CASE STUDY & SUCCESS STORIES
Name: Shikha
Gender: Female
Location: Ireland
BMI: 31.4
Case history: Shikha, a software test engineer, drastically gained weight after covid. She lost some weight by intensely exercising for 2-3 hours at the gym and following crash diets. She adopted a restrictive pattern of eating. Her approach made her lethargic and tired, and it led to various nutritional deficiencies. Her hormonal and gut health deteriorated, impacting her emotional health as well. She was not able to lose further weight anymore. She injured her back while exercising, and the doctor suggested a complete rest. She lost the motivation and the hope of losing weight. She was looking forward to gaining knowledge and motivation to lose weight sustainably and follow a wholesome diet, which helped her improve her overall health and lifestyle.
Approach by the best nutritionist/dietician in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Deepika Chalasani:
After analysing her routine, food intake and weight loss methods, we observed that she used to eat poorly nourished foods with inappropriate combinations and portion sizes. Her food intake and exercise schedules were not balanced or correctly planned, leading to muscle mass loss and nutrient deficiencies impacting her overall mind and body. Deepika’s first approach was to give her education and coaching sessions about the importance of incremental changes in achieving sustainable health and not falling for crash or fad diets. We explained how emotional health impacts food absorption and digestion and affects health. We suggested tips and guidance to manage and balance her lifestyle habits. We designed a personalised meal plan suitable to her body type and health goals. She used to eat only two meals daily, so we gradually increased her meals to support incremental and healthy improvements. We ensured that we provided her with enough fibre and protein to induce satiety and reduce hunger pangs. All the foods causing inflammation were removed to support her health goals. We incorporated eggs, quinoa, dals, homemade paneer, oats, fish, and chicken. We also ensured that she consumed optimum quantities of vegetables in the form of salads, shakes, and curry. This also helped her achieve micronutrient intake.
We included fruits and date seeds paste to meet minerals and healthy fat needs. The meal plan was designed to make her feel full mentally and physically, reducing her late-night cravings and hunger pangs. The plan also ensured that she met all her deficiencies via food and supplements. We also included her favourite foods in healthier versions and taught her how to balance foods and eat healthy while eating out. Travelling guidelines were also provided. We also helped her plan a realistic exercise schedule suitable to her routine and body needs and educated her on the relationship between food and exercise. Real-time monitoring and support were done for the best and most sustainable results.
Result:
With our support and guidance, she lost 12 kgs in 5 months despite eating outside. Her cravings and hunger pangs disappeared. Her sleep schedules and energy levels got significantly better. Her washroom cycles and gut health improved. Her menstrual cycle becomes easy and comfortable. Most importantly, she learnt the importance of sustainable eating and has started focusing on qualitative and incremental changes in health and life.
