Hi there, I hope you are well. It is okay to consume french fries in moderation once in a while, as cravings are natural and we need to address our cravings. However, maintain portion control, and avoid over-indulging in it :) You can also choose healthier options like baked sweet potato fries, carrot fries whenever you crave French fries a lot. But eating your favourite foods occasionally doesn't harm :) Overindulgence should be avoided. Take care.

Popular opinionIβve been trying to lose weight but find it hard to stick to a diet. How can I create a sustainable meal plan that Iβll actually enjoy?
Hi there,
I hope you are well.
I hear you, and you are not alone :)
Here's how you can adopt a healthier lifestyle.
- Firstly, understand that you just don't have to go on a diet to lose weight. Rather, you need to adopt a lifestyle which will stay with you for longer.
- Along with a balanced diet, you need to incorporate exercise ( for 4-5 times a week, 30mins at least) , drink enough water ( 8-10 glasses), sleep well( 7-8hrs), and manage stress ( by meditation or yoga).
- Enjoy the food that you consume, and take small bites, and chew your food well.
- Incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, eggs, lean meat, wholegrains, dairy and dairy products to your diet. Avoid restricting a particular food group.
- Eat your favourite foods once in a while, so that you aren't missing on to anything.
- Avoid distractions during meal time. Keep your phone, tab, and laptop away.
- Learn to practice moderation and stick to your portions rather than over-indulging :)
I'm too going through this.
What I have realised is lowering your eating portion and doing walk helps
Popular opinionwhat type of food should be avoided by a thyroid patient?
Thyroid patients should generally avoid foods high in iodine, such as seaweed and iodized salt, as well as soy-based products and certain cruciferous vegetables like kale and broccoli, as they can interfere with thyroid function. It's always best for them to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized dietary advice.
Hi there,
I hope you are well.
If you've been suffering from Hypothyroidism, then it is important for you to do the following things.
1) You can consume Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale etc. but in the cooked form only. Avoid having it as a salad.
These vegetables can be eaten once in 3-4 days.
- Reduce the consumption of soy and soy based products.
- Avoid packaged, ultra processed, and refined foods.
- Keep a tab on your sugar and salt intake.
- Go slow on the consumption of peanuts as well.
- Please feel free to get in touch with me for a one-one consultation as I can guide you better on the same :)

Popular opinionI often feel pressured to eat a certain way or follow strict diet rules to fit in with my peers. Is there a way I can stay true to my own nutritional needs and preferences without giving in to external pressures?
If you force yourself into a diet, it might not be as effective as it could be. Additionally, it's not necessary to eliminate all foods; there are always alternatives available. I would suggest consulting a nutritionist who can help you create a personalized plan to manage your cravings and calorie intake
There's no need to feel pressured about it. You eat what you like and want to eat.
Popular opinionIβm a busy parent and often rely on fast food. How can I make healthier choices without sacrificing convenience?
You must stop fast foods as soon as possible. You must try healthy foods that get cooked within no time such as oats
Hi there,
I hope you are well.
Here are ways in which you can eat healthy even when you are busy.
- Chop all the vegetables on a Saturday/Sunday or whenever you get a holiday and place it in a ziplock bag. You can use these veggies to prepare fried rice, poha/upma, sabji, sauteed veggies, stir-fry, etc.
- Puree the curry or gravy base in advance and place it in your freezer. You can defrost it and use it as and when needed.
- Prepare wrap, sandwich batter in advance and place it in your fridge. You can use this for 3-4 days based on the veggies used. Don't keep it for too long.
- You can have sandwiches, roti wraps ( use the leftover sabzi in it), curd rice (easy to prepare), a basic vegetable rice or pulav, protein salads ( you can boil chana, moong) and place in in the fridge.
- If you eat non-veg, then marinate Chicken, fish in advance, refrigerate it and grill it as an when needed.
Let me know if this helps, Take care β¨ and eat healthy!

Popular opinionI sometimes experience [digestive issue] after eating certain foods. Can you help me identify potential triggers and suggest dietary modifications? @drsuruchi
Hi there, I hope you are well.
Certain foods such as spicy foods, alcohol, chocolate, dairy products (to a certain extent), oily or fried foods, caffeine, salty foods, baked goods, salad dressings, fizzy drinks, citrus fruits, beans, legumes, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes can lead to digestive issues. Even raw garlic, and onion can cause cramping. How to tackle it?
1) Firstly try to rule out the triggers, you can start by eliminating a few foods listed above, one by one, and see if your symptoms are better or if the episodes have reduced.
2) Don't give large gap in between your meals.
3) Eat your food slowly and chew it well, eating in haste can be a big reason for indigestion as well.
4) Begin your day with a healthy meal, and avoid sugary cereals or a heavy unhealthy breakfast (cheese sandwiches, burgers, bakery items, etc).
5) Avoid overeating.
I hope this helps :)
Consuming smaller meals more frequently can prevent excess pressure on the stomach and reduce the risk of reflux. πβ¨
Top discussionI often feel bloated after meals. Are there certain food combinations I should avoid to improve digestion? @DrHimabinduKS
Heyy my fellow She-ro. I feel bloating is one of our existential enemy. Always embarrassing us. There are some food combos that definitely help. On the top are fermented foods and pre-probiotics. They improve your digestion too. Foods to avoid would be spicy foods, any sour foods.
