Testimonials
I was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in 2019 and had been on multiple medication including steroids since then, which has negatively affected my Physical and mental health and I had a weight loss of 15Kg.
In 2022 I was fortunate to contact Meenu to help me with my dietary plan and my journey for wellness started. Thanks to the program, my IBD has been in remission since then and didn’t had any flair ups.
Meenu and team has been a great support with regular follow up and prompt responses on any query which me or my family members have on any dietary restriction. The diet plan which was given was customised to my needs and regular available food and vegetables.
I learned through the program that it may be true that IBD cannot be cured through medication but it can be controlled thorough proper diet and exercise.
Thanks to Meenu this has been a fun journey to health and wellbeing.
I’m so indebted to Meenu for all the support she has given me in making food healing for me . From being totally lost and confused on what to eat and not to eat ,relationship with food is pretty stabilised now . I have been fighting with leaky gut and food intolerances for years . Meenu understood what I was going through and patiently replied to all my queries . Would recommend people like me to make her a part of their healing journey.
Lots of love and blessings to her and her dedicated team .
Testimonial: Group weightloss program
At first, I was not sure about any kind of weightless/ dieting related solutions.
The first reason, my love for food. I am a munching guys.
For me food can be good or best , but can’t be bad.
Secondly, my family, especially my wife had always thought that dieting/following a specific diet is only for celebrities.
Being a typical vegetarian family living outside India, food is kind of only option to celebrate our happiness and sometimes to get out of frustrations.
However, We are really thankful to Meenu Aggarwal and her team especially Mubaraa who changed our perception about food and whatever I mentioned above.
We got results in three months. My wife and I lost 5 kgs and 10 kgs respectively. Now the diet schedule shared by Food N Wellness team is kind of our part of life.
Even my son ( 12 years) is quite conscious about food and health.
The good thing about Food N Wellness team, they understand about our food like / dislike and the way their team supports and motivates us is really amazing.
Regards to my wife who practically worked it out with the support from Food N Wellness.
I am blessed to have been part of Meenu Ma’ams wellness and group weightloss programme. The core of programme is that they are customised and tailor made diet plans which seeks to improve all of your health challenges through scientific nutrition. The team is equally good, and they give you to eat what you like so these programmes are not those where you are supposed to lose the weight by just curbing your meals. she gives you right food at right qty and at right time. She works closely in developing diet plans and counselling patients on special diet modifications based upon nutritional requirements of one’s body. Time to time she also arranges Functional training programs along with the weight loss programme. They focus on Lifestyle changes and thus makes everyone very clear that certain small lifestyle changes contribute much to achieving your weight management goals. Healthiest way of losing weight so that it never bounces back is core of her programmes. I highly recommend her. Continue to do good work Ma’am. thanks.
My journey from 89 Kg to 69Kg is an amazing one. My friend Madur Mehta saw a recent picture of mine and said I cannot look like this anymore, He then introduced me to Meenu Agarwal. I avoided calling her and didn’t take the matter seriously. My son Eishan who lives in London was here in town and started nagging me to have a word with Meenu.
Finally, the day arrived I fixed an appointment and had a video call with Meenu where we discussed at length my medical issues along with my weight problem. After a lot of deliberations, I took on her 4 months program. My diet chart was sent, and the journey began on 25th of October 2021. With the support of my wife Manisha & son Eishan I was maintaining the chart to the T. I started losing weight. In the beginning it was very rapid. There was a strict day to day monitoring by Meenu and my son who is a fitness freak and knows a lot about dietary plans. Meenu was a big support in the program would call me and advise me on my problems and monitor my sugar levels as well as my BP and weight loss. We would speak at least once a week. After a few days my sugar levels had dropped drastically, and weight loss was rapid. BP had already come down to normal.
I went on a wedding trip and came back with lesser weight. Then was went on 2 holidays and the same results. My HBA1C levels which was 6.7 dropped to 5.9 my fatty liver was also in the process of coming back to normal.
I am proud to say that Meenu has been instrumental in changing my lifestyle and reverse all my problems. I am continuing with the same diet still and being guided by Meenu. Thank you Meenu Manisha and Eishan for changing my lifestyle and my problems.
It’s been amazing working with Meenu.
I have known Meenu since 2017, when both my husband and I wanted to opt for a healthy lifestyle and lose 5 kgs. With Meenu’s persistence and easy to implement diet we were able to accomplish that . Recently in October 2020, I developed a fatty liver, my energy levels, vitamin B12 and ferritin were drastically Low and during this Covid year I barely exercised, as a result put on adiitional 6 kilos. All this contributed to the fatty liver. I had to rectify my eating and lifestyle habits , which Meenu very patiently explained to me.
Meenu knew that I would follow through as she knew I was health conscious and this situation was born out of the Covid situation.
In a matter of a few weeks I started losing weight as she put down these thumb rules: 1) only 2 teaspoons oil for cooking ,2) no sugar and 3) no alcohol. And quite true to what she has always mentioned that 70 percent of our weight loss depends on what we eat and 30 percent on our exercise. So I began eating a lot of yellow and green vegetables in every meal . Along with 2 fruits in the morning, lots of chutneys, soups and seeds and nuts in appropriate quantities.
There were days when I couldn’t be that honest in following through and I would communicate the same to which she would respond by encouraging me to start afresh. Along with regerating the liver , Meenu also introduced probiotics and was helping me deal with my previous digestive issues . She allowed me to be flexible but always very watchful:)
I am really happy to report that after following Meenu’s diet for 3 months my liver enzymes are in the normal range, I feel alive as I eat a variety of fresh vegetables, have more energy, lost 6 kilos and I greatly appreciate the bajra and jowar rotis that she got me started with. I feel Meenu pays close attention to all symptoms, can make one persist as a good coach and is always available for clarification and encouragement. All thanks to her now atleast my breakfasts are tastier along with healthier variety for me and my family.
My Life 2 years after the Food and Wellness program.
Enrolling with Meenu Aggarwal’s wellness program in March 2019, was one of the best health decisions I’ve made.
Reasons I decided to join Food and Wellness program.
There were two reasons I approached Meenu, severe knee pain and of course weight loss. I never took any supplements and was against the idea because from my perspective I eat a super clean and healthy diet. so, I don’t need any supplements. Before knee pain I was pretty active, playing tennis and hitting the gym almost every day.
During the first consultation she suggested I go through a couple of tests and guess what my results were?:
· Low HDL
· Low B12
· Fasting glucose high
· Low Vitamin D3
· Ofcourse abdominal bloating and acidity.
How the Food and wellness program has changed my life
Diet regime started in March 2019, all meal plans were designed by Meenu, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks. Plans were highly personalized according to my need as my working hours are from 7:30am to 4:00pm. I was supposed to cook in advance at home or get up early in the morning for preparation. I appreciate that breakfast was easy to cook within 6 to 7 min. The most surprising part for me was to eat 5 times a day. I used to eat a proper meal once a day, so at that time I was stubborn about eating 5 times a day. However, she managed to produce research-based evidence that convinced me and this eating produced the promised and long-lasting results on my health and lifestyle. Additionally, she crafted special meals when I was traveling for long time. Along with meals, various supplement were included in the plan, Vitamin D3, B-complex(B12), calcium, omega-3, Vitamin E etc.
Regarding physical activity, she asked me to cover 8km distance brisk walk every day. To be honest with you guys I was thinking why she was asking me to walk 8km when I had such a bad knee. After some time, she suggested using the stationary bike in the gym and so strength was built in muscles, and I managed to walk 5 km in starting and later I was doing 10k steps or 8km a day easily. My blood test report showed improvement within 6 months and my last blood report exceed all my expectations. I was walking without any pain in my knee and I removed the knee band I was using to support the knee and on a normal I walk I now complete10k, steps maximum and 7K steps minimum till date. Additionally, I do approximately 18 flights on stairs every day. During lockdown I got my mum enrolled with her and it’s almost three months now and she is showing tremendous improvement on acidity and her waistline has reduced. Mom will get her blood tested once again when the COVID situation has calmed down.
The other day I was discussing with my mom about how much healthier we are eating now for sure because Meenu’s program had educated us about when, what, and how we should eat!!!
Meenu is highly approachable, which I appreciate, although I no longer regularly consult with her. She is always ready to reply to any questions I have and recently she approved a protein supplement for me for better results after workouts!
Nutritionally and Healthy Yours,
Deepa
Hi, hope you are doing good😊 Just wanted to thank you for the major improvement you have caused in my health. I went for my 3 month diabetes check up and my HBA1C is in ideal range, the Dr was very surprised as 6-7 mths ago it was very high and they have started me on stronger medicines.
What is more amazing is that from 1 Sep, I haven’t been to the gym or walks due to my daughter’s PSLE and my diabetes medicines had also finished since last 3 weeks. Despite all that the sugar levels are fairly good is what amazes me the most.
7 mths ago I was struggling every day and was at my wit’s end as to do what to manage my health!
Today I know atleast my weight is consistent and I am not scared to eat. I still have my struggles and I have yet to lose a lot of weight but atleast I am on the right path😊
To do or not to do, was the question I wrestled with when I saw my medical report nine months ago. I had high blood sugar levels and a fatty liver syndrome none of which were going away from what I thought were my new “healthy” eating habits. Consultation with doctor only highlighted what I have been trying to put on the back burner for some time. I needed to do something about it.
Fortunately, I met Meenu as a friend and in a social conversation learnt from her that the effects of fatty liver are totally reversible by diet, and blood sugar too could be regulated naturally without help of medications. That spurred me on to think about trying out such a diet, if it existed. Of course, I was apprehensive that any kind of diet would mean huge sacrifices in terms of giving up eating what I liked and surely I would be made to eat bland and tasteless boiled food- a thought I didn’t relish at all. These ideas came from articles in magazines that heralded all sorts of new diet fads, much of it based on Western diets. However, I decided to trust Meenu and follow her customized plan for me. She put in effort to understand what my lifestyle entailed and what my food preferences were before giving me the plan. It came as a huge surprise that actually the plan did NOT expect me to be gobbling boiled veggies and salads only. In fact, it consisted of super delicious Indian food that I adored! And what’s more, after a couple of weeks it started showing results, first and foremost in loss of weight. Intrigued, I couldn’t believe it and got even more motivated to stick to the plan still somewhere expecting the bland vegetables to follow. However, after a while into the plan I realized that I was still eating what I liked but instead every meal became highly nutrient-dense, yet tasty. Meenu crafted meals with balance and proportion that not only brought in the weight loss but also built up my energy levels, stamina and my body started healing itself. Besides the diet, I became aware of the critical importance of exercise. For me, it was walking, yoga and swimming. I was always doing these but hadn’t realized how much was optimum for me. With this program, I became more aware of where I was lacking and needed to focus more. With the recent medical report indicating that my fatty liver is completely reversed and my blood sugar levels are much within desired range, I feel its work in progress. I am grateful to Meenu for showing the way. It has been a journey, yet always the first step in the most difficult one.
Meenu’s program has enriched my life by setting me on the path to health and wellbeing. The thought of doing it alone was very daunting and one never really knows if you are doing it right. Yet with Meenu, I found a friend who supported my
journey all through- from diet plans, to responding to my queries and inviting for her online talks that really expanded my horizon.
The most valuable learning for me was how to be mindful about portion size and quality of food and eat right to stay healthy. What has been priceless is how Meenu empowered me to chart my own path by understanding what is best for my health. From feeling apprehensive to being able to take baby steps on my own is an enormous change. The question ‘To do or not to do’ that started it all; with Meenu it feels like I didn’t have to choose!
I was fortunate to find a lifestyle coach in Meenu to help me achieve my health goals. Today I have dropped my weight by over 12 kilos and feel much more energetic & healthier. It all started March of 2020… the pandemic restrictions forced me to start new routines to adapt to the changes while staying safe and well for ourselves and community. Starting a new habit is difficult however by finding a purpose and adding 3 new habits with the advisory of Meenu has made me better than before.
I was able to stay accountable to myself by declaring my goals and sharing updates with Meenu and my wife. I continue to build on them in the new year by recycling the 3 habits – Healthy eating (Food choices from Meenu), making physical activity part of my every day and recording daily journal entry.
Many thanks Meenu for helping me double down on self-care.
