After giving birth to her boys her world did a 360˚ turn. The post pregnancy period took a toll on her health leaving her feeling tired and listless. On finding herself in a helpless situation she decided to take things into her own hands and started working out, without any guidance, but saw no change. “It was then that I realized the importance of following a healthy diet while working out, if I wanted to see a change in my health”, says and enlightened Usha.
She signed up with Healthifyme and was able to correct her diet by controlling portions, eating healthier, thus helping her overcome the junk food cravings.

Dolon Chakraboroty
Being overweight, working out and still not seeing results left Dolon Chakraboroty disheartened. While on the lookout for someone to help her she came across the HealthifyMe app. Her coaches walked her through the routines she had to follow to reduce her fat percentage. More importantly Dolon’s nutritionist rid her of the misconception that eating non veg would make her fat.
Smaller meals at frequent intervals were assigned to Dolon to ensure that the fat gets burnt, instead of the muscles. The in-app features helped her a great deal when it came to pre planning meals. The calorie tracker made it easier for Dolon to eat healthy every single time. As a result of which Dolon is now two sizes smaller.
Dr. Arush Arora
Sitting for long hours and studying while munching on biscuits and sipping on sugary drinks resulted in Dr. Arush Arora’s sudden weight gain. Being a doctor he was aware of the health problems that were to come if he didn’t do anything about his weight.
While on the lookout his friends suggested he try the HealthifyMe app and use it in a preventive manner. While he had the required knowledge on food types he needed something to help him track calories and that is exactly what the app helped him with. In order to maintain his calorie intake at the required level he completely cut down on junk food, ‘white’ food and random snacking.
He devised his own diet which attributed to 80% of his weight loss and continued with his occasional walks while increasing his overall mobility. “HealthifyMe pointed me in the right direction”, says a very pleased Dr. Arush.
Narasimha Vedala
Narasimha Vedala vouches for the fact that sitting in front of the computer for long hours can play havoc with one’s health. He managed to keep his BMI in check till before he got married. “I can hold my wife’s exotic cooking responsible for my weight gain,” laughs Narasimha.
He slowly started experiencing health problems linked to obesity like snoring and high blood pressure. That’s when he made up his mind, his will power combined with the app’s features helped him kick start his weight loss journey. A few changes were made to his existing diet plan as a part of which he was also asked to refrain from all the extra helpings of fried fish and other rich foods.
His fitness coach combined his running with some core strength training, thus accelerating his weight loss.
Shailesh Lathia
Shailesh Lathia knew it was time to take some action and lose those extra pounds, when he saw his brother undergo a bariatric surgery. That’s when he started out on his own and went on a crash diet, but was disheartened when he didn’t see major changes. While reading up about diets he came across HealthifyMe and on joining the app, his nutritionist explained to him the side effects of going on crash diets and how he would gain back all the lost weight once he went off the diet.
The primary reason for his weight gain was the lack of physical activity coupled with binge eating. “I would get exhausted too fast too soon, working out has raised my energy levels”, says Shailesh. A well balanced diet along with a diverse workout plan helped him drop 14.3 kg in just 2.5 months.
Prashant Sharma
For Prashant Sharma, weight was never a concern while in college. A sedentary corporate life and poor eating habits led to a steady increase in his weight. His aversion to hospitals and the health problems that tagged along with obesity was the trigger when he touched the 90 kg mark.
