These are the top nutritionists in India who are sought after by film stars and top businessmen. In fact, many of these nutritionists are like celebrities in their own right.
One single diet does not fit everyone. What works for one, may not work for some other person. One persons needs could be different, what is available to that person could be different.
So its important to tailor each persons’ diet, but you need to ensure, you are completing the cycle of nutrition.
While balancing your carbs, proteins, fats and fibre in the right proportion is extremely important, you also need to balance out the five basic taste buds (sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter) that all of us have.
These nutritionists are experts in diet-related matters and their advice are sought after even by film stars to help them get the body they desire.

So our job is to help you eliminate these issues from your life, along with helping you with your weight loss. What we do is we find out what diseases which you could be genetically pre-disposed to, based on your various blood reports.

Exercise is Important
While diet takes about 70% credit for weight loss, the remaining 30% can only be met through exercise.
So, exercise is very important for weight loss or for body transformation.
Every exercise regime should be personalised.
It should suit your body, lifestyle, and surrounding. If somebody has knee-pian, the exercises should be suggested accordingly.
Suman Agarwal or Selfcare displayed no capability whatsoever in diagnosing the issue that is unique to an individual or handling the responsibility of the outcome. They use some website(something I can find on the web very easily) where they populate a diet – stuff like 80gms chicken, 100 gms milk, 50 gms humbug and come up with a diet plan of a certain amount of calories, which is almost exactly what I was consuming anyways. Every week at the weight check they will tell you that we are adding another marie biscuit or taking away 2 marie biscuits and this goes on forever. They make you do a battery of tests and don’t have the ability to draw any conclusions from the results. And if all your indicators are normal, man are they even more clueless because they cannot pin down your inability to lose weight on any problem with your system.
