Dietitian and Nutritionist
Anu Zaveri
I lost 20 kgs under Mini’s weight loss program. While it was a challenging time for me, Mini was my pillar of strength, support and inspiration all through it.
When I first went to her, I was anxious and unsure, burdened by the problems of being overweight. I told her that I had tried everything and now was leaving my fate in her hands.
She explained to me the science behind the different food groups we consume and gave me a regimented diet to follow. She ensured that there was plenty to eat at well-timed intervals, which never left me hungry or wanting for food. I started eating more than I used to, but all the right things. Her diet did not conjure up the fright the word usually does. With a plentiful variety of food to eat, the regimen became enjoyable and a way of life, one that is easy to follow and can be sustained throughout your life.
I complemented my diet regimen with daily exercising and started seeing results. The two things you must have are faith and patience. You cannot expect to see results instantly. However, you do lose weight week after week, which inspires you to continue. She changed my routine every week, which made it fun to follow it was never boring.
I thank her with all my heart; for what she has done for me, has truly changed my life!
Thanks

Every year I was getting ‘bigger’ but definitely not ‘better’. What I’m talking about is my weight & looks. In fact I had become way overweight. Snacking was an entertainment and comfort for me. I found it difficult, if not impossible, to control my eating as I kept falling into old bad habit over and over again. I had tried withdrawing but it always felt like I was forcing myself.
For me, I can still remember like it was yesterday I weighed about 95 kgs but I never made any attempts to even walk. Breathlessness was an issue & shying away from my social circuit made me approach Mini (My guide to good health) and I decided to finally take control of my weight by accepting this challenge. The constant motivation I was getting from my husband and daughter gave me that push.
It has been an incredible journey of weight loss and personal growth. My sheer perseverance & focus coupled with a diet plan and exercise regime outlined by Mini has worked the magic. It wasn’t really that difficult as I was eating to lose and of course my same old home cooked food stuff with a little twist as far as the breakdown in the meal timings is concerned and today I stand 65 kgs.
I am no longer tired of climbing one flight of stairs. Instead, I bounce up them two at a time. Actually I can exercise for about an hour daily and Yes I finally feel good about the way I look and feel. Thanks a ton Mini.
This diet program does not end here but I believe it has become a part of my life.

I had always thought that going on a diet meant having to deprive myself of food and feeling hungry for considerable periods of time. Instead, under mini's guidance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that neither was the case and I could even stray occasionally without any guilt. I could eat all that I wanted, as long as I stayed within the markers, and felt satiated after eating. My cravings for junk food also steadily disappeared. The results have made me more conscious of what I put into my mouth because I like the way I feel after eight weeks on the road to reclaiming my body. I feel more alive, more healthy and have more energy than I have had in quite a while. My joint pains have almost gone and so has a lot of my stress. I have gained in confidence and am certain that I will achieve my goal.
The diets has been very easy to follow and the best part about it is that you get to eat every two hours ! The whole experience has been a life changing one and I feel good about myself and Mini Abraham has been very motivating throughout the process :)

Mini counsel's all her prospective clients. Never in a hurry to sign you up for her program, has she patiently explained the importance of nutrition in our daily diet. She emphasises on considering a lifestyle change instead of wanting to achieve a short term goal of losing weight. With her positivity and enthusiasm she makes you believe in living One Life at its holistic healthiest best.
Mini complements your medical regime by planning the type of diet to best suit your specific health concerns. Mini includes loads of unlimited/free foods. Whenever feeling hungry, these foods are permitted in unlimited amounts. These can also be added to meals if desired.

When i first decided to lose weight and get back to shape, what struck my mind was ...Oh My god! Boring food...loads of fruits and raw vegetables! And it was with this very idea that I stepped into One Life. And today after six months I have just fallen in love with the whole procedure. My journey to better shape has been the one that I can cherish and continue with throughout my life. Ms. Mini is not a conventional nutritionist who would just write down on a piece of paper what to eat and what not to eat...but she would set you thinking about what is going into your body system. It has now become a habit to count the nutrition’s and calories in what I eat and how do I substitute it with something better. The best part of the whole process is the unconditional motivation that she keeps offering along with the diets every week. I have always felt free to send her an SMS or talk to her about horrifying things like weight being stuck at a point or even the best of things like an old pair of jeans fitting me. But the best thing is that it is not like a diet plan you take from her, but a course you take every week and learn from each week. After a point you can yourselves judge where you are going wrong or where you can cut down or take in a few more things so that the nutrients are balanced. And she sees to it that we reach that point of confidence. One Life....and I guess I have cracked the essence of it :-) walk in my building, my friends fail to recognize me and I smile.

Mini has been a great motivator and an excellent dietician who does not subscribe to the theory of making patients starve. She does not believe in the "One Size Fits All" concept but to eat the right food at short intervals of time, reduction of excessive oil intake and a detox diet once a week. Her dietary prescriptions are also tailor made to suit the individual’s requirements and metabolism rate. No dietary supplements are prescribed to her patients to reduce weight which are not actually required but which are prescribed by most dieticians in Gymnasiums. Thanks to Mini, I have been successful in following her diet regimen diligently and reduced my weight from 87kgs to my present 74kgs and my target is to now lose just 2kgs to get to my right weight. I have also not starved myself to achieve this weight reduction. Today, as I walk in my building, my friends fail to recognize me and I smile. There is however, one costly affair here. I need to change my entire wardrobe as most of my clothes now do not fit me!
