A casual walk to the Annual medical check-up, lands up with a surprise of ‘High Cholestrol level’ – wondering if the results were accurate and could this happen to someone who is just 64 kgs and jogging routinely.

Shared this with my wife and without informing me she booked an appointment with Meenu (one of the few right things she did ). The thought of going to dietician irritated me with images of boiled food and leaf vegetables and recommendation on life style changes that might be difficult to follow.

Cut 2 – I was with Meenu in her office explaining about my routines and eating habits – turns out beside my active exercising routine the choices of my food and Eating patterns were quite unhealthy and erratic to say the least. Started a 3-month program with her which included changes to my palate and eating pattern – over the period of 3 months went thru 3 different diet routines given by her. This had an immediate impact – within first few weeks, my weight came down further and at the same time I was feeling quite active and healthy. The best part was the choices of food given were something which I can easily follow repeatedly. Over the period of 3 months, eating consciously and healthy food (does not mean salads all the time) became a happy habit. The Lipid profile results were excellent and back to a very healthy state.

Thanks, Meenu for institutionalizing this positive change!

I started off with Meenu’s diet plan after having problems shedding weight, acidity related issues and reducing cholesterol levels. Meenu’s diet and exercise regimen has given me a more disciplined approach to food. I successfully managed to shed 6 kgs in four months considering my chaotic work schedule. I could see a significant change for the better in my acidity related issues. I no longer binge eat and I am more conscious of my intake. Meenu was prompt in following up even though I was always tardy in updating her. Bunch of thanks to Meenu! I couldn’t have done it without you!

My journey with Meenu Ma’am began at a totally unexpected note when my wife surprised me by scheduling a meeting with her. Here I was meeting a nutritionist for the very first time thinking I’ll be put on a series of cant-eat-this, workout for hours in the gym, don’t go for social outings etc. but to my surprise, she told me I could eat everything, as long as I ate with wisdom and in moderation. We started with baby steps, understanding what works for my body and what doesn’t via weekly meal plans. She was patient with me and kept track of my progress – even if I slacked somewhere, she’d bring me back on schedule.

Every day would begin reporting previous day’s weight, deviations and work out details.
This started giving me a sense of where I am going wrong and how can I correct my mistakes in my meals during the day. The meal plans were simple (all ingredients could be found in our kitchen), innovative and also introduced many new recipes in my life. The improved nutrition was evident from the energy I felt during the day and to my surprise I was actually relishing my food!

For all this duration Ma’am helped me learn how to connect with my body and listening to it before anything else, I continued my hectic corporate work-life, travel, festivals, parties and yet losing weight. She taught me how my weekly eating outs, my vacays wouldn’t bring back the lost weight by making smart choices, efficient workout and never to starve myself. So yes, now I can also say that one can lose weight, get healthier and yet can still lead a normal life and have all the fun!

As no change is simple in life and I think changing food habits are among the toughest, my mentor Meenu Ma’am was my guiding star and a strong pillar of support in my journey, her motivating talks gave me the much-needed push on my low days. Getting in shape not only boosted my health and confidence, but it also reflected in my annual medical tests this year. It was good to see myself fit 6 years old pair of jeans and receive compliments from friends and family members for my transformation. I can’t thank Meenu Ma’am enough for making this possible.

I had always been on the leaner side but due to work schedule and life style, I had a sudden weight gain and no matter how much I tried to control it in addition to the high intensity workouts 5 days a week, the graph just went upwards. I never use to eat anything unhealthy, no frozen/fried food but some how was just not able to get around the weight gain.
I have known Meenu for about 10 years and am connected with her via Facebook. I use to get the healthy tips and updates from her daily posts which finally made me contact her to get some advice. I must say, that was one of the best decisions I ever took. On the first call, she gave me tips on how to have a regulated daily diet, portion size and intervals. She also explained me an option to get a more formal daily 3 month meal plan that may help me with the unstoppable weight gain but never pushed me to sign up for that and I chose to go with it. Just in few days she sent me a complete plan which was very easy to follow. I was in touch with her on a daily basis and she was always there if I needed anything. Given my work, sleep schedule, it took some time but it did work . I am almost there where I never thought will be able to reach.
I can’t thank Meenu enough for helping me out. I am so glad that I did reach out to you. THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks Meenu for helping me in attaining my goal. Your weight loss strategies are superb. I was never convinced that I could loose weight but you assured me. You told the way of mindful eating which is the key to success. Mindful eating and exercising leads to weight control.
Thanks again.

I had the pleasure of meeting Meenu Agarwal last year when I contacted her for nutrition and weight loss counseling. Meenu did not restrict my eating habits but showed me how to read labels and introduce healthier things & timings into my diet. She taught me about the nutritious types of food that encourage a healthier lifestyle and living. She also showed me how to increase my exercise so that my body would work more efficiently towards my achieving my goal. I am pleased to say that I have lost weight, my cholesterol levels are under control and my overall diet has improved. Meenu is completely professional, yet she has a touching compassion and dedication to her clients. I am proud to be able to say that she has been my nutritionist and she brought about a significant change in my lifestyle.

Thank you Meenu for setting me off on my weight loss journey. It has been a bumpy six months with my weight see sawing up and down. However I managed to lose a few kg though I have PCOS. I also have to admit that I didnt stick totally to the meal plans. I intend to do so in the future hopefully. My biggest achievement is that I try to eat healthy wholesome balanced meals and am aware of what i put into my mouth and the consequences i will face. I also exercise much more than before.My blood test results were a bonus as i have managed to bring down my triglyceride levels to normal . I also feel more invigorated and active.My family also enjoys the healthy recipes Meenu introduced to me like the Quinoa , Poha , Guacamole , avacado salads etc. Meenu thank you for being a good mentor and listener and urging me to eat better and exercise more. For anyone who is in my shoes, dont give up. The journey, though its going to be long, will be well worth it.

Meenu this was long overdue;);).. my experience of following your diet plan for 3 months helped me reach my target weight , I lost 5 kgs and a further 2 kg more even after completing the diet session. I always believed that my bootcamp or hardcore cardio could help me lose weight but that did not help much. With your diet plan many eating habits have been corrected –
a) i have drastically dropped sugar from food, except sugar that i consume in fruits, this life style change has greatly helped me in stabilising my new weight.
b) i now choose sensibly, both what to eat daily and when i am travelling and how i can balance the excess with cardio or exercises the next day.
Most of all what i have loved about you is your time and concern for answering queries, especially when i was anxious about weight loss and you explained the role of hormones in this. Plus you’ve always been there helping me with diet suggestions for recurring ailments, even after my session got over with you. Also i am genuinely touched by your concern for a very dear relative of mine, for planning out his diet and closely following up:):)Thanks a lot and    You are truly passionate about your work and doing great good to a lot of us:):) — feeling happy.
