I do not ask you to overhaul your kitchen or hunt for expensive superfoods. Instead, we look at your current plate—whether you are a vegetarian or not—and tweak your portion sizes and food combinations to hit your daily protein targets using the Roti, Dal, and Sabzi you already eat. ### Fueling Your Body for Results Many people think fat loss requires cutting carbs or eating exotic, expensive foods. The reality is that your body needs consistent, recognizable fuel to perform, recover, and burn fat. My approach is built on three foundational pillars that I use with every mentee: **1. The Protein Baseline** Studies show that a large percentage of Indians are protein deficient, primarily due to carb-heavy diets. When you don't get enough protein, your body holds onto fat and struggles to recover from workouts, leaving you feeling fatigued. I show you how to integrate paneer, curd, eggs, or lentils into your existing home-cooked meals to bridge this gap without needing complex supplements. **2. Understanding Healthy Fats** We often hear that fats are the enemy, but the right fats are essential for hormonal balance and reducing inflammation. I help you navigate the ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3. By simply choosing the right cooking oils and incorporating sources like fish or specific seeds, we can manage the inflammation that often hampers weight loss in people dealing with PCOS or thyroid issues. **3. Practical Myth-Busting** Nutrition should not feel like a chemistry experiment. Should you boil milk? Do you need expensive sweeteners? I cut through the noise of wellness marketing. For instance, knowing that pasteurized milk is already safe and doesn't need to be over-boiled helps you retain its nutritional value. My goal is to simplify these choices so you can make informed decisions in your own kitchen every day. Sustainable weight loss is not about finding the perfect plan; it is about building a system of habits that you can maintain while living your life. Whether you are managing insulin resistance, recovering postpartum, or simply trying to lose those stubborn kilos, the solution is always in the consistency, not the intensity. ## About Aksshaye S Shetty I am Aksshaye, and I have spent years helping busy professionals and parents move away from the 'all or nothing' diet culture.
