The first call with Mrs Meenu Agarwal was the start of a journey. She explained that if I use the word “diet” then I am putting an end date to the programme. In reality it is a lifelong commitment to healthy eating, exercise, wellness and a new way of life.
I reflected seriously on this aspect and committed to the mindset of a successful journey. Starting the journey on 9th March 2023 and losing 15 kgs over a 6 months period along with feeling much more energetic and positive has been a wonderful outcome to date.
Gone are the days of eating “Bhujia” and “Papad” with every dinner, a tradition with many “Marwari” families. The changes to the palate have been slow and steady leading to not missing these at all.My business and social life requires entertaining and eating at restaurants as also at private homes. I have learnt to keep a fine balance between what I eat when going out along with my meals at home. What has been helpful is to declare my dietary requirements at the start of a meal and most of my guests/hosts have appreciated the move to healthy eating. I was a borderline pre-diabetic, and this has been reversed in the first 3 months. There is a saying in the UK “A moment on the Lips and a lifetime on the Hips”.I appreciate this much more now and would certainly recommend a change in mind set to anyone who wants to improve the quality of their lives.Both Mrs Meenu Agarwal and Ms Ridhhi Bhatt have been very supportive through this journey. Lastly, my journey would not have been possible and sustainable without the untiring efforts of my wife, Anupama. She left no stone unturned in making the food presentable, palatable and interesting along with encouraging me to stay the course! Your future health and that of your family depends on your actions now so please do not
delay!
Yours sincerely
