Answer
My work makes me go out to have meals with others a lot and its difficult for me to maintain my diet or eat only healthy food when I go like this. So can you please tell me how can I navigate social situations or dining out while still maintaining a healthy diet?
Hey When you have to eat outside plan ahead by checking the menu beforehand and choosing healthier options. You can also practice portion control, prioritize vegetables and lean proteins, and politely decline extras like bread or dessert if they don't align with your goals. Additionally, consider being assertive about your dietary preferences and communicate them with your colleagues or friends.

came across this and honestly, it’s so overwhelming. can someone condense this down for me pls? how do i keep up w a healthy balanced diet without having so much decision fatigue 😖
hello. ideally a balanced plate consists of 50% of vegetables and fruits 25% protein and 25% cereals so 3 major meals and 2 small snacks will help to prevent overeating and as I said major meals should be your balanced plate whereas small snacks can include protein and fibre rich foods of your choice
Answer
What are some Essential nutrients that are very necessary to take everyday? And in what forms they can be taken. Please suggest.
Essential nutrients include vitamins (such as vitamin C, D, and B-complex), minerals (like calcium, iron, and magnesium), protein, healthy fats, and fiber. They can be obtained from a balanced diet including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and dairy products. If needed, supplements can provide additional support, but it's best to get nutrients from food whenever possible.

I get severe cramps in periods and after my periods end,I get really weak after that.😭 Can you suggest any kind of food which I should intake in order for me to avoid this?
Hi there, I hope you are well. If you've been facing severe cramps, then, you must check with your gynecologist as it may be indicative of a health issue. Hence, I'd suggest you to check with the doctor and get necessary tests done. With respect to the diet, here's what you can do. - Incorporate Enough fibre in the diet. Wholegrains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, sprouts are great sources. This will ensure adequate clearance of estrogen and keep your gut healthy. - Add protein for proper healing, recovery, and for your body to be able to cope up with cramps and bleeding. Add beans, dairy and dairy products,lean meat, nuts, seeds , millets to the diet. - Add good fats, especially omega 3 fatty acids to the diet. Avocado, nuts, seeds, fatty fish, olive oil, canola oil, leafy greens are good options. - Keep yourself hydrated and avoid consuming sugary beverages, excessive caffeine, alcohol or soda. - Avoid ultra processed, packaged, and refined foods. - Eat home-cooked meals ✨✨

I saw a youtube video of an influencer talking about meal prep and how she makes all her oat meals for a week on one day. I told my mom about it and she was shocked 😭. Can you please tell if its healthy to meal prep like this? And if yes what are the benefits of food prepping? And how can I do it?
Yes, meal prepping can be a healthy and convenient option. It allows for better portion control, promotes balanced meals, reduces reliance on unhealthy convenience foods, and saves time during busy weekdays. To meal prep effectively, plan balanced meals, choose a variety of nutrient-rich foods, and use proper storage techniques to maintain freshness. It's essential to include a mix of proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, and fruits/vegetables in each meal. However, it's crucial to ensure proper food safety practices are followed, such as storing these items in the refrigerator and consuming them within a safe timeframe.
Answer
I am lactose intolerant and I have always felt that something is missing from all the nutrients I consume. So can you please tell me if there are any alternate sources of calcium and protein that I should incorporate into my diet? Or should I take supplements?
For calcium, you can include fortified plant-based milk (like almond or soy), leafy greens (such as kale and spinach), tofu, almonds, and sesame seeds in your diet. For protein, consider beans, lentils, quinoa, tofu, nuts and seeds. If you struggle to meet your calcium and protein needs through diet alone, you can consider supplements, but it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Answer
Have you noticed any long-term effects on your health or quality of life as a result of the inconsistency with fixed meal times?Are you concerned about the potential impact on your long-term health, such as nutrient deficiencies, weight fluctuations, or chronic health conditions? How does this influence your motivation to prioritize regular meal times in your daily routine?
Hi there, I hope you are well. -As a nutritionist and clinical dietitian, I personally don't believe in sticking to a specific time or consuming meals. -However, what I beleive in is discipline and self-motivation. - Once, you begin to Live a healthy lifestyle, you are likely to eat within an interval of 3-4 hours, you are more likely to track your water intake, and eat your favourite foods in moderation. - Hence, I'd personally suggest that prepare a plan or an entire week where you know what you'll be able to manage in terms of diet, water intake, and activity. - Try to do at least 50% of it , if not 100%. - You can put a reminder on your phone that it's time to grab a fruit or eat a handful of nuts. - Carry tiffins from home, or stock healthy snacks at office or in your college locker. - Ensure to take breaks wherever possible but don't beat yourself up if you couldn't eat at a given time. - Don't leave large gaps as it can make way for acidity and bloating. I hope this helps ✨Tc

You have face yourself struggling with PCOS and the temptation of desserts? Living with PCOS, which doesn't have a definitive medical cure, often prompts us to focus on lifestyle changes like sleep, exercise, and healthy eating habits. But one common question that arises is how to manage dessert cravings or how much dessert is okay to indulge in. I'm curious about your personal journey and strategies for balancing PCOS management with enjoying desserts.
Hey! I completely understand the dessert cravings. They could be because of micronutrient deficiencies or insulin resistance. In any case lifestyle changes and nutritional interventions are definitely required. Until then I recommend making your own desserts. For example, chia pudding, protein muffins, dates stuffed with nut butter, dark chocolate, etc. This will help you manage the cravings without overindulging in them. Hope it helps. I am a nutritionist with a masters in nutrition and dietetics, if you have any further questions you can definitely connect with me.

I host several podcast it's a huge passion of mine and I also produce I strongly feel that empathy is the glue of humanity and without it what do we have for understanding one another and being kind toward one another is what keeps Us human it's what makes it work and without it what can possibly get better you must hold on to that and remember and show it where it's needed so that people can know what it is and be able to show that same to others connecting and growing with others is within the foundations of empathy that's how the world gets better so we can understand we don't have to directly know one another we must be that change and it starts with us, we must be the change we want to see!more
