Sweta Uchil-Purohit: Dietitian, Wellness Coach, Online Indian Dietitian and Nutrition Content Writer

Sweta Uchil-Purohit is a dietitian with over 20 years of experience in the field of diet and nutrition.

Having started her career as a clinical dietitian at Manipal Hospital (a multi-specialty hospital) Bangalore, she has sound knowledge of diets for patients with diabetes, renal disease including kidney transplant, cardiac problems and obesity.She considers herself lucky to be able to work with the best doctors in Bangalore during her 6 years at Manipal Hospital. Here she also had the oppurtunity to teach nutrition to the Manipal School of Nursing Students and also the pre-med students doing their training at the hospital.
After that she switched from clinical to ‘Preventive Nutrition’ when she joined a Nutrition consulting firm (NICHE) as the Nutrition Manager. Here she counseled software professionals in all the leading IT companies(like Wipro, Philips, Motorola, HP). She also managed and trained an in-house team of dietitians not just in Bangalore, but also in Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata. She also briefly trained the dietitians at Talwalkars Gym(Bangalore & Chennai)
Later she moved abroad and went on to online diet consultation and handled diet consultations for Indians living abroad mainly in North America (USA, Canada), Europe, UAE, Asia and Australia.Armed with that experience she now has her own website called ‘My Indian Dietitian‘ (www.myindiandietitian.com) where she handles diet consultations for Indians and South Asians(she also has clients of Bangladeshi, Nepali, Sri Lankan and Pakistani origin).

She also has a flare for writing nutrition related articles and has been regularly writing for magazines, websites, food/ nutrition product companies. Her tryst with articles began way back when she was a member of the editorial group of the Manipal Hospital magazine.

Indian Dietitian Online: Sweta Uchil-Purohit

Personally I feel that the internet is one of the greatest inventions. It has so many uses and has most of us hooked onto it for various reasons like keeping in touch with friends and family(thank you Facebook and emails), learning about something (thank you Google), and even getting personalized diet consultations at the click of a button!

No more searching for an Indian Dietitian who can understand Indian foods (can you imagine explaining about parathas, dhoklas, khichdi, curd rice to a non-Indian Dietitian?), driving in the traffic, waiting in the waiting room reading all those magazines to get a diet consultation! No way-we are so used to getting things done in an instant, that just the thought of all the steps required to meet a dietitian in person seems to be the main reason why people who need to see a dietitian, don’t do so.

That’s where online diet consultations come in (thank you technology)-that too in particular an ‘INDIAN Dietitian Online’ is like the answer to most peoples needs.

  3. You get a personalized diet chart keeping you in mind, along with your likes and dislikes,
  4. You just need to have an internet and telephone connection to speak to me without ever having to leave your house,
  5. and lastly, everything is kept confidential and since it’s all online there is no chance of bumping into your friend/neighbour and having to explain why you are seeing a dietitian.

The Daily (Nutrition) Dozen!

Category:Indian Dietitian Online,Nutrition Articles Tags : 

Ok-so no lectures on nutrition and the benefits of eating clean and getting plenty of physical activity and sleep in this article. We are going to cut to the chase and make a list of foods that you must INCLUDE in your day to day diet.

Make this your DAILY (NUTRITION) DOZEN check-list:

  1. Fruit- Aim at eating at least TWO different seasonal fruits everyday. It could be a mango and a guava or grapes and a banana-basically two fruits that are in season. Best way to add them to your diet is to eat them as a snack (say no to the chivdas/farsaans/chips).
  2. Green leafy vegetables-palak, methi, sabsige (dill-english; soa-hindi;shepu-marathi), lal saag(red amaranth), coriander (cilantro), etc. If making a sabzi is too tedious- just add it to your dal, roti (methi paratha/Palak paratha) or make a big batch of coriander chutney or palak chutney(How to make Palak Chutney) freeze it and use that in your meals or in your sandwiches.
  3. Other vegetables– again go for seasonal vegetables and make sure your eating at least twoper day.
  4. Salads– you could include one fruit, one vegetable and one leafy vegetable and make a crunchy salad if that makes things easy for you. Example- a mango, cucumber , tomato,onion and coriander salad tastes yummy and combines one from the first three into number 4!
  5. Whole grains– Try to switch to whole grains completely wherever possible. Whole wheat flour instead of maida; dhalia, brown rice or barley instead of white rice.
  6. Whole Pulse- at least one whole pulse (not dal) in the form of rajma, kabuli channa, double beans, peas, akkha masoor, green moong, akha urad, etc. You can even sprout them and add them to your salads or boil them and add them to your vegetables like cabbage with kabuli channa.
  7. Curd/Yogurt– loaded with calcium and probiotics, include this with your meals or make a raitha or smoothie with it.
  8. Protein with every meal- Proteins keep you full for a longer period so add this to every meal. Even if you are a vegetarian-make sure you include dal/pulse or curd, paneer, tofu or milk with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  9. Nuts: are full of healthy fats, minerals, fibre and protein. You need to eat just 5-6 numbers of nuts like almonds, walnuts,chestnuts, pecans, brazilnuts, cashew nuts, etc to get the benefits. Just be careful not to go overboard with this as they can be very addicting!
  10. Water:no doubt the best and by far the original “zero-calorie” thirst quencher! Aim for 8-12 glasses (weather depending) everyday.
  11. Oils: Cold pressed oils, ghee, butter (yes-it’s the switch to all things natural) can all be used but your total added fat/oil should not be more than 3 tsp per person per day!
  12. Exercise: of any physical activity for at least 1 hour per day is a must.It’s not nutrition-but without it the rest of the list will go down the drain. Think of it as important as brushing your teeth!
Aim to get at least 10 out of this every day(exercise is not optional though) and you can be sure that you are doing the right thing for your body.
