If you are used to heavy, fried vrat food, let’s change that. I’m here to show you how to detox, stay energized, and actually feel good during your fast. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Did you know that most store-bought heeng (asafoetida) contains wheat or maida, which breaks your fast?

It’s a small switch that makes a big difference in keeping your vrat truly shuddh (pure).](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/96e3b7a3-ef34-468e-82bd-46ffb10e594c) - ![Here is a sample meal plan for Day 2 of your Navratri fast.

Most commercial options are bulked up with wheat or maida, which breaks the purity of your fast. Switch to a pure block heeng instead; it is a small change that keeps your vrat truly shuddh and saves your gut from unnecessary inflammation. The festival season is a time for devotion, but your health often takes a backseat to heavy, calorie-loaded meals. I don't believe in the common trap of 'fasting' that turns into a potato-and-sugar fest. My approach to fasting is about detoxification, not deprivation. ### Avoiding Common Pitfalls Many people accidentally break their fast's health benefits by consuming hidden additives. Whether it is refined oils, maida-based hing, or excessive deep-fried snacks, these choices lead to bloating and metabolic crashes. My 9-day Navratri meal plans replace these with high-protein, nutrient-dense alternatives like makhana walnut tikki and sweet potato paneer chaat. ### Transitioning After the Fast Transitioning back is just as important as the fast itself. My post-fasting protocols focus on: * **Hydration:** Starting with jeera or warm lemon water to wake up your digestion. * **Fiber-First:** Incorporating a pre-meal salad or vegetable soup to prevent overeating. * **Gentle Movement:** A simple 10-minute walk post-meal to manage glucose spikes. ### My Philosophy We will work together to ensure you don't undo your hard work the moment the fast ends. Whether you are in Bengaluru or anywhere in India, my online coaching helps you adapt these traditional practices into your modern routine. We do not use rigid diet charts; we use habit-based coaching that respects your lifestyle. ## About Vijeta Goyal I’m Vijeta.
