I break down the science behind everyday food—from the truth about fruit juices to the logic of meal timing—so you can stop guessing and start healing with what you already have in your kitchen. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Why do you need a customized diet plan? Because a generic plan from the internet doesn't account for your social life, your work schedule, or your emotional triggers for eating. I explain how a personalized approach is key to achieving sustainable health goals.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3a16deab-28ba-4ee1-9edb-4a9f84373200) - [Video: Is fasting the same as intermittent fasting?

Most people think healthy eating is about restriction, but it is actually about absorption. Whether it is meal timing or understanding your vitamin intake, I focus on fixing your plate with simple, home-cooked food rather than expensive supplements that do more harm than good. The internet is flooded with random advice—intermittent fasting, detox teas, and 'fat-burning' pills. But true health is not found in a bottle; it is built on how you eat every single day. My approach to nutrition is based on two decades of clinical work in Delhi. ### Why Your Diet Plan Fails Most plans fail because they are generic copies. If your diet doesn't account for your work stress, your social commitments, or your cultural food habits, you will quit within a month. I look at the root cause of your symptoms. If you have PCOD, we don't just 'diet'; we fix your hormonal balance through seed cycling and blood sugar management. If you are struggling with hair fall, we look at your B12 and iron absorption, not just your shampoo. ### The 'Kitchen Pharmacy' Philosophy We don't need exotic ingredients to heal. * **Meal Timing:** Eating your breakfast within two hours of waking and finishing dinner early is non-negotiable for metabolic health. * **Whole Foods:** We prioritize raw fruits over juices and whole grains over refined ones to keep your gut microbiome healthy. * **Sustainability:** My plans are designed to be part of your life, not a temporary fix. We even incorporate your favorite meals to ensure you don't feel deprived. Whether you are managing diabetes, dealing with postpartum weight gain, or trying to conceive, the solution is already in your kitchen. We just need to structure it correctly. ## About Nikita Agarwal I'm Nikita, and I've spent 15 years helping women in Delhi reclaim their health using just what's in their kitchen.
