I am a scientific editor and my job mostly involves a sedentary lifestyle. During my PhD tenure, I gained a significant amount of weight due to stress (76kg). Over the course of almost 3 months, I have come down to 66kg. Dr. Maheshwari helped me with diet plans that were successive in nature to help me adapt to a healthier lifestyle. Her plans were nothing too unachievable but rather some modifications in my behaviour to achieve a target weight. It also helped since I come from a very disciplined and a demanding research background.
To start of, Dr. Maheshwari suggested that I eat dinner early, limit my carb intake and move. Which I followed and started to see results. The next routine included more workouts and a changed diet. Slowly and steadily, my portion size reduced. I feel that, that particular change was the most prominent feature for me to lose weight. As a bangali, we love food and we like to eat a lot of it. But with portion control and exercise, one can control one's health.
I do have a long way to go but Dr. Maheshwari's plans have been very useful indeed where the results have spoken for themselves.
Also, I'd like to add that I was taking my BP medication which was stamlo 5mg everyday. But the weight loss exercise helped me to reduce my medication to 2.5mg everyday, then 2.5mg every alternate days and now just twice a week. The reduction of the dosage was recommended by my specialist who was impressed with my bp levels and the weight loss. PS: I will strongly recommend consulting your physician/internal medicine specialist/doctor before you change your BP medication.

I would like to recommend Dr Shruti for pregnancy diet counseling. I was with Dr Shruti during my journey of conceiving till delivering a healthy baby girl. She suggested a diet during my conceiving journey in such a way that I was able to lose weight (around 2-3 kgs as I had normal BMI) without disturbing any body parameters and was able to conceive successfully within two months only. She also suggested exercise regimes during that journey.
So I decided to consult her during my entire pregnancy.
I was diagnosed with border line GD during the second trimester but I was able to control it just by her diet.
I gained healthy weight around 9kg during my pregnancy journey without additional body fat. I am able to successfully lose around 7kg right after delivery.
Dr Shruti is really friendly and explains everything in detail. She always suggests diets considering your choices/preferences. She was also available over WhatsApp to answer my queries.
The most important thing I would like to mention is that I was so active during my 9 months 9 days journey of pregnancy ( although I am Vegetarian and I had milk aversion during pregnancy) but did not feel weakness at any point of time. I was able to do prenatal yoga( morning) and 45 min walk (evening) till the day of my delivery. My family members were amazed and they really appreciate Dr Shruti.
We are really thankful to Dr Shruti for making my pregnancy journey really enjoyable. As she says, We have started believing that "Food is Medicine".
I have already recommended her to my friends and family.
Thank you So much!!!

I would recommend Shruti mam for diet in pregnancy and for baby’s weight during pregnancy.
In my anomaly scan my baby was below 10 centile because of this doctor suggested amnio test as well if there is disability. In reports my baby’s bpd , hc, ac values was also low. Meanwhile i had consulted Shruti mam with this report. She planned my diet and there is one more challenge for her that i had detected with gestational diabetes. So that time it was bit difficult to maintain sugar levels with much food. But Shruti mam given me diet plan and how to prepare those with recipes as well i had to send daily reports to Shruti mam with sugar levels if she wants any changes she quickly changed those things in diet. After this nutrition therapy my baby’s growth was above 10 centile and after every scan Shruti mam suggested some changes according to Scan reports. Now i am in 7th month of my pregnancy and baby is fully healthy. And my baby’s bpd , hc and ac also normal.
I am thankfull to Shruti mam for guided me every day in this difficult stage and my husband and my mother also supported me with this diet plan. Faith on what you are eating. Faith on your doctors specially on Shruti mam for her diet plan. Neutrinos food will always help you for your growth and specially for all who is becoming Mother.
Once again thanks to Shruti mam for guidance and help i will continue my diet throughout my pregnancy and post delivery as well for me and my baby😊.

I would like to write my feedback for Mrs. Shruti Maheshwary who turned my pregnancy journey by 180 degree with her guidance and diet plan.
I came to know about her in 5th month of my pregnancy and by that time i already gained around 5 kgs more. I was unaware that during pregnancy also you can maintain your weight but still let your baby grow. Shruti mam guided me so well by considering my liking and disliking related to food and I was able to maintain my weight along with my baby’s weight. In fact, during pregnancy, in 9th month, my fasting sugar was on higher side, she managed that so well that after a week, my tests results were on lower side.
I delivered baby of 3.3 kg with my weight vaginally. The best part I came to know after my delivery that is I can see fat loss on my body which I never thought of. I think It is the results of my healthy diet during pregnancy due to which I can see fat loss afterwards. The best part of her diet was that I always felt energetic during pregnancy and I had so many options to consume. I was able to walk 10k steps till my due date which no one can believe but it is true. My family members were astonished to see that How can I walk 10k steps in 9th month but I think this was the power of her balanced diet.
Thank you so much Shruti mam for being part of my pregnancy journey. You were always available on call and text whenever I needed.

Before I met Shruti maam, I was a 21-year-old 103 kg male individual who had absolutely no regard for proper eating, exercising and a healthy lifestyle. I was pursuing my Chartered Accountancy degree, and was always caught up with office on weekdays and studies on the weekend. Apart from the occasional footy 2-3 times a month, I never really had any inclination towards any physical activity. Whenever I was asked about getting it shape, I always used to blame my routine or defer it to my to-do list post my examination. Amidst all of my ignorance, I slowly realized the extreme changes in me – I was always tired, lethargic, exhausted and never in the mood to actively pursue anything. I did not have the energy to study with a fresh mind and on the inside, I could sense somehow all of this had to change. I was in my preparatory leave for my CA exams, when the pandemic hit and my exams got postponed. Because of the additional time I had, I figured it is better to work on this goal, and keep myself busy, rather than spend time in other activities.I was introduced to Shruti maam by a friend of mine who told me how her diets are and how she is personally invested in each of the client’s progress. What stood out to me most was that she wanted us to first put in some effort before coming to her for consultation. This shows that you are not just any client for her. She considers you one of her owns. Throughout our sessions, she always made sure that I was putting in the required amount of efforts. Any new goals were set only after achieving the existing ones. There was never a situation when I felt I had bitten off more than I could chew. I had my first consultation with maam on 8th May 2020, where I weighed 103 kilos. Absolutely nervous, it was her who made it clear to me that this was a Herculean task, and that only I could get that task done. This helped me a lot because I was not promised anything unrealistic, but rather a clear and precise roadmap of all that was expected of me. We had a 2 hour Zoom call, where maam spoke to me and my family, asked me about my daily food intake, told me what needs to be added and reduced, and ultimately what my targets were. I had a total of 5 consultations with targets to be achieved over 15 days that had different types of exercises, regulated meal times, controlled portions of eating food and sleep patterns. A notable thing which stands out in the diet plan is an emphasis on eating locally sourced food indigenous to our region and not imported food or additional supplements. This helped in reaffirming a belief in what maam had told me, because she told me something different to the trend these days that focuses on supplements or imported food for weight loss. Over the next 2 and a half months, I stuck to what maam had told me to do – regular exercise, controlled portions of food, regulated eating and sleeping – pushing myself to new limits each day. It was not at all easy. The first week was extremely tiring and exhausting as my body had not yet adapted to such a change. I also remember having to seek out new exercises to do at home because of the lockdown. Amidst all this, I distinctly remember how prompt maam was in supporting me and addressing any concerns that I had. Even when things were too hard, she always made sure that I was being made aware about why I am doing this. Gradually, the results started coming in – old clothes banished for being tight started fitting perfectly, an inclination for being active was created, eating was never out of control. I checked my weight a couple of days before my 22nd birthday in July and the unimaginable had happened – I weighed 83 kilos! A loss of 20 kilograms taught me a lot of things, but the key takeaway from it was consistency. I learnt over the tenure of the program that progression is better than perfection. Not exercising to my full potential on an odd day was okay, but not exercising at all was unacceptable. Having cheat meals after completion of targets was rewarding, but not doing what has been told is unacceptable. Trust the process and keep pushing. Finally, focusing on your own health and well-being is the best investment you can make for yourself. Exercising is the most underrated form of therapy, with eating food being the most overrated. Once that learning is imbibed in you, staying healthy is inevitable and exciting. In the words of Shruti maam herself, her aim is not to make me dependent on her consultation, but to make me an independent dietician for myself. I can confidently say that she has been successful in her endeavor, and I would urge anyone who wants to make change happen in their well-being to consult Shruti maam. Good luck!

I consulted with the doctor regarding my vitamin deficiency, and Shruti provided me with valuable advice and a comprehensive diet plan. After following her recommendations for a month, I've not only lost around 2 kg but also noticed a significant improvement in my digestive health, with all stomach issues now resolved.

The journey of letting goFor many mothers, losing post pregnancy weight is always an issue. Twenty two years ago, I was blessed with a son and the weight I had gained then, I was carrying until now. A chance meeting with Ms Maheshwary got me started on my journey inwards. All the diets I had tried before got me to ‘lose’ weight. But somehow, this lost weight found its way back to me. This time, I did not lose weight. I willingly let it go. Ms Maheshwary delved deep into my personal, physical and psychological history. No one had ever done that and I doubt anyone does. When I had met her, I was going to a gym. To my surprise, she told me ‘You don’t need a gym. Use your own weight to tackle itself’It would be wrong to call her eating plans as ‘diet’. In the course of the past 3-4 months, Ms Maheshwary taught me to eat properly and proportionately, while enjoying it. I did not have to go out of my way to get something exotic or unaffordable. As the numbers on the weight scale started to reduce, I got more motivation to march ahead. Of course I had my moments when I felt like giving up. But she was always one phone call away and ready with a pep talk to pull me through. Until now I never liked exercise one bit. But now I look forward to exercising every day and start my day on a positive note. The past three months have been life changing for me mentally and physically. I have realized that, the only tough thing about this process was deciding to start with it. Ms Maheswary’s holistic attitude and her vision for me (and her clients) are rare to find these days. Her philosophy towards eating is worth adopting for your lifetime!
