CASE STUDY & SUCCESS STORIES
Name- Poonam
Age- 42 years
BMI-15.6 Kg/m2 (underweight)
Location- Hyderabad
Case history- Poonam is a homemaker, a mother of 2 kids and hails from a middle-class family. Since she was underweight, she could not stay active throughout the day. She would be so exhausted from doing housework for a while that she would nap an hour before continuing the daily tasks. Her stamina and fitness levels were low, and she would get easily drained out. Her blood reports showed she was malnourished, anaemic, had poor gut health, and low Vitamin D. She also experienced significant pain and weakness during her menstrual cycles in addition to having dull skin and poor gut health that would lead her to visit the washroom after every meal. She was looking for a program that would help her increase her energy levels and fitness status and improve her overall health.
Approach by the best nutritionist in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Deepika Chalasani- We noticed she would graze throughout the day eating quick energy foods like biscuits, nuts and dry fruit laddoo to give her some energy for a short while. She ate very little vegetables and protein, so we educated her on how to eat a balanced diet and how this would help her sustain her energy levels for longer. We gave her food from the IBS green list. We suggested she eat modest, scheduled meals throughout the day that were both hunger-inducing and nourishing because she didn't have much appetite for large meals. We offered her two to three portions of fruit because they would instantly provide her energy and contain other essential nutrients for her health. We focused on easy-to-digest vegetables in the form of sautéed vegetables and soups. As she is vegetarian, we gave her good vegetarian proteins in small portions which are easy to digest, like homemade paneer, cheese, tofu, whole dal cheela, pancakes, protein shakes, yoghurt, and almond milk that would give her consistent energy through the day and improve her skin. When she complained of bloating, constipation, and gastric problems, we checked if she consumed any foods from the IBS red list and minimised whole grains from her meals. We taught her how to eat mindfully when she travelled and while attending social gatherings. We also included good fats like ghee and date seeds ladoo that improved her gut health and anaemic conditions. She took Vitamin D supplements once a week to reverse deficiency. We advised her to stay active throughout the day and drink 2-3 litres of water daily. As her creatinine levels were in a good range, her protein consumption slowly and steadily increased from 0.8 grams per ideal body weight to 1 gram per perfect body and 1.2 grams per ideal body weight by the end of 4th month.
Result: Padma gained a healthy weight of 4 kgs in 5 months and improved her energy levels drastically. She could easily work through the day, managing all her household chores. Wholesome, nourishing, easy-to-digest vegetables, fruits, lean protein, and good fats transformed her dull skin into a natural glow from within. The IBS condition reversed gradually, and she could tolerate a variety of foods which she couldn't earlier. Bowel movements were limited to once daily, and periods were no longer painful and draining. She recently had to plan a vast function requiring a lot of movements throughout the day, and even though it was close to her menstrual cycle, she spent the entire day moving around without experiencing any energy loss. She did not have any exhaustion after the event, either. She is happy to have reached her ideal health and learned how to maintain it.
