We all need a bit of motivation to change things up. And, when designer JJ Valaya posted on Facebook about his daughter, Hoorvi’s journey from “large to lovely,” we couldn’t help but feel inspired. 

The 19-year-old has dropped 42 kgs. “Dieting isn’t equal to starving — a myth most of us believe. Nutritionist Tripti Tandon helped me reach my goal. One needs an expert who becomes a friend, and keeps you motivated,” she says. 

"A healthy diet is key to glowing skin and strong hair. To nourish your skin and hair from the inside out, focus on foods rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C, found in citrus fruits, berries, and leafy greens, helps boost collagen production and protect the skin. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish like salmon and seeds like flax, keep your skin hydrated and promote hair growth. Biotin, from eggs, nuts, and avocados, supports healthy hair growth, while zinc in pumpkin seeds and legumes aids in skin healing. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, and include antioxidant-rich foods like berries and green tea to combat aging. A balanced diet with these nutrients can transform your skin and hair health, helping you look and feel your best." – I Eat Right  - Clinical & Lifestyle Nutritionist Tripti Tandon 

Losing 44 kgs has been a life-changing experience for me, and I couldn’t have done it without the right guidance and mindset shift. My journey started with small, manageable changes to my daily routine. I focused on incorporating healthier food choices—balancing all kinds of food in moderation, without depriving myself. I learned the importance of mindful eating and choosing whole, fresh ingredients, which helped me feel fuller and more satisfied. Regular walking became my go-to exercise, and I made sure to stay active throughout the day, even if it was just a short walk after meals. What truly helped me succeed was the continuous support and motivation from Tripti Tandon. She provided me with personalized advice, making sure I stayed on track and never felt overwhelmed. This transformation wasn’t just about losing weight; it was about developing a healthier, sustainable lifestyle. I feel more confident, energetic, and empowered, and I’ve realized that with patience, consistency, and the right guidance, anything is possible! 

To lose weight fast and keep it off for good, focus on a balanced approach that combines healthy eating, regular exercise, and mindful habits. Start by setting realistic goals and eating whole, nutrient-dense foods like lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Incorporate both strength training and cardio into your routine for faster fat loss and increased metabolism. Stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and practice portion control to prevent overeating. Avoid emotional eating by finding healthy stress-relief methods, and most importantly, stay consistent. Sustainable weight loss is about creating lasting habits that support your health, not quick fixes or drastic diets. With patience and commitment, you can achieve lasting results and maintain a healthy weight for life.
