop omega capsules because the diet and herbs were doing the job,” Geetu shared.

But beyond all the physical changes, she noticed that she wasn’t anxious anymore, and she felt more in control of her life. She happily shared that even her family loves quinoa now.

“This isn’t just a diet—it’s a lifestyle I can sustain.”

Geetu’s Advice

“Don’t think of it as a diet, make it a lifestyle that you can sustain. It’s more about your habits and mindset than fancy ingredients.”
