When you lose 12 kg weight, almost 10% body fat and your metabolic age reverses by 20 years compared to your biological age in 4 months, possibly you might think you are either dreaming or it is the work of a Fairy Godmother. With a swish of her wand your wish is granted and you start looking thin and gorgeous – magically.
For me this dream actualised recently. Vinita has been my “Weight loss Fairy Godmother.” It was not with any magic wand but with her expertise as a dietician, passion and determination, she helped me fight the never ending BATTLE OF BULDGE!!!
Before joining, I met Vinita in Mumbai in July/ August 2016. I was disappointed with my weight then and was not hopeful of weight loss. I told her even if I see anything below 60 kg on the weighing scale I would be more than happy. With great ease and a confident smile Vinita told me I could lose 10 kg and more. It sounded UNREAL……… I came back home dancing, imaging how I would feel if I actually lost that much weight.
When I started the weight loss programme in October 2016, I was a good 66.5 kg. Though I was not completely ignorant towards exercising and healthy eating but my weight was going on increasing little by little. My blood reports were alarming with disturbed thyroid levels, increasing cholesterol and dropping D3 and B12 levels.
I started with the diet in 13 th October 2016. All through Vinita would plan my diet very carefully not only considering my blood group and paying attention to my blood reports but she also kept in mind my food preferences. She included cheese, bananas, nuts and much more, which most dieticians would refrain you from eating, while on a weight loss programme yet she promised results which were evident with every passing week. She never encouraged or gave any powders or pills which most of the dieticians give from their side to promote weight loss. Seeing her efforts and honesty I was extremely motivated, I followed the diet with determination and accountability.
By February 2017, I was a transformed person, feeling young and looking gorgeous at 48. I was weighing an unbelievable 54 kg. Last I remember myself weighing that much was almost 25 years ago, before I got married. Reaching this mark has been a grand revival……..
To celebrate this accomplishment and rebooted confidence, I decide to audition for a beauty pageant for married women, where married women starting from the age of 25 years or so were my competitors. I was short listed as one of the top 24 finalists for this pageant which was held in Mumbai recently.
I don’t think without Vinita I could have dreamt of being 54kg, competing with girls half my age. She has not only reversed my body clock but help me restore health and well being in totality. I am recharged, rejuvenated, revitalised……………an overall renewed myself and the more I thank Vinita for it the less it will be,. She is a wonderful friend, a great person and the best dietician I could have ever found.
