I was eating less… but my body wasn’t letting go.
At 45, as a nutritionist and entrepreneur, I finally understood something I wish I had known years ago:
👉 Weight loss is not just about calories
👉 Bloating is not random
👉 Your body is always communicating
For the longest time, I was in a calorie deficit…
yet I felt constantly bloated, inflamed, and stuck.
If you’re an Indian woman over 40 living in the USA, dealing with bloating, hormonal weight gain, menopause belly fat, or slow metabolism, this is for you 👇
Here’s what was actually going wrong:
1️⃣ My digestion was compromised
Low calories ≠ good digestion
Chronic bloating and inflammation were blocking fat loss
2️⃣ Too many grains, not enough nutrient density
Even roti, rice, and “healthy Indian meals” can slow fat loss if your body is inflamed
3️⃣ Protein was too low
A common mistake in Indian diets, especially for women 40+
4️⃣ Blood sugar spikes (even in a deficit)
Sugar, milk, and frequent eating were keeping insulin high
👉 which blocks fat loss
5️⃣ I wasn’t giving my gut a break
Constant eating = no recovery for your metabolism
What changed everything for me:
✔️ Intermittent fasting (great for insulin resistance)
✔️ 2 meals a day (2MAD approach)
✔️ High-protein Indian diet
✔️ Carbs mainly from vegetables (low-carb lifestyle)
✔️ Cutting down grains (roti, rice)
✔️ Eliminating sugar & reducing milk
The result:
✨ Reduced bloating
✨ Better digestion
✨ Hormonal balance improved
✨ Sustainable weight loss after 40
✨ More energy throughout the day
If you’re a woman 40+ struggling with weight loss, belly fat, PCOS, perimenopause, or menopause symptoms, remember:
👉 It’s not just calories
👉 It’s your hormones, digestion, and lifestyle

5 lesser-known foods for perimenopause nutrition every woman 40+ should know 👇
1. Flaxseeds daily → supports estrogen balance naturally
2. Add a pinch of salt to water → reduces fatigue, dizziness & low energy
3. Eat protein first thing in the morning → balances blood sugar & reduces cravings
4. Pumpkin seeds → rich in magnesium for better sleep, mood & hormone support
5. Fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kimchi → improve gut health & hormone balance
Struggling with perimenopause weight gain, fatigue, or hormonal imbalance?
Start with these simple nutrition changes for real, sustainable results.
As a 45yo nutritionist in perimenopause, I used to stay awake most nights.
Even when I managed to fall asleep, I would wake up at 2–3 AM and then feel groggy and exhausted the entire day.
If you’re experiencing perimenopause symptoms like sleep disturbances, fatigue, or hormonal imbalance, you’re not alone.
Here’s what helped me fix this up to 90%:
• Eating dinner by 6:00 PM (about 4 hours before my sleep time at 10 PM)
• Following 2MAD (2 meals a day): 11 AM and 6 PM
• Supporting my body with key nutrients: Magnesium, Creatine Monohydrate, Fish Oil, Probiotics, and Berberine (to help stabilize blood sugar and insulin spikes)
• Calming my nervous system by sitting quietly for 15–20 minutes before sleep.
This isn’t a 100% fix, but it made a significant difference in my perimenopause sleep issues, energy levels, and hormone balance.
I’ve also recently started peptide therapy, which has further improved my sleep quality and helped regulate insulin spikes.
If you’re going through perimenopause symptoms like poor sleep, weight gain, cravings, or low energy, comment below and I’ll share everything that worked for me in a simple PDF.
Happy weekend 🤍
A day in my life. Just a daily vlog.
Unwinding a day by kitchen chores and cleaning.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that feel the most satisfying.
If you know, you know.
Nothing comes easy. Even if you feel like not doing it you still do it.
It’s not motivation.
It’s just discipline: which means you do something repeatedly even if you don’t feel like.
I am feeling the best in my body ever at 45
Long way ahead.
One day at a time.

Real Talk: Was it easy to lose 3.5kgs in a month with 2 MAD(meals a day)
No it wasn’t. I would feel hungry 🤤
But I discovered a hack of drinking chia soaked water which helped me keep my hunger at bay.
Overall a very happy feeling. I am sleeping better, feel more energetic and lighter.
Of course the Glutathione IV has helped me a lot with detoxification, improving my digestion and giving a boost to my gut health.
Loving my transformation so far. My goal is to drop total 6kgs
2.5kgs more to lose
