Ms. Itu Chhabra

As a PCOD patient, I was continuously gaining weight, was diagnosed with pre-diabetes (HbA1c - 5.80%) post COVID, and my Thyroid levels reached 6.58. I also used to feel lethargic most of the time. My doctor suggested I take Thyroid medications for that. However, before starting, I decided to change my diet and lifestyle. We were looking for a clinical nutritionist for that, and that is how we came in touch with Itu Ma'am. She suggested a two-month program for me where she monitored my weight, diet, blood sugar levels and suggested diet changes and supplements based on the response. I did not have to make drastic changes to my diet for that, and it was easy to cope with the diet plan with minimal variations to my routine. Itu ma'am made sure that I did not feel hungry or deprived despite losing around 5.5kgs in two months. While I completely stopped consuming white sugar, my sugar cravings also reduced (despite me having a sweet tooth). My energy levels also improved. I also saw positive changes in my health, not just the weight loss. My HbA1c level came down to 5.30%, and my Thyroid levels dropped to 4.3110, which is in the normal range. My liver health also improved, and the Grade I fatty liver that I had somewhat reduced. That is when I realized the holistic approach Itu ma'am was taking, and she was able to reverse my thyroid and pre-diabetes completely. I am now continuing with the program and plan to do so in the future. Thank you so much, Itu ma'am! You really turned me around.

A few months back, I was diagnosed with fatty liver stage-2 and entrocoloitis. In last 2.5 years, I had obnoxiously gained almost 20kgs weight. Though, I had consulted many nutritionists and dieticians before to control my unusual weight gain but none of the diets helped. Instead, resulted in a really bad gutt health and problems like bloating, excessive stomach ache, acid reflux, tiredness and intense feeling of food deprivation.

So, I finally decided to consult a medical nutritionist this time who could help me with liver and gutt issues but at the same time also help me manage my weight. I found Dr. Itu on Google search, was impressed by the feedback she had on her profile and decided to give her a try.

During my first conversation with her I was pretty much convinced to enrol under her because she listened to me patiently and carefully, very well understood my health issues with liver, intestines and digestion and also helped me in understanding that why I have been gaining weight and how it is related to my gutt issues.

I have been consulting her for almost 3 months now and have double enrolled under her and I feel way better than before. Every week, she provides me with a detailed plan on what to eat at what time. She is always available on whatsapp or, call and replies very quick for anything you ask her for. She asks almost daily for updates to hold you accountable and really pushes you hard to achieve your own goal. Here are few of the amazing changes that I see in my body in these last months:

- My day starts at 8:00 am now(which was 11:00 am earlier) and ends at 11:30 pm which was (3-4 am earlier) as the doctor stresses a lot on day timings and sleep for overall health

- I have started feeling hungry now, don't feel pukish anymore, acidity and bloating has reduced from 7 days a week to 2 days which is HUGE.

- I feel quite energetic through the day and the body pain/all time tiredness has gone away.

- Waking 10k steps every day has become sooo normal now. Sometimes, I even hit 15k a day when I have time or, feel motivated. Before, I was barely walking 2k steps a day. Itu has helped me a lot there with her continuous push and motivation.

- Have been eating food that is good for my tastebuds, best for my body and completely doable. I don't feel much food deprived with her diet the way I used to feel with other diets. I get to relish my favorites like poha, upma, dhokla, idli sambhar, daal chawal and a lots of veggies :D

- Last but not the least, I have come down a size in my clothes (when I am not bloated) and FINALLY, my weight has started dropping down even after fatty liver and colitis. Have lost 2.5 kgs in last 1 month.

I would highly recommend the doctor. Trust in my doctor, the process and the patience is definitely helping me.

I never thought gaining weight the healthy way could feel this good! My bloating is gone, my energy is back, and my reports show major improvement in fatty liver. With all these positive health improvements I was able to gain 5kg in two months. Thank you, Itu!

Her plan is very easy and simple to follow. No fancy and complicated diet plans. When I went to her I weighted around 69 kg and post four week I felt lighter and my weight dropped 3 kg and my results were changed. She prescribed the diet post looking out all the body composition and also help to understand the requirements of all nutrients and what is actually going wrong. She is always available and prompt on any query and doubt. I really recommend her.

I visited Ms. Itu Chhabra for weight loss and PCOD guidance, but the consultation felt generic with only basic advice and no personalized diet plan. *** ******* **** ** ********* *** **** ******* *** *** *** ******* ********* ****** **** **** Overall, I left feeling disappointed *** ************

Expected a diet plan from the doctor, however that was separate and highly chargeable. The consultation just included doctor explaining about healthy habits which was ****** basic and largely unhelpful. Complete wastage of money!

Itu ji is helped me in management of my sugar level. My HbA1C from 8 came down to 6.9 in 3months of continuous tracking by her and planning my diet accordingly. Easy exercises and diet were guided. Also I lost 9kg wt till date and thinking to continue with my journey.. I am seeing overall improvement in health in terms of strength and stamina and no pains. Thank you.. highly recommend.

After researching many dietitians in Delhi/NCR, my search ended at Nutritu. When I first met Dt. Itu, I was nervous because of my health issues. I was struggling with Vitamin B12, Vitamin D deficiencies, high cholesterol, and sugar levels. Dt. Itu reviewed my reports thoroughly and devised a plan that helped me reduce my dependence on medication.

The good news is that I have completely stopped taking cholesterol medication, and my sugar medication has been reduced by 75%. We are hopeful that by mid-July, I will be able to stop taking vitamin supplements as well.

While the fees may seem high at first, the improvements in my health have shown me that nothing is more valuable than your well-being. The best part of Dt. Itu's approach is the minimal reliance on medicines and a strong focus on a balanced diet. She created a weekly meal plan tailored to my body composition, which has significantly contributed to my health improvements.

Thank you so much, Dt. Itu. I look forward to continuing this diet plan with you for a long time.

I think I have wasted my time over there. In consultation, I have mentioned to her all the problems that I am facing, and she just took my weight and told me that it will take a long time, like 6 months or so, to feel better, and that her package cost is Rs. 15,000 for 2 months, and the cost is the same for all her patients. Basically, every person has a fixed budget, and one day prior to meeting her, I called her and even inquired about the package cost. At that time, she said that she would share the package details after I visited her. I mean, if the package is fixed for everyone, then she could have told me over the call itself so that I could also think about it, and if I feel comfortable with that, then only I will visit her. It would have saved my time as well as hers.

Before meeting her, I consulted other dieticians as well, and all of them were very transparent about their package costs. They have mentioned everything over the call, like what diet I need to follow, how they will help me, and what their package charges are. They have not even taken consultation charges for the same, so before meeting them in person, I can decide if I can go ahead with them, and here I have given consultation charges just to know about her package charges.

 Even if the exact package could not be shared over call, at least the approximate figure can be shared so that people can decide whether or not to visit.

She is constantly monitoring the progress on health… She just check the root cause address it patiently. She is quite positive and always keeps her patient’s morale high and their mind positive to achieve the desired results and goals. Thank you!
