Ever noticed how just two hours can completely flip your next day?

9:30 PM vs 11:30 PM
Same bed. Same person. Completely different biology.

Here’s what most people don’t realise.

When you sleep around 9:30 PM, your body is actually working with nature.
Melatonin starts rising on its own, cortisol stays calm, your brain begins its night-shift detox, and your hormones quietly get back to balance.
You wake up feeling like your body actually recovered.

But push it to 11:30 PM and things change fast.

You miss the natural melatonin peak… which means you keep tossing around.
Deep sleep gets shorter… which means you're already behind even before the day begins.
Cortisol spikes early… due to which you have more stressed mornings.

And the worst part? Blood sugar and appetite hormones get messed up, the same reason late sleepers crave more sugar and feel hungrier the next day.

We think it’s “just sleeping late”.
But your body thinks it’s stress.

Try sleeping earlier for 3 nights and watch how your energy, focus, cravings, and mood quietly reset.

Your body isn’t asking for perfection. It’s just asking you to respect its clock.

If you want me to share a simple night routine that actually helps you sleep earlier.

Comment “SLEEP” and I’ll send it in DM.

Why Weight Loss Is Slow For Indian Women ?

Ever wondered why women struggle more with weight loss compared to men even when following the same diet and routine?
The reason lies in biology, hormones, and lifestyle patterns unique to Indian women.

✅ Here’s why weight loss feels slower:

✅ Lower muscle mass – Women naturally have less muscle, so fat-burning is slower
✅ Hormonal changes – PCOS, thyroid, PMS, menopause यामुळे metabolism कमी होते
✅ High stress levels – Cortisol वाढल्याने belly fat साठतं
✅ Low protein intake – Indian diets मध्ये protein खूपच कमी असतं
✅ Nutrient deficiencies – Iron, B12 कमी असल्याने energy कमी आणि cravings जास्त
✅ Sleep issues – Hormones imbalance होऊन fat burning थांबते

Small lifestyle changes → Big results
But the approach for women needs to be different.

Why Your 35 Year Old Body Doesn't Lose Weight Like 25

After 30, your metabolism, hormones, muscle mass, and lifestyle all start changing.
That’s why the same diet or workout that worked at 25 stops giving results at 35.

✅ What changes after 35?

✅ Metabolism slows down – your body burns fewer calories
✅ Hormonal shifts – especially in women (estrogen, progesterone, thyroid changes)
✅ Muscle loss starts – less muscle = slower fat burning
✅ Higher stress levels – cortisol increases belly fat
✅ Poor sleep cycle -directly affects weight gain
✅ Less physical activity - busy lifestyle, family responsibilities

Small metabolic changes → Big impact on weight loss after 30.

Why is the weight loss pattern different for Indian men and women ?

Same diet, same workout but results completely different? Here’s why!

Weight loss doesn’t work the same for everyone, and there are clear biological reasons why Indian men and women lose weight differently

1. Muscle mass difference
Men naturally have more muscle, which helps burn more calories even at rest.
Women have lower muscle mass → slower fat loss.

2. Hormonal fluctuations
Women experience monthly cycle changes, PCOS, thyroid variations all of which affect metabolism and cravings.

3. Eating pattern differences
Indian women often eat last, eat less protein, and skip meals — leading to slower weight loss.

4. Fat storage pattern
Women store more fat around hips & thighs (estrogen-driven).
Men store more around the abdomen easier to lose initially.

5. Stress & sleep impact
Studies show Indian women experience higher daily stress + lower sleep quality → weight loss slows down.

Weight loss isn’t just about food it’s about hormones, muscle, metabolism and lifestyle.

Nuts aren’t just snacks. They’re functional medicine.

Studies have consistently shown that nuts play a therapeutic role in managing chronic conditions from heart disease to hormonal imbalance.

As a nutritionist, I rarely recommend a generic “handful of mixed nuts.”

Here’s what I do instead:

🟢 Low mood or high stress? → I add cashews, loaded with magnesium
🟣 Thyroid support? → A few Brazil nuts can help regulate function
🔴 Teen acne or skin dullness? → I use hazelnuts + almonds
🟠 Cholesterol imbalance? → Pistachios + walnuts work well together
🔵 Cognitive support for older adults? → A mix of walnuts + vitamin E-rich almonds

Here’s what the data says:
🔸 Walnuts (rich in omega-3 ALA) improve brain function and reduce inflammation
→ Journal of Nutrition, 2021

🔸 Brazil nuts (just 1 a day!) can improve thyroid hormone levels in selenium-deficient women
→ Clinical Nutrition, 2020

🔸 Almonds help reduce oxidative stress and support memory in older adults
→ Ageing Research Reviews, 2022

🔸 Pistachios improve lipid profiles and reduce LDL cholesterol
→ British Journal of Nutrition, 2019

🔸 Hazelnuts are loaded with vitamin E, vital for skin health and anti-ageing
→ Nutrients, 2020

Different nuts for different needs.
Food as support, not just calories.

The truth no one tells you about health: there’s no miracle meal, only consistent choices.

As a nutritionist, I’ve seen this over and over people wait for the “perfect” diet plan, detox, or supplement.

But real transformation starts when you choose nourishment, one plate at a time.

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about showing up for your body daily, mindfully, and patiently.

Because one meal won’t fix you.
But one decision, repeated every day, absolutely will. 💪

How much protein is there in curd ?

Most people think curd has very little protein but that’s not true.

Amul Masti Dahi (1 full tub = 1 kg)
Total Protein: ~25 grams
That means approx. 3–4g protein per 100g serving

So if you’re eating 1 bowl (~200g), you get around 6–8g protein from curd alone!

Curd is not just good for protein it also supports gut health, immunity, digestion and skin.

- Add curd to lunch for better digestion
- Use it as a protein booster in vegetarian meals
- Choose plain, unsweetened curd only

💬 Comment CURD and I’ll share the healthiest ways to include curd in your daily meals.
