When I help people lose weight I have 2 golden rules: Keep it simple, and keep it stress-free.

We’ve all got busy lives and while experimenting with new recipes is fun, when you’re trying to lose weight, it involves constantly recalculating your calories and macro nutrients.

That’s why my meal rotation method is so effective. It keeps you consistent, ensures minimal food prep stress is minimal and guarantees weight loss.

How it works:
Choose 2 to 3 meals for lunch and 2 to 3 for dinner.

These will be tried and tested meals that deliver on your calorie and macro targets.

Repeat these meals throughout the 7-day week.

I follow this myself. As a part-time locum optometrist, I haven’t got time to make complex meals. So, on work days I go for simple salads – ensuring I include grain, leafy greens, protein and healthy fat- while on days off I whip up scrambled tofu with avocado and sourdough bread. This makes my life so much easier; there’s no guesswork and makes my grocery list that much more straightforward.

The beauty of it is that you can be flexible with it. So long as you keep to the 80/20 rule – which is following a healthy diet 80% of the time, you can make room for indulgence on those big family outings, parties and work dos. It won’t affect your weight-loss progress …significantly! 😉

What do you think? Do you have any more simple hacks for losing weight?

Another heatwave is upon us and with more warm spells to follow this summer, the last thing you want to do is slave away at a hot stove in order to eat healthily. So today I’m sharing my yummy Mediterranean summer salad.

It only takes 15 mins, doesn’t involve using a oven nor hob and most importantly delivers on all of your key nutrients.

Like all good combinations it contains leafy greens, a bit of crunch thanks to the addition of walnuts and air-fried chickpeas (great for balancing hormones ladies), some pickle, juicy veggies, and proteins.

And let’s not forget the dressing. The one I use here ticks all the boxes. It has a good source of fat- I used avocado oil here, some Balsamic vinegar to give acidity, Turkish herbs, a dash of sweetness thanks to the Pomegranate molasses and salt.

So if this summer you’re looking for maximum taste and goodness but want minimum fuss in the kitchen, save this recipe. Or share your own heatwave proof salad recipes in the comments. Stay cool everyone and HYDRATE!!

What I Eat in a Day

As a nutrition coach I like to practise what I preach. Which is why I’m sharing what I typically eat in any given day.

What you’ll notice is just how easy and quick these meals are to make – they’d have to be for me as a working mum of 2 on the go! -but packed full of those super nutrients I wax lyrical about!

So you see, eating well isn’t rocket science nor calls for gourmet chef skills. Just some knowledge and guidance - something I can help you with!

Feeling inspired? To help you get started, below is the recipe for my breakfast:

Cacao chia pudding

2 tbsp chia seeds
1tbsp flax seeds
1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
1 tbsp vanilla flavoured protein powder
50g greek yoghurt
110 ml milk
1 tsp maple syrup
Toppings of choice, (I added berries pumpkin seeds and desiccated coconut).

Success story: “Rakhee helped me lose 7kgs in just 3 months just by reducing portion sizes and eating well!"

Nothing makes me happier than helping my clients live their best life. This time it's single mum Satarupa, 48. With my help she shed 6kg in just 3 months just by reducing portion sizes and eating that little bit better (also upping her physical activity). Here's her journey.

Then:
“For the first time in my life I suddenly experienced an increase in weight - I went from 67kg to 70kg!

I started feeling heavy and lethargic and everything felt like such a struggle. I went to Rakhee to help me manage my weight but also because I wanted to prevent getting osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes like my ageing parents.

Now:
Rakhee taught me how to eat good food - no strict diets- and for the first time I was not starving. She also advised that I continue to move rather than be sedentary all day and suggested exercises - even showing me the form.

I did weight training 3 times a week and for the first time felt like I had a routine for food and exercise that wasn’t difficult to maintain.

The result: I lost 6 kg in 3 months, lost a lot of fat around my body and have maintained it just by managing potion sizes and eating well.

Throughout all of this, Rakhee has always been open to all my queries and helped keep me on track. I realise now that I’m in menopause and now have a plan that I can maintain easily! Couldnt have done it without Rakhee! ”

The headlines have said it: Bowel cancer is rising in adults under 50! And then recently, James Van Der Beek died at just 48 after battling colorectal cancer, which really brought it all home!

As a London-based nutrition coach working with the Indian community here, I’m worried. Too many of us are sedentary, eating ultra-processed foods and running on stress — and it’s taking a toll on our guts and long-term health.

But here’s the hopeful part:
Diet and lifestyle can make a real difference.
One of the simplest, most powerful tools?

👉 Getting at least 30g of fibre every day.
Fibre isn’t just about digestion — it supports:
✔ Gut health (your body’s engine)
✔ Heart health
✔ Balanced blood sugar
✔ Healthy cholesterol
✔ Reduced inflammation

Yet many South Asian diets in the UK are low in fibre — especially those heavy in refined flours and fried snacks.
So let’s start with food you love and can stick to. ❤️

Check out my fibre-rich twist on South Indian dish Upma — using wholegrains and lots of veggies, keeping it gut-friendly, quick, affordable and perfect for busy lives.

Small changes today can build big health tomorrow. 🌱

Want some help on getting more fibre into your diet?

PCOS-Friendly Recipe Alert!
As you saw in my previous video, fighting PCOS the natural way is far more effective as it will work on your health inside and out.

But stumped as to where to start? Eating the right foods is the answer.

Every meal needs a balanced amount of protein, fibre and good fats but also try to go for wholegrain rather than refined carbohydrates. This will ensure your blood sugar is more regulated which in turn helps hormones stay in sync.

To make it easier, I'll kick-start your inspiration with 3 pcos-busting recipes, quick to make, but full of nutrient goodness. Scroll through to learn more.

Which one looks good to you? Let me know in the comments.

Hi again 👋🏽 It's Rakhee, your London-based nutrition coach.

September is PCOS Awareness Month, and it’s something I'm all too familiar with. In my 20s, I had all the signs: thinning hair, painful acne, stubborn belly fat, irregular periods, and constant fatigue.

You' d think shelling out on a fancy shampoo, cream, or supplement would sort that out. But it's no cure, just a quick fix!

I want PCOS sufferers to know that there’s a simpler, more effective way. Eating the right foods, moving your body, and balancing blood sugar can make a huge difference—trust me, I’ve lived it.

Since my diagnosis:
- I’ve focused on putting WAY more whole foods on my plate.
-I'm doing strength training at home & at the gym,
- and looking after my wellbeing through hobbies such as meditation and singing.

And now? I have clearer skin, noticeable weight loss, fuller hair, and more energy.
⚡
Believe me, it's been worth it! Because people with PCOS are 4 times more likely to develop diabetes, plus face fertility, metabolic, and hormone challenges. So these natural methods work on guaranteeing your health while getting you back to looking your best!

If this resonates with you, follow along this PCOS Awareness Month for more tips on nutrition, lifestyle, and hormone health

Six Men Talk Health

Happy Saturday guys! Following my last reel, I talked about the dangers of men not taking their health seriously enough. Hopefully it was food for thought. If you're still sitting on the fence, I decided to get some input straight from the horse's mouth.

Here six men, of different ages and nationalities reveal their attitudes towards health. Do you agree with any of them?

Mondays are client check-in days — a chance to discuss how they're doing, what's working and what needs to be tweaked. Today one client back to me with their update… and wow!

He's a 43-year-old father of two. A tech professional working from home.
He’d been working long hours, relied on food on the go and hadn’t exercised properly in years. When his blood pressure started rising dangerously, he knew it was time to act — but he didn’t want to go on medication.

So we built a realistic plan:
< 1,750 daily calories — no starving, just smarter choices
< 10,000 steps a day
< 3 proper workouts a week — nothing extreme, just consistent effort

3 weeks later:

✅He's lost 3kg
✅His Blood pressure significantly improved (see slide 3)
✅He's noticed more energy, better sleep, and real momentum

How's that for some Monday Motivation? And it's ’s not magic; it’s a plan that fits your life — and it works.

If you're ready to take control of your health without flipping your world upside down...
