04What kind of diet helps with PCOS or PCOD?Services
A PCOS diet usually focuses on low-glycaemic Indian foods, adequate protein, fibre and regular meal timing to support weight and hormones. A dietitian personalises it to your reports and symptoms.
05What should I eat during pregnancy for proper nutrition?Services
A balanced pregnancy diet includes protein, iron, folate, calcium, and other essential nutrients to support the health of both mother and baby.
06How much does a dietitian consultation cost in Delhi?Cost & Booking
Fees vary with the dietitian's experience, your health goal, plan duration and follow-up support. At Dt. Shweta Nakra's clinic, pricing is shared transparently on call or WhatsApp before you begin.
07How do I book a dietitian appointment in Delhi?Cost & Booking
Choose a dietitian whose experience matches your goal, then book by call, WhatsApp or website form. For Dt. Shweta Nakra, call +91-9868443323 to confirm your slot.
08Is online diet consultation as effective as visiting a clinic?Cost & Booking
For most lifestyle goals, yes. Video or call consultations with regular follow-ups work well because plans rely on food habits, not physical examination. Clinical conditions still need your doctor's input.
09How do diet packages work, and which one should I choose?Cost & Booking
Packages typically include a personalised plan, follow-ups and plan revisions over weeks or months. Choose duration by your goal: short for guidance, longer for medical conditions or significant weight change.
10What should I share in my first diet consultation?Cost & Booking
Share your height, weight, daily routine, food preferences and any medical reports or medicines. These details help the dietitian create a safe, practical plan from the first session.
11How long does it take to lose weight with a diet plan?Process & Safety
Healthy weight loss is generally gradual, often around 0.5 to 1 kg per week, depending on age, metabolism, activity and consistency. No dietitian can guarantee a fixed result.
12Is it safe to lose weight fast with a crash diet?Process & Safety
No. Crash diets can cause weakness, muscle loss, hair fall and rebound weight gain. A balanced, calorie-appropriate plan with regular meals is safer and easier to sustain.
13Can I follow a diet plan with a busy job and irregular schedule?Process & Safety
Yes. Plans can be built around office hours, travel and tiffin meals using simple home food. Mention your routine during consultation so the plan stays practical.
14Can I eat roti, chaat and sweets while on a diet?Process & Safety
Usually yes, in portion-controlled amounts. Home-cooked roti, dal and sabzi form the base, while chaat or sweets can be planned occasionally without derailing progress.
15Is a diet plan safe if I have thyroid, BP or cholesterol issues?Process & Safety
Therapeutic diets can be safe when tailored to your reports and medicines. Share your medical history and consult your doctor, as dietary changes should complement, not replace, treatment.

21What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?How to Choose
A dietitian is qualified to give medical nutrition therapy for conditions like diabetes or PCOS, while "nutritionist" is often a broader term in India. Check qualifications before choosing.
22Should I choose a dietitian or a gym trainer for weight loss?How to Choose
A dietitian designs food plans based on your health and body needs; a trainer guides exercise. For lasting weight loss, combining both works best, especially with medical conditions or specific health goals.
23Is a personalised diet plan better than free diet charts from the internet?How to Choose
Yes, generally. Free charts ignore your reports, medicines, food preferences and routine. A personalised plan adjusts to these, which makes it safer and more realistic to follow.
24How do I choose the best dietitian in Delhi?How to Choose
Check verified qualifications, experience with your specific condition, personalised plans, follow-up support, transparent fees and genuine client feedback. Avoid anyone promising guaranteed results or selling mandatory supplements.
25Is a natural food-based diet better than supplements or meal replacements?How to Choose
For most people, food-based diets are more sustainable and nutritionally complete. Supplements may be needed for documented deficiencies, but should be advised by a qualified professional.
26Is Dt. Shweta Nakra a qualified and certified dietitian?Trust & Results
Yes. She is a certified dietitian with a diabetes management programme certification, and has received health care awards in 2017 and 2018.

Dt. Shweta Nakra has coached 5000+ clients across 15+ countries. Results vary with age, genetics, activity and how consistently the plan is followed.
28Will I get support after receiving my diet plan?Trust & Results
Yes. Clients receive support through call, chat and email, along with regular feedback sessions to review progress and adjust the plan when needed.
29Will I have to buy supplements or special products?Trust & Results
No. Plans focus on natural, locally available food from your own kitchen, with no pills and no compulsory supplements or products to buy.
30Will I regain weight after I stop the diet plan?Trust & Results
Weight regain is common after extreme diets. A plan built on balanced meals, portion awareness and habit change, with maintenance guidance, helps you keep results long term.
31How can I lose belly fat and inches without starving?Health Goals
Focus on balanced meals, adequate protein, fibre, portion control, hydration and daily activity. Spot reduction is not possible, but steady fat loss gradually reduces inches, including around the waist.
32What should I eat to reduce bloating, acidity and constipation?Health Goals
Regular meal timings, fibre-rich vegetables, adequate water, curd or buttermilk and fewer oily or processed foods often help. Persistent or severe symptoms need medical evaluation.
33I am underweight. What should I eat to gain weight healthily?Health Goals
Add calorie-dense, nutritious foods like nuts, nut butters, paneer, dairy, legumes, potatoes and healthy oils, with regular meals. A dietitian can personalise portions to avoid unhealthy fat gain.
34Why am I not losing weight even when I eat less?Health Goals
Common reasons include hidden calories, irregular meals, poor sleep, stress, low protein, thyroid or PCOS. A dietitian reviews your routine and reports to identify what is actually blocking progress.
35Which foods help with protein deficiency in women?Health Goals
Dals, paneer, curd, eggs, soy, chana, nuts and seeds are good protein sources. Fatigue or hair fall can have other causes, so confirm with tests before assuming deficiency.
36Can diet changes help improve prediabetes?Life Stages
Lifestyle changes, including a balanced Indian diet, weight management and regular activity, can improve blood sugar in prediabetes. Regular testing and your doctor's guidance remain essential.
37What should I eat in the first trimester of pregnancy?Life Stages
Prioritise folate-rich foods like leafy greens and legumes, plus protein, iron, calcium and hydration. Eat small frequent meals for nausea, and follow your gynaecologist's supplement advice.
38Can I lose weight after delivery while breastfeeding?Life Stages
Gradual weight loss is generally considered safer while breastfeeding, usually after consulting your doctor. Avoid crash diets, as milk supply and your energy need adequate nutrition.
39Can people above 40 or 50 still lose weight with diet changes?Life Stages
Yes. Metabolism slows with age, but a protein-adequate, portion-controlled plan with regular activity can still support healthy weight loss. Personalisation matters with BP, sugar or joint issues.
40Can I get a diet plan for fatty liver, cholesterol or uric acid?Life Stages
Yes, therapeutic diet plans for fatty liver, cholesterol or uric acid can be tailored using your reports. They support, not replace, medical care.
