I always recommend eating whole fruits. They are rich in fiber which aids digestion and keeps you full longer, unlike juices which are often high in sugar.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e8de136e-b4f4-49dd-8e2d-95745058b510) ## About Nutrition Myths vs. Facts I often see clients frustrated because they have been told that eating fruit at night is bad or that skipping meals is the fastest way to lose weight. These are not just myths; they are roadblocks to your progress. When you stop fearing specific foods and start understanding how your metabolism actually works, you stop dieting and start eating for life. For example, understanding why you need fiber to slow down sugar absorption changes how you view a snack, making it a habit rather than a chore. ### Beyond the Crash Diet Most people come to my clinic in Noida because they are tired of the cycle. They want sustainable weight loss, but they have been fed the idea that 'healthy' means starving themselves. Let us address the most common misconceptions I see daily. **1. The 'Fruit' Confusion** Should you eat your fruits or drink them? I always recommend eating whole fruits. When you juice a fruit, you lose the fiber, which is the most important part for digestion. Whole fruit provides natural sugars balanced with vitamins and antioxidants, keeping you full longer. Juices, on the other hand, often cause blood sugar spikes. **2. The Danger of Skipping Meals** Skipping breakfast or dinner might show a drop on the scale initially, but it slows down your metabolism. When you deprive your body, it goes into survival mode, holding onto fat stores. My approach is about consistent, nutrient-dense meals that stabilize insulin levels. **3. Indian Food is Not the Enemy** There is a common myth that you need quinoa or exotic imported foods to lose weight or manage diabetes. This is simply not true. Your local kitchen is packed with functional foods. Roti, dal, sabzi, and seasonal vegetables are perfectly healthy when prepared with the right portions and cooking methods. I focus on using standard Indian ingredients and cold-pressed oils to help you hit your health goals without having to shop at specialty stores. **4. Metabolism and Body Composition** Crash dieting leads to short-term results and nutrient deficiencies. Real progress is about improving body composition, not just dropping kilos. We work on boosting your metabolism through balanced macros, ensuring you feel energized throughout the day rather than sluggish or jittery. ## About Namita Nadar I’m Dr. Namita, a health coach and PhD in Food & Nutrition.
