Siddhant Agarwal was an entrepreneur from Kolkata who had some misconceptions about dieting. For him, the word “diet” only meant tasteless and bland food along with constant hunger. He was doubtful about whether diets could actually work and can he could even follow one?

But over time, he stopped feeling as energized as before, his health got worse, and he saw no improvement from exercise. That’s when he realized that something needed to be changed.

He had no idea that this decision could change not only his body but also how he thought about food, life, and health in general.

Journey Begins

“It all began with a little push from my family. My cousin had been following the OneHealth program by Dr. Shikha Sharma and saw amazing outcomes."

A detailed health assessment was made where our team looked into every part of Siddhant’s lifestyle, including his daily habits, food preferences, exercise routines, and even his mental health. With everything taken into consideration, we made a personalized plan, keeping all his unique needs in focus.

A Plan That Worked for Him

Unlike generic diets that eliminate entire food groups and restrict foods that people love, Siddhant’s plan was carefully crafted to include wholesome and healthy foods that he would actually enjoy.

They didn’t just give him a list of foods to eat; they also helped him understand why these choices were important for him and what underlying reasons led to them.

"It wasn’t about cutting things out; it was about learning and making sense of it all," he shares.

His nutritionist checked in regularly to track his progress, which made him feel confident and motivated throughout the journey.

What Was on His Plate?

Here is what a typical day in Siddhant’s routine looked like:

Breakfast: A bowl of overnight oats made with almond milk and chia seeds, with fresh fruits like berries or bananas.
Mid-Morning Snack: A handful of roasted chanas or almonds.
Lunch: Two rotis made from oat bran and ragi, paired with a green vegetable curry and a small serving of curd.
Evening Snack: A fruit like a cherry or a guava.
Dinner: A bowl of daliya, khichdi loaded with steamed veggies.

“The meals were simple and fulfilling, and I have never felt that I was missing out. Instead, I felt energetic and genuinely enjoyed what I was eating.”

The app’s healthy recipes were of big help for Siddhant. He tried out healthier versions of his favourite dishes like baked samosas and low-oil stir-fries. This completely changed his perception of healthy food.

Workout Routine

It was not just the diet, but exercise also played an equally important role in his transformation journey. Siddhant went to the gym for an hour regularly and also added swimming to his routine two times in a week.

Siddhant lost 6 kgs in the first month, which felt almost unbelievable in the past. “For two months before this, I was working out without seeing any results". Combining the right food with regular exercise turned everything around for him.

Mindful Eating

One of the big surprises for Siddhant was how this transformation journey made him love food and the process of dieting. He learnt to enjoy the experience of eating a simple meal and truly appreciating it. He learnt that healthy food is not just about what is on your plate, but also how you eat it.
