This journey has left many people wondering if this is a healthy way to lose weight. According to consultant nutritionist Rupali Dutta, if a person has managed to lose weight without resorting to crash dieting, there is no harm in his approach. “If she has achieved her health goals and done so without crash dieting while enjoying her food, then that’s great,” she said. It’s the only way he can keep it up. Also as nutritionists, we encourage patients to stick as close to their normal lifestyle as possible. At the end of the day, you have to work on a system within that.”

Nutritionist Rupali Dutta also raised concerns about the man’s protein intake, calling it “not a good idea” for the long term. He further said, “Regarding this matter, the amount of protein consumption is not a good idea in the long run. Besides, if it took her a year and a half to lose that much weight, she obviously hasn’t been crash-dieting.”
Talking about targeted weight loss and healthy lifestyle, Rupali Dutta shared, “As nutritionists, we target weight loss of 500 grams to 1 kg per week. Counting calories is only a small part of the whole process. The main thing is to teach the person to eat better, adopt better habits and do it in a way that can be followed throughout life. If you start gaining weight and then return to your old habits, it will all come back. “We never recommend crash dieting.”
