I had taken a six month package from 2nd Nov 2022 to 2 May 2023
Pros: I lost 20 kgs weight and learnt about healthy lifestyle. However, I feel my effort paid off, from the doctors end it was only a diet chart and telling me to do some exercise.
Cons:
a) I have gastric problem and I consulted a Gastro expert doctor and he says it on the diet. He is asking me to eat more as I have been given a standard diet and not something which suits my metabolism rate. I am now trying to sort this. I am still having headache. Whenever I say this to the doctor, the only advise provided is don't exercise or eat like before the diet. **** ** *** ***** ** ***** **** ** *** *** *** ******** ** * ******* *****
Infact I lost more than my target weight within 3 months as my metabolism is good and I follow the diet to the T. However, in such a scenario also no change in the diet.
b) This is not a package but a diet plan only.
I was given a first diet and then 3 times the diet was revised. The revised diet is nothing but the first diet slightly modified like instead of dosa, eat a sandwich etc. Not useful changes.
In the whole program the doctor spoke to me only 1 hour before I joined the program and then two calls of 10 minutes each. There is no major interaction with the doctor. The assistant who was assigned, initially was very responsive. However, later she was always stating I will check with doctor and get back. Then I had to follow up for the response atleast 1-2 times.
In the end the maintenance instructions also I had asked for a call with the doctor, but a standard pdf was provided. My specific queries were not answered.
My conclusion is to pay and get a diet and not take a 6 months package. Max to max a 1-2 months package can be looked into incase you have specific questions.

I was very skeptical about losing weight. I had tried multiple ways in last 4-5 years such as exercise, google diet and going to Dietian one time. I was having continuous back pain that was another reason to go for it . When I took first consultation that time too I was not 100 % sure that it will work. I thought let’s give a try for 4 month plan . After first consultation lot of data was collected about my eating habit as well as full body test was done to check my body vitals However when diet plan was arrived to my surprise, I was advised eat more than I use to eat and dedicated Dietian was available 6 days 9 hour a week over watsup. When some food item is not suiting me and I use to get replacement food and queries were resolved within 30 mins . There was very minimal restrictions on food along with 45 - 75 mins walking . To be truthful I was able to follow 80 % in 2 month in first 2 month and after coz diwali and festive season it came down to 60 % . Even with this I was able to loose 12 kg in 4 month course. As well as back pain is also improved.
Thanks for Dr. Nafeesa, Dietian Shilpa and everyone involved in First Eat Right Clinic

Iam very excited and thrilled to give this feedback to Dr. Nafeesa. I would highly recommend Dr Nafeesa's diet plan for weight loss and medical correction, if you are looking for healthy weight loss. Lost 12 kgs in 6 months. Diet plan is prepared as per your food habits and things that you consume daily as part of meal which makes it easier to maintain afterwards. Very good follow ups. Thank you doctor once again.

Mrs Shabnam M Lely
Age 33
Weight : 75.5 kg
From :
Ahmedabad,
Gujarat, India
17 KG Weight Lost.
My "Diet" is still running,
The best diet is that's which makes you fit & healthy, because it takes time for the body to set up, when you come to your diet routine, then you will see a difference in the body,
2020 to 2021 (In 1 year)
17 kg Weight loss (93 kg to 76 kg)
Perhaps, it's may seem like hearing that just 17 kg was weight lost in the whole 1 year.
Just like,
"It takes some time to get something"
&
"The fruit of patience is always sweet"
It's very easy for a healthy person to change the lifestyle,if follow diet, yoga, exercise or anything, You'll do it whenever you're ready.
But if you want to lose weight without medicines, yoga, exercise and only too diet and that in the condition of bedrest, then it will be like winning Gold medal in Olympics.
You will be shocked too when you read our story,
The Orthopedic doctor for Spine surgery and The Urologist & Nephrologist doctor for to set Valve & Pelvic muscles surgery finally talked about the operation, It's the last option for us, but doctors recommend and prefer to lose weight before the operation.
Then we contacted and talked to some dieticians but seeing this critical condition, everyone said that weight cannot be reduced in the condition of only bedrest and their weight will increase even more due to medicine, otherwise we thought about weight loss surgery.
But when we first talked to Dr. Nafisa and told the situation,she gave me answer in a 1line, First of all I have to changes your eating habits & I have to regularise irregular periods, after that everything will be alright.
I asked just one time,
Weight lose It's possible, she says absolutely possible, but she said that it will take me as much as 1 to one and a half years,
We married in 2007, 14 years have passed, but don't have a children,
Dr Nafeesa said, maybe it's also possible,
after then we decided to Diet.
As it is necessary to have the right doctor and the right treatment with the right time, Without this not complete and correct treatment is not possible.***********************************************
To about " Dr. Nafeesa "
In a few words I can't explain what she did for my wife,
But She made The Impossible to Possible for us to our lives,
She is a truly God gifted for us,
We are very happy and satisfied with she what work she done for us,
We have no words at all.
Dr Nafeesa is a Qualified Professional Dietitian & Nutritionist,
She is very knowledgeable & well experienced in her field,
As a person she is very good & friendly and talks to very well & explains, what they need to do.
"First It Right"it's a true logics & right mission
Staff's person also well co-operatives & regularly connected,We also give thanks for Shilpa ji.
*********************************************
What's a result to " The DIET "
3 PROBLEMS WAS CURED TO DIET
1.
Started Dr. Nafeesa's diet, since then periods are coming regularly on about 45 days.
For the last 18 years, the problem of irregular periods was treated only with Diet, did everything for this but did not get success. Did yoga, excersize, take medicine.
2.
After 6 months of starting the diet, the problem of Urinary Incontinence was completely cured by itself.Which was a big surprise for us.
The problem which was not cured even after taking medicine, It's happened only by diet, without operation and medicine.
This was possible due to the hormonal balance of the body and the muscles of the body coming in the right position.
3.
Her body's size & shape has also changed a lot, She looks young now, Also size is coming from 4XL to XL size, she feels better now
4.
But the back problem is not solved yet, but Dr has given her easy exercise, she is trying to do herself, now it's easier than ever for her to walk, get-up and sit, she can do some working now,
We are very happy and gladly say that after this situation we are preparing for the baby.
5.
There was no problem during dieting and medicine was not given without reason.
we're regularly consulting to the our doctors and routing check-up's & tests.
*********************************************
BEFORE THE DIET
My wife's problems & situations :
1.Irregularly periods (last 18 years)
2.Back-Pain (more than 4 years)
3.Urine incontinence (last 2 years ago)
4.Weight gain (in last 2 years)
She had the problem of irregular periods for the last 18 years,Every treatment was done.
Did yoga, exercised, but it didn't help anything.
For a few years,She had a problem of back pain,then after that there was a problem of Urinary Incontinence,
All his movements had stopped because of a lot of back pain,She couldn't stand for more than 5 to 10 minutes, due to too much back pain,She couldn't exercise at this reason.
The Orthopedic doctor for Spine surgery and The Urologist & Nephrologist doctor for Pelvic surgery finally talked about the operation, It's the last option for us.
But still, you have to reduce your weight anyway, if there is some benefit from reducing their weight,
After all, we had last option an operation.
But Doctor's also advised for diet before the operation and that's we decided.
Then we contacted and talked to some dieticians but seeing this critical condition, everyone said that weight cannot be reduced in the condition of only bedrest and their weight will increase even more due to medicine.
We didn't know Dr. Nafisa nor did anyone refer us to her, I searched online because now I need one of the most experienced dietitian's and not just nutritionist.
But when we first talked to Dr. Nafisa and told the situation, she gave a very good responce and said that it will take me as much as 1 to one and a half years, but it is absolutely possible,
Then I had too also expected somthing, otherwise I was completely disappointed that even diet can't do anything now.
But after 1 year now we are very happy and continue to follow our diet program.

It gives me real pleasure to write a feedback for Dr.Nafeesa. I met her in a Hospital and was highly impressed by her simple, uncomplicated & polite manner. I had in the past consulted few dietitians but all of them had some or the other rigid opinion about food habits and almost all of them prescribed an instant Diet Plan with very little investigation. The results also used to be little and not long lasting in the past.
I was carrying approx 24 Kg extra for almost six years. Met various dietitians in the past. One of the Nutritionists that I met six months back sold approx Rs.15000/- worth of supplements and food items to me, which now I feel was the most stupid mistake of my life. Later on nothing happened I lost 4 kg and gained back 8 kg. When I met that nutritionist again for follow up, she wanted to sell some more nutrition products, supplements, food items to me. I simply dropped the idea of consulting them again.
During the consultation which lasted for about 40 minutes, she was very elaborate to explain all the BCA (Body Composition Analysis) report along with all other health issues. I discussed all other issues i.e diabetes, insulin, food, allergy, intolerance, blood reports etc and she listened calmly, patiently and answered all the questions without a sign of haste, inconvenience, and burden. Hats off to this approach. She is charging 600 for her initial consultation, which, seeing her hard work, I will say is not only justified, but it is less.
The best part came when there was an opportunity to sell her packages/programme/services. She did not try even once to sell any package. She simply explained my need and explained the services that I should go for. No hard selling at all. I took my time and called her after 10days, after making all research and meeting other dietitians, the best part is that I did not receive any sales call from her clinic also. I choose to take services from her because of her uncomplicated and simple approach.
After three months I am a very happy person because I made a right decision to join First Eat Right *** * **** **** * ***** ** *** ******* ******* *** *** ******** ****** experience and simplicity. The most important thing that I have achieved is HbA1C levels that have come below 6. This never happened in past 6 years. This is amazing. This has happened just because of minor adjustments and corrections in my food habits. No supplements, no drinks, no pills at all. This proves that the best way is the natural way.
At last I lost 8 kg and I am satisfied with this loss, because I know I can maintain this through out my life if I stick to Dr Nafeesa's instructions. Cheers Doctors. Lots of thanks to team First Eat right which has worked like angels for me through out three months for follow up calls, emails, messages, what's app. Finally thanks to Dr. Nafeesa for all prompt follow up consultations and meetings.
Visited For PCOD/PCOS Treatment
One year back, I’m not sure it was my desperation or disappointment that was capturing my mind. I was kind of upset and more importantly not sure what is the direction I need to take. I know I was overweight, and that need to be reduced. The Doctors whom I visited told me that I have PCOS even they recommended to reduce weight, but nobody really given me the way for doing that. As a usual practice, I tried Gym, Aerobics, and some diet control. The results were always being disappointing, after a month or two, I hardly see a variation of one or two kilogram, which easily go back to previous state, once I skip the routine for a week. The most negative part is it tends to go further up sometimes.
The next option I have in front of me is to induce more hormones to my body and get a baby, it has been a general practice though, I was always concerned about my health as well as for the baby after this procedure, especially with the type of career I was pursuing.
I was ready to anything, which can give me results. All I want is to have a healthy beginning and a healthy family. Then I got an idea about dietitian. In a city like Bangalore, there are lot of people who can help me in this, but this time, I want to make sure I doing the right thing. So when I saw the profile of Dr. Nafeesa Imteyaz It was not an easy pick, but when I started to see the reviews, I was kind of sure that this was something that I was looking for.
When I met Dr. Nafeesa, she was the one, who first told me about the importance of eating right. Without maintaining the right eating habits, no matter what you do, the effort to reduce your weight is sure to go in vein. This is something which I learned from my experience. And this is what she explained to me. But the best part is she had a solution for that as well.
I took a three months’ program initially, first she tried to understand my present eating habits, and she made changes to that in her program, this made me very comfortable to adapt to the diet, as I have heard (or maybe I was thinking that way, as I have seen few of my friends follow that way) that most of the dietitian suggest some diet prebuilt and make you follow that. Here I was having all things that I love to eat, but just that I was controlling the quantity that I intake.
Initial few days was tough, but the encouragement that she provided, and the way she used to follow up with me make me stick to the diet plan, as she suggested, after the initial days I was getting more and more comfortable with this. What I also understood is that If you are eating right you don’t need to put lot of time in gym or any physical exercise. Just 30 to 45 minutes of walking a day can bring in magic to your life. In no time I was managed to bring down 10Kg of my weight. It means, I was getting closer to my target.
Eight months after I met her, today I’m at the happiest moment of a women’s life. I don’t know how to express my thanks to the doctor. Without her help and support I think it was impossible to achieve this. My PCOS level is also reduced, and I feel refreshed as if I got a new life.
To those who feel PCO’s are your trouble in your life, All I want to tell from my experience and if I can quote Dr. Nafeesa Imteyaz words, this is not at all a problem. It is caused because of the change in your lifestyle. Change that and start eating right. That’s the best treatment for this.
I don’t have words to thank Dr. Nafeesa Imteyaz. All credits for her for bringing this happy moment in my life. I don’t think I can ever forget this experience throughout my life. Once again A big big big thank you Doctor.
THANK YOU

First Eat Right Review
I started working out around five years back when I was in college, I lost a lot of weight initially but my fitness levels were not good at all. I was skinny fat to be precise and could not do much about it as I had no one to guide me on a diet regimen. After I started to work I was going in and out of the gym because of the time constraints, plus a list personal and medical issues hit my workout schedule and I began slowly gaining weight and the lethargic lifestyle began to set it. On moving to another town I began working out again but even this time I had no guidance and relied on online websites, here they were prescribing supplements like whey protein powder, creatine etc. The funny part was protein powders were not just added in smoothies but was also recommended to be added in oats porridge and even chicken curries, they did quote studies whose journals and methods were never mentioned and seem dubious in some cases. Also they were a big fan of the organic/bio movements and me being a man of science started to doubt them as I knew these food fads were just fake and not really healthy nor they were anything beneficial to the environment.
Moving to Bangalore and gaining almost 23 kilos in two years of time was a wakeup call for me. I went from being under weight to overweight in no time. The last 8 kilos were gained in 8 months when I quit gym. Not knowing what to do I decided its time I get professional help and to my luck I found one ‘First Eat Right’. After going through the initial assessments of my physical activities, measurements and eating habits Dr.Nafeesa made a personalized diet for me, I was asked to have just a brisk walk of 5 km daily in one hour for the first two months. I was skeptical at first but when she explained to me the scientific basis of this I was satisfied.
The diet began and to my surprise I reached the target in one month itself, I had regular checks every week and I was informed on how to proceed with things in case I had broken the diet. They were very helpful especially when the cravings began to set in I was advised on how to tackle them with ease. This was a completely scientific process and had no fancy weight loss supplements or any magic creams just disciplined food intake and exercise. Since I wanted to get back into the gym I was advised on how to increase my protein intake naturally and I’m seeing the results clearly today. Now my fitness levels are at its peak I’m able to complete nearly 7 km in one hour and I’m able to lift weights better than what I used to do before and with more ease.
I would definitely recommend ‘First Eat Right’ for anyone who has trouble with obesity and other weight related problems. They are very co-operative and also have a personal touch to your regimen by constantly taking feedback and advising on your fitness levels now and then. Please do not go by magazines or online forums, they did not do much help to me. For a scientific, personalized and easy to follow diet plans ‘First Eat Right’ is the perfect place. I’d like to thank Dr. Nafeesa for helping with this wonderful transformation in my life. ’If you give a man a fish he is hungry again in an hour. If you teach him to catch a fish you do him a good turn’ First Eat Right has not just given me a diet for a few months it has thought me to lead a healthy lifestyle for a lifetime.

It gives me incredible delight to compose a testimonial for "First Eat Right". I never felt so certain and all credit goes to Dr. Nafeesa. Because of her direction and confidence I could lose 10 Kgs, and I am cheerful about the outcomes and I should say its worth to join.
It is a spot where you can get fit normally. What's more, you can stay solid and fit. I mean whatever Ma'am tells about the eating routine is so much normal and simple to take after. However on the off chance that anybody asks me I propose them this is the best place to get in shape and stay fit in the event that you are truly dedicated. As it's difficult to get an appropriate and authentic direction. Dr. Nafeesa dependably listens to the issues and determines it. She is always there to assist.
In spite of the fact that I was somewhat hesitant at first on taking after their eating routine administration and work‐out plan, two weeks into it and that kick‐started my certainty of losing 10 Kgs in 3 months. I was truly devoted in taking after the eating routine diagram. All on account of Dr. Nafeesa who was empowering and helped me to develop a positive approach through the course, disciplined me on my food habits.
'In the first place EAT RIGHT' never believes in accomplishing weight‐loss through starvation, yet with a pragmatic and feasible eating routine. Cheers to Dr. Nafeesa and all the specialists there for running this center and wishing them for some more fruitful accomplishments.
The Doctor is a brilliant individual gives complete time to comprehend and listen to your issues and after that gives recommendations which are truly pragmatic and possible to do. She guides you to the right program, unlike other places where undesirable things, tests, are recommended just to take more cash from client or patient. I am into the system from most recent 3 months till date it is going brilliant both regarding result and in addition administration from the specialist and her group.
My involvement with first eat right was great and agreeable. I achieved my objective weight without compromising important nutrients. Dr Nafeesa gave me exceptionally straightforward typical eating regimen arrangement which was like my eating routine. In the middle of the arrangement I could go out on an occasion likewise as the arrangement made me figure out how to choose what to eat and how much. It taught me how to control on junk food and significance of physical movement in our day by day schedule.
I strongly recommend first eat right for shedding weight in right manner. This is right place to stay fit and healthy.
Motherhood brings unparalleled joys. It brings indescribable agonies of body too. And being a fitness freak for7 long years, my whooping 21kgs of weight gain sent me into throes of despondency. I was at the brink of desperation to get rid of those unhealthy flabs. 83kgs was weighing me down, literally. I joined my gym back a year later but a twisted ankle and some silly cysts erupting from my ovaries made my struggle a bit more severe.
My distress was growing manifold. My yoga, my dance, my weight training..i missed them all. And more than that, missed my fitness. And then ; I thought "if not now, then never". A newspaper ad took my resolution flying towards 'first eat right'. And there she was, my angel, Dr. Nafeesa. and there was no looking back after that. She chalked out my goals and guidelines to achieve them. She gave me 12 weeks. I gave myself a second chance. And I swore to help myself. To save myself. The most promising part of her diet plans was that it was so very doable. No crash dieting. No supplements. No gimmicks. Plain practical healthy eating with calculated nutritional intake coupled with regular high intensity exercise.
Fortunately since I have always been gastronomically very flexible, it was pretty easy for me to modulate my intakes. {That foremost included resisting my son's rejected (but utterly delicious) food primarily consisting of oodles of ghee and calorifically richest ingredients on earth! And the other being my unflinching loyalty to the set of sweet teeth i inherited from my maternal ancestors! ;-)}. As my exercise-loving self gave me an extra edge to grind myself at the gym, those ugly adipose tissues hanging dedicatedly for 1.5yrs started surrendering in defeat. Inch loss! Can anything render greater bliss!!
After the first week when I weighed exactly a kg lesser on my scale (i did that thrice to reaffirm the swirl of delight erupting inside), it was nothing short of awe. My resolution doubled up, sleeves rolled up a few more folds and the road ahead-much clearer and closer.Following her prescription till the last punctuation delivered me to my goals.Nutrition and portion control managed 80% of it while my yoga and cycling handled the rest. The subsequent weeks were exciting and extremely fruitful. 14 weeks and 13 kgs down. Whoa! It was something..
I would also add that I ended up annoying and offending a lot of people in those few weeks. I learnt to say NO. Be it outing with friends or family meals or party invitations, I was on high alert. (Since temptations come in the most delectable forms, I suppose I had turned into a saint fighting those tasty sins!) My mental calorie calculator didn't allow me to touch the forbidden! But all the sacrifice reaped the sweetest fruits. And the daily diet diary which I was required to fill not just kept me in check at all times but gave me an extra high. (I have an OCD of documenting everything!) ;-)
My secret motivation trickled down from the time I decided NOT to give away my pre-pregnancy clothes. And the moment I managed to slide my 4yr old jeans up, successfully fastened its button, and pulled my old kurti down without exploding out of it, I knew I had done it!
Though I was still 65kgs (a little on the higher side of my ideal weight), my hopes were not any lower. I knew I could go further with my hardwork. I had reached my plateau. It was tough but I did manage to break it eventually in 2 months and tumbled down to 61kg by last September, and I still maintain that weight despite all the occasional cheating! My plunge from 83 to 61 was indeed an ordeal and a learning experience. With confidence skyscraping and health regained, I cannot be happier than now.
Dr. Nafeesa has been a sweetheart all through. She never gave up on me. Every meeting was informative, corrective, thrilling and fun. Well, a talkative me and a great listener in her was a potent combo indeed. And for enduring my inexhaustible question bank with an untiring smile on her face, she deserves a paramvir chakra!
My association with first eat right did end after 3 months, but my connection still remains. A metabolic connection I should say. I am a changed person. No for any cosmetic reason, but for my wellbeing and health. I might cause many eyebrows raised in surprise if Isay that I still eat the same as I used to during those 12 weeks. And that is because it is no more a diet chart for me, it is my lifestyle now. I cheat at times. But my metabolism handles it well. All Thanks to first eat right. That is because I learnt not just to eat to lose weight, but to EAT RIGHT.
I cannot thank first eat right enough for what it has done for me. And Dr. Nafeesa, thanks would be a small word.
A big big thumbs up to the team.
