Question 5

Will I have to give up Indian food or my favourite meals?

Absolutely not. The philosophy here is to work with your existing food culture — whether that's dal-chawal, rotis, parathas, or regional specialties. The approach is about making smarter choices within familiar meals and adding nourishing foods.

How quickly can I expect to see results?
