Our approach
A plan that fits your plate.
We start with what you already eat: the family’s cooking, your working day, the festivals on the calendar. Then we look for changes you can keep, and review what is helping.
- Roti or riceBoth can stay. We look at portions, what sits beside them on the plate, and how meals are spread across the day.
- Vegetarian mealsDal, paneer, curd, chana and sprouts are already in many Indian kitchens. We help you see where protein fits into meals you like.
- Office lunchesA tiffin, the canteen or a delivery app: we plan around the lunch you really have, and the long gap before dinner.
- Family cookingOne kitchen often feeds several people. Changes go into the food everyone eats, so nobody has to cook twice.
- CelebrationsWeddings, Diwali and family get-togethers are part of life. We plan for them instead of asking you to sit them out.
These are examples of how we work, not a personal prescription. Your own plan follows a consultation.
What we help with
Five places to start.
Weight is a common reason to come, but it is not the only one. If your reason is not listed, ask us.
Everyday healthy eating and family nutrition
Better daily eating for you and your household, including low energy and low haemoglobin, planned for the whole table.
Condition-related dietary support
Food guidance alongside your medical care for blood sugar, cholesterol and gut discomfort such as acidity, bloating and constipation. Thyroid-related nutrition is assessed individually: diet can support thyroid care, but it does not replace treatment from your doctor.
Protein and strength
Enough protein from vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian food, for strength, bones and ageing well.
Recovery-related nutrition
Eating to recover after illness or surgery. After pregnancy, nutrition is assessed individually, especially while breastfeeding, rather than through a standard weight-loss plan.
Research
How you eat matters, too.
In a randomised trial of 194 adults with obesity, adding mindfulness training to diet and exercise support helped maintain fasting blood glucose over 12 months compared with the control group.
Both groups received diet and exercise support. In the comparison group, average fasting glucose rose by about 2 mg/dL over 12 months, still within the normal range.
An external study in adults with obesity who did not have diabetes. It is not a VinayakM study, and it is not evidence of weight loss, of changes in thyroid levels, or of results after pregnancy.

Your dietitian
Karishma Saxena
Dietitian and nutritionist
- M.Sc. Food and Nutrition
- B.Sc. (Home Science)
- Certified National Diabetes Educator
At VinayakM you see Karishma for your nutrition consultation. The first session is unhurried, so there is time to understand how you really eat. After that, Karishma reviews your progress with you at follow-up visits and adjusts the plan to what is working in daily life.
Nutrition care is part of VinayakM’s Family Health Office, so it can sit alongside physiotherapy or counselling when you need them.

- An individual planBuilt from foods you already eat, with clear swaps and portions, written down for you.
- Review and adjustFollow-up visits look at what is helping, what is hard, and what to change next.

Questions
Questions people ask.
Can I keep eating the food my family cooks?
Usually, yes. Plans are built from the meals you already eat, such as roti, rice, dal, sabzi and the dishes your household enjoys. The changes are to portions, combinations and timing, not long lists of banned foods.
What happens at the first consultation?
Karishma asks about a normal day of eating, your routine, your goals and your health history, takes measurements, and goes through any reports you bring. You leave with first changes to try and a time to review them. Sessions are at least 60 minutes.
Should I bring my blood reports?
Yes, if you have recent ones. Sugar, cholesterol, thyroid, haemoglobin and vitamin reports help us plan more precisely. We read them with you; diagnosis and medicines stay with your doctor.
I want to keep my weight steady, not lose it. Is this for me?
Yes. People also come to eat better, to keep a healthy weight after losing some, or for food guidance alongside a health condition. Choose “Maintain my weight and get fitter” in the questions, or tell us when we call.
I have recently had a baby. Can I enquire?
Yes. After pregnancy, and especially while breastfeeding, nutrition needs are assessed individually. We do not give standard restrictive plans or weight-loss deadlines at this stage, and we will ask what your doctor has advised.
Is the online questionnaire a consultation?
No. It takes a few minutes and helps us prepare for a conversation with you. It does not diagnose anything and it does not produce a diet plan.
