Nutrition & Diet Guidance

How the guidance works

This starts with what you eat now, not with a printed plan. The aim is small changes that survive a busy week.

1.What you eat nowA few honest days of what actually goes in, including the parts you would rather leave out.
2.What you wantMore energy, better digestion, steadier weight, or eating without thinking about it constantly.
3.The first changesTwo or three things, not twenty. Usually about timing and protein before anything else.
4.Your food, adjustedRoti, dal, rice and sabzi stay. Indian home cooking is a good foundation, not a problem to solve.
5.Checking inWhat held and what did not. Anything you abandoned gets replaced rather than repeated.
6.Understanding itPoonam explains the reasoning, so eventually you can make the call yourself.

What this is not

Worth saying plainly, because most people arrive expecting the opposite.

No calorie countingNo banned foodsNo supplements to buyNo weighing every meal

Alongside the practice, or on its own

Most people take nutrition guidance alongside their yoga, because the two move together. It can also be taken by itself if that is the part you actually need help with.

Anyone tired of starting over

Especially useful if you have tried several diets and none of them lasted past a month.

Questions about nutrition

Before you begin

Will you put me on a diet?

No. The work is building a way of eating that fits your household, your budget and the food you actually like. Plans that ignore all three get abandoned by the third week.

Do I have to give up rice, roti or sugar?

No. Indian food is not the problem and removing whole categories rarely lasts. What changes is usually proportion, timing and what sits alongside them.

Do I need to count calories?

For a week or two it can be useful, because most people's estimates are far off. Beyond that it tends to cost more attention than it returns.

Is this for weight loss?

It can be, and it is not only that. Energy, digestion, sleep and steadiness through the day are what most people actually come for.

Do you work with medical conditions?

Poonam is a qualified nutritionist and works alongside medical advice, not instead of it. If you are managing a diagnosed condition, keep your doctor involved and tell her what you have been advised.

How does it work in practice?

A conversation about what you eat now, then small changes you can actually keep, reviewed as things shift. No printed plan handed over and forgotten.
