As per Dietitians India:
“Accredited Practicing Dietitians (APDs) are university-qualified professionals that undertake ongoing training and education programs to ensure that they are your most up-to-date and credible source of nutrition information. They translate scientific health and nutrition information into practical advice, and practice in line with DAA Professional Standards.
By seeing a dietitian you can have peace of mind that you are talking to someone who has the training and knows their stuff.
Good nutrition differs from diet, for it refers to the quality of the food itself. Nutrition is food that our bodies need to consume daily for our bodies to function optimally. This includes complex carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and fiber. We need these foods in a balanced quantity and ideally, from the cleanest sources possible.
As a general guide, balanced nutrition for the day should comprise of:
30% protein
40% complex carbohydrates
30% essential healthy fats (ideally omega-3 fatty acids)
2-4 litres of water
Proper nutrition should also consist of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and antioxidants. A few ideal food choices include dark leafy greens, whole grains, sweet potatoes, raw nuts, seeds, salmon, berries, oats, and avocado.

For weight loss you need to follow a well balanced simple home based meal pattern and exercise pattern. Need to eliminate all processed and packaged food products like biscuits, cakes, chocolates, pastries, dessert etc. Proper sleep pattern, with dinner atleast 2 hours before our sleep. And minimum 30 minutes of sunlight exposure throughout the day. With these small changes we can easily reduce your weight.
In preparation for our appointment it is a good idea to have think about what you normally eat - some people have an easy time recalling their day to day eating and others find it helpful to keep a food diary.
I recommend testing out zoom and your tech prior to the session to make the most of our appointment time.
Finally, write down any questions you have so that we can discuss them during the session.
A nutritious diet and an optimally functioning immune system can never go wrong. If you have a healthy immune system, your body can safeguard you from any disease, even the novel coronavirus or COVID-19. While as of now, there is neither any vaccine available nor proven home remedy to protect you from the COVID-19, there are some vitamins and foods which you can inculcate in your diet to have a strong immune system and in turn, fight the infectious disease.

All processed / packaged food is unhealthy and usually harmful no matter how it is marketed to us. This especially applies to food that people consider healthy such as digestive biscuits, cookies with added protein, instant oats, zero sugar jams, Atta noodles, sugar free sweeteners, zero calorie soft drinks etc. Processed foods have a large number of chemicals which you would never find in natural food. Natural food refers to whole grains, fruits, root vegetables, leafy vegetables, lentils (dal), Chana, unprocessed non veg food, milk etc that has been eaten by our ancestors since thousands of years. Chemicals in processed foods serve the purpose of sometimes replacing sugar / acting as a sweetener (marketed as healthier than sugar which is false), preserving the shelf life of food, getting a food item to a certain consistency and stability (due to it being an unnatural food in the first place we have to put chemicals to stabilize it), enhancing flavors and colors etc. Many of these chemicals are known to be harmful especially in the long run. The next time you look at your ex-favorite (you’re going to give up eating such food after reading this post!) boxed / packaged treats look out for these additives in the ingredient list. Artificial Sweeteners / Fat substitutes Artificial sweeteners include acesulfame potassium, aspartame, saccharin, sugar alcohols, high fructose corn syrup, sucralose etc. These are now found in almost all processed foods especially those labelled labelled zero sugar or low calorie which are marketed as healthy. However, artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame, saccharin and sucralose are linked to glucose intolerance which is the precursor to diabetes. Further, consumption of artificially sweetened soft drinks by pregnant women is linked to premature delivery and incidence of asthma in the child. #healthyfood #avoidprocessedfoods #avoidpackagedfood #healthyfood #avoidprocessedfoods #avoidpackagedfood
Improving your overall health through dietary changes is a commendable goal. Here are some key dietary changes you can consider from a nutritionist's perspective:
Increase Fruit and Vegetable Consumption: Aim to fill half your plate with colourful fruits and vegetables. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants that support overall health.
Choose Whole Grains: Opt for whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat pasta, and oats instead of refined grains. Whole grains provide more nutrients and fibre.
Prioritize Lean Proteins: Include lean protein sources such as poultry, fish, lean cuts of meat, tofu, legumes, and beans in your diet. Protein is essential for muscle health and overall vitality.
Healthy Fats: Replace saturated and trans fats with healthy fats like those found in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. These fats support heart health.
Reduce Added Sugars: Minimize your intake of sugary drinks, sweets, and processed foods high in added sugars. High sugar consumption is linked to various health issues.
Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating. Use smaller plates and bowls to help with portion control.
Hydration: Stay adequately hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Limit sugary beverages and excessive caffeine intake.
Limit Processed Foods: Reduce your consumption of heavily processed foods, which often contain additives, preservatives, and unhealthy trans fats.
Balanced Meals: Create balanced meals that include a variety of food groups. This ensures you get a broad spectrum of nutrients.
Mindful Eating: Practice mindful eating by savouring each bite, eating slowly, and paying attention to hunger and fullness cues. Avoid distractions during meals.
Cook at Home: Prepare more meals at home, where you have control over ingredients and cooking methods. Homemade meals tend to be healthier.
Fiber-Rich Foods: Include fibre-rich foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables in your diet. Fibre supports digestive health and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Limit Sodium Intake: Reduce your sodium intake by minimizing the use of salt and avoiding highly processed and salty foods. High sodium intake can lead to high blood pressure.
Nutrient Density: Choose foods that offer high nutrient density, meaning they provide a lot of nutrients relative to their calorie content. Examples include leafy greens, berries, and nuts.
Meal Planning: Plan your meals and snacks in advance to make healthier choices readily available. This reduces the temptation to opt for less nutritious options.
Regular Meals: Aim to eat regular, balanced meals and avoid skipping meals, especially breakfast, which provides essential energy for the day.
Limit Alcohol: If you consume alcohol, do so in moderation. Excessive alcohol intake can have adverse health effects.
Consult a Nutritionist: Consider consulting with a registered dietitian or nutritionist for personalized guidance and support in making these dietary changes.
Remember that making sustainable dietary changes is a gradual process. Small, consistent steps can lead to significant improvements in your overall health over time. It's essential to tailor these changes to your specific needs, preferences, and any medical conditions you may have.
