Raheela Hasan Gazi was inclined towards fitness and healthy lifestyle right from childhood. “My mother always encouraged us to eat healthy and gave us nutritional values in different forms of food,” says Raheela who did her B.Sc in Food Nutrition and Dietetics, SNDT Mumbai and MBA in Health Care Services.

While pursuing education, Raheela realised that while most of the people desire to lead a healthy lifestyle, they are unable to do so either due to lack of knowledge or paucity of time.

She founded ‘Fitrition-Nutrition for Life’ (meaning Fit+Nutrition) in 2013 in Mumbai with an aim to make weight loss and lifestyle management easy, engaging and accessible to all. Further, to solve the problem of paucity of time, ‘Fitrition-Nutrition for Life’ also offers online weight loss and lifestyle management programme. “Online consultation is as effective as face-to-face consultation when it comes to positive results,” says Raheela.

How it works

The clients are first requested to create their ‘Health Account’ and fill up the nutrition analysis data form. “This form tells us everything that we need to know about a person’s health through various sections like Personal Information, Health History, Nutritional Analysis and Medical History,” says Raheela.

After carefully studying an individual’s health account, a diet plan for 7 days is prepared in accordance with their eating habits, medical complaints and lifestyle. After seven days, the client is requested to either visit her personally or mail the weight to see the effect of the 7-day diet. “Based on the result, the next diet plan for 7 days is suggested. “A weekly monitor not only helps us to understand how the plan is working but also motivates the client to achieve the given target weight loss in a particular period of time. A maintenance diet plan is given when the client successfully completes the programme to help maintain the weight lost,” says Raheela.

“Our weight loss programmes are unique as these are personalized with no starvation, no fad and crash diets, no medicines and no strenuous exercises,” she adds. The programmes are based on healthy eating plans and optimum nutritional intake without the use of any artificial fat burner, pills, tonics or any other shortcuts. “At Fitrition, we follow the natural body cycle of losing weight. Steps are taken on the fact that food has the power to heal,” asserts Raheela.
