I still remember my first call with Neha where I, tired of getting on 3 m -6 m diets and coming back to square one the minute i go back to my regular life, very bluntly asked or rather told her - “I am a chef. I eat everything, I need to eat everything. My schedule is very erratic and all over the place and I just cannot go into some strict regime for a while and stop eating. I also have a bad knee issue which limits my ability to do all kinds of workouts but at the same time, is why I need to bring my body back into shape again. Do you think you can work with a person like that?!”
She simply said “yes”. And that she works with people in high stress careers very often. And that’s how my journey began.
I had an international trip coming up right after and I asked her if we should start the plan after I am back and she said no, we start now. With small baby steps because if this is your life you need to learn how to navigate food through all situations.
Over 8 months, Neha has really helped me heal my relationship with food, allowing me to decide the pace and timeline, without ever making it feel like a “task”. She has taught me to understand nutrition properly and not just told me what I should eat it but also why I should. Her whole ideology revolves around building your relationship with your gut and most importantly, teaching you that the deadline does not matter and it’s ONLY consistency that brings results. She is probably the only nutritionist who did not ask me for my weight or weight goals and instead was more observant of the other, more realistic health markers through my journey.
I have watched my body transform like never before and I finally feel like my lifestyle has changed. I still have a long way to go to reach my goal, but I have moved from the mindset of losing x amount of weight in the shortest amount of time, to actually taking the slower route but knowing for a fact that the weight will never come back. Neha prioritises your nutrition and behaviour and emotional patterns with food and gently course corrects you towards your goals.
Neha was the best thing that happened to me in 2024.
