Deepa Nandy's Nutriguide, Andheri West

Hi, I had gone to Deepa Nandy’s Nutriguide after a devastating diagnosis of a chronic inflammatory disease (autoimmune) called Ankylosing Spondylitis which had been causing me severe SI joint, ankle and feet pain for some months. Little did I know back then that this decision of mine to take her consultancy would help me more than any medication or doctor could. When I went to Deepa Mam it was due to the fact I was severely overweight (130 kg bodyweight, 43% body fat) and managing the symptoms of this flare-up required me to reduce my body fat. After my diagnosis in January my medications began a few weeks later, delayed due to some medical difficulties. Initially after some improvement the relief fell completely stagnant. This time in my life was so bad it was inexplicable. There were a good 3-4 months where I had to use a walking stick just to walk at home and a good amount of time I used a walker as well. Make note although I was overweight, I was into competitive powerlifting so this phase of my life was shattering my confidence. This tunnel seemed to have no light at the end of it or so I thought. After months of trying all sorts of medications to almost no avail so much so there was a time, I was popping 10-12 pills a day even after suffering from severe cramps all across due to them.

Then after putting off the most beneficial thing for me, I decided to finally think outside of medicines and into my diet. I went to Deepa mam around end June for the first time since my predicament began. Keeping in mind till now I had looked into all possible avenues I could find online to improve my condition. After looking and assessing my condition she took some time. In about 2-3 days she came to me after researching and looking into multiple resources and figured out a diet for me. It was a low FODMAP diet which she figured out specialized for my condition. This led to cutting off of many foods which were causing my gut harm and aggravating my condition. These food items which I restricted were nowhere mentioned by my multiple doctors thus far. Me being a research student myself got me interested at this, from which I understood how fundamental my problem was and how remarkably Deepa Mam was able to obtain a connection between my condition and how a diet can help. Calling the diet helpful would not be enough to describe what it did to cure me and became like a light at the end of a long dark tunnel.

My ESR and CRP (both inflationary parameters determining how active the disease is in me) dropped to almost half within 3 weeks which were not decreasing actually increasing after months of medication. The best part was I was not losing strength as my diet consisted of all required macro and micro nutrients but reduced my excess body fat at an accelerated rate with no loss in strength or muscles. From 130 kg and 43% body fat to 102 kg at 30% body fat all this from August to December just 5 months of following Deepa Mam’s diet. I was back doing all the physical activities I love got back a sense of self after loosing it due to my inability and inaction because of my condition. All these and a reduction in the dosage and requirement of various harmful medications given due to my condition by rheumatologists.

From having to use assistance to do my daily tasks and a walker to just move around to being able to walk and stretch and get back slowly to do all the things I love and finally get back to college I would credit Deepa Mam for giving me my life back.

Deepa Nandy was referred to me by a close friend of mine, I have Thyroid and PCOD which made it very difficult for me to loose weight.

Deepa ma'am, suggested a very budget friendly diet to maintain the nutrition and calorie intake while helping me drop down weight/inches. She just altered my daily diet giving me more healthy choices to eat.

She didn't ask me starve, she gave me more options to eat good/healthy food.

It's just been a month since I joined her, and I've already lost 4 kgs. Different bodies have different ways they loose weight. The reason for losing weight is not just to wear what you like, but also to help you improve your overall health, which inturn reduces your chances of falling prey to other diseases.

Few lifestyle changes can go a long way....

Deepa ma'am is excellent at her job, and all her patients are examples of that.

Visiting Deepa for diet consultation has been pivotal in my weight loss journey. For the last 5 years I tried very possible trick to lose weight without any lasting results. But Deepa just made a few adjustments to my eating and exercise habits which made all the difference. I lost almost 7 kgs in 3 months without starving or overly exerting in the gym. Few simple changes like eating more proteins and strength training is all it took to finally see that drop on the scale. Apart from weight loss my overall health has improved. I feel more energetic and cheerful all day. Deepa is a wonderful guide who is so enthusiastic to share her knowledge and guides you throughout without being very restrictive. I loved meeting her every week for our check ins which kept motivated and on track.

Deepa Nandi is well experienced nutritionist who takes pains in customisation of diet as per the patient's needs and guides wek to week My sugar levels are now within controlled diabetes range after following the diet prescribed by her I would recommend diabetes patients to consult her

I visited Ms. Deepa nandy for the first time in 2012 for weight loss and diet treatment and with her guidance i was successful in losing 8 kgs of my weight. I again started taking the same treatment in June 2023 and i lost 7.5 kgs in 10 weeks. Now i am 70 years old bit i feel 50 because of her diet programme. She is very friendly but at the same time very much strict in our daily diet programme. Many many thanks to her.

Will turn deaf ears to your problems or negate your diet related problems stating that it is caused due to your body type. Not at all helpful for vegetarians as not much changed in diet in 3 mths stating that there are not much options. In that case the fee structure should come with disclaimer ahead of opting the plan. Also, I was on a very low calorie diet leading to hair loss. The measurements were too tight and choking for showing the progress, that really did not exist. I strongly do not recommend.

Her knowledge seems to be good but she is too rigid in her approach. Weight loss requires a focused diet but the patient’s likes/dislikes and other things need to be considered too! A person in their 30s has a life beyond diet. They HAVE to attend family functions and work related event. Moreover, they need some relief from their stressful life now and then. This doctor mostly just calls you back to check your measurements than give any actual change in diet or help you adapt to it. *** ***** ** **** ******** ******** ** ***** *** *** ****** ** ******** *** **** ***** ****** ** **** ****** *** * ********* ******* ************* No point in being a doctor if you are only going to lecture people.

Deepa has great energy and I connected very easily with her. I feel motivated when I talk to her and I felt the genuine care she has for her patients.

Dr Nandy is an amazing Nutritionist. Her diet chart help me post covid recovery. Within 10days I almost got back my 80% strength. I even able to jog 3km per day without difficulty.

She was very good at explaining everything properly. She wasn't like the ones who recommend not to eat but she's given me a chart which is so fulfilling & yet its a complete balanced diet. So i am happy 😊
