Adilla Salman

(Entrepreneur, Chennai)

Ms. Shiny is a miracle-worker. I came to her as a last resort. I’ve tried all sorts of diets & cross training camps but nothing showed desired result. She was able to identify my PCOS problem & created a customized diet chart & personally monitored my diet progress through Whatsapp group by her & Team. I ended up losing 8kgs in span of 7 weeks’ time. It wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for her motivation. Meeting her was the best decisions I’ve ever made and can’t believe how much my life has changed, all for the better!

Alamelu

(Software Engineer, Bangalore)

Hi Shiny and Karpagam ma'am. I immensely thank you so much for working on me, curating a diet chart and helping me through the doubts / questions I had through this journey. Thank you so much. I know about my hard metabolism and losing a pound of weight was always such a mammoth task for me. I could drop my weight by 6.7kgs in 3 months by following your chart. My breast used to be very heavy during my periods, now there is no change during periods. My menstrual cramps have reduced, although it hasn't gone away as a magic. Sleep quality has improved. Thanks much. I deeply appreciate shiny ma'ams instagram sessions too. Thank you too

Arundhati

My wellness journey with Shiny was more like an intervention from my mother, who found out about her on Instagram.

I had hit rock bottom health wise due to stress eating and cooking during the lockdown period in 2020. My PCOS kicked in majorly. The severe weight gain during this time was a wakeup call for me to stop abusing my body.

A full blood work revealed a host of health issues besides the weight gain, like cholesterol, calcium and iron deficiency.

Right from day one, I took things seriously and never once wavered from the diet plan. Healthy, wholesome meals, long walks and yoga changed my mindset towards my body, helped me respect it more and take care of it.

With a disciplined approach and willpower, I was able to reduce 5 kg in four weeks and I could not have done it without the constant support and encouragement from Janani from Shiny's team. They ensured that I saw the plan through and motivated me throughout the journey.

ATIA AJAZ, Canada

Hello there!, here I am sharing my wonderful journey of transformation from 114Kgs (Oct 2016) to 94Kgs (June 2017) now. Insulin resistance, desk jobs, Zero work outs, irritable bowel syndrome and the stress of this and that, I had been immensely obese for a decade.

That is when My physiotherapist at SRMC Sports centre suggested Shiny Surendran(My most beautiful and efficient Nutritionist). With the help of LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) diet which she meticulously planned for me, I adapted to eating clean and dealt with my issues. Shiny ma’am you have been a constant support throughout these 6 to7 months, replying always to my silly doubts and absurd queries and guiding me completely step by step. I have no words to thank you enough.

A bad work out is the workout you missed today. That said, my pillar of strength, my coach and motivator, Mohammed Ajaz, my hubby love, trained me and also came along for every single workout at the gym and swim 6 days a week alternatively.

Bhavani Ravi

(Housewife, Chennai)

Consulting with Shiny has been a turning point in my life, I have learnt over the last 6 months that weight loss never happens even if you exercise vigorously but fail to diet. Especially when one is in the mid 40s (like me), it is more important to follow a systematic diet plan for sustained weight loss. But the very idea of dieting put me in severe stress. I used to have a severe anxiety around being hungry, and ate to avoid that. In the process, I am sure I loaded on more calories that were required, and also did not give my stomach a break.

For the most part, following Shiny's diet plan has been stress-free. In the beginning, she only replaced the usual food choices with other healthier choices. So at no point did I feel hungry or anxious. In a couple of months, I had lost 4 Kgs and feeling lighter. She pushed me towards the next step only when I felt ready for it. In every monthly review with her, she would not only review the diet, but also ask me how I felt, what are some of the emotions I went through. She included items that I liked in the diet, nothing was "completely off". I slowly learnt to enjoy my food rather than see it as a necessity.

Moving on to intermittent fasting and then to a once-in-a-while liquid diet was smooth and was done by my own choice. I never checked my weight in-between those reviews. Whenever I felt anxious whether the diet was working (and the anxiety was frequent during the first few months), I could message her and she would ask questions to understand why I was feeling anxious.

Till now, I have lost almost 12 kgs in about 5.5 months and am feeling healthy and happy. I still have a long way to go to reach my ideal weight, but I am confident that I can do it. Initially, exercise made my joints ache, but I have also started working on gaining flexibility and strength first and only recently moved on to more strenuous exercise.

Two things have helped me stay on this journey apart from my determination to succeed. One is that I would meticulously write down every single thing that I ate, everyday and with time included for this entire period, and highlight whenever I ate something that was not in the diet plan. Second is that I told all my friends and family that I am following a diet plan, and this would reinforce my decision every time I was tempted.

Every resolution can be followed better if there is an anchor. Shiny has been my anchor in this process. And I am very grateful to destiny for brining her to me!

Client

(Singapore)

I am very happy and satisfied with the entire three months food and lifestyle change journey with Shiny ma'am and Karpagam ma'am. I am sure I would not have achieved this much of an inch and weight loss even if I had tried dieting on my own. Previously I have never monitored how my body reacts to certain foods and that was my biggest learning from this whole process. The best thing that happened to me during this Covid period is choosing Shiny mam’s programme and yoga. More than weight loss, I am very happy that I reversed both my haemorrhoids and constipation problem solely through food and lifestyle change without the help of any doctors or medications. I should definitely mention that Karpagam ma'am was easy going and made me feel very comfortable to freely discuss any issues I had just like how I would talk to my sister. I am very grateful for her guidance and patience in helping me build a life with proper habits and a good routine.

Deepak Rajendran, aged 55 years , I travel most of the week and finds every other excuse not to exercise and had no control over his diet, touched 100 Kgs on the scale and did not know what to do until I listened to Shiny’s speech. That day changed my life and decided to consult Shiny. The mandatory blood tests prescribed by her showed that I was on borderline diabetes. 3 months of adjusting the diet i shed 10 Kgs in 3 months. He is now motivated to loose another 5 kgs in a couple of months

Deepika Vinoth Kumar

(Homemaker, Chennai)

Hi, I am Deepika from Chennai. Weight loss was a dream for me as I have always tried different methods for weight reduction which never served the purpose. That’s when I got to know about Ms. Shiny Surendran, preventive nutritionist through my friend’s mother

Believe me Shiny was just awesome and the way she consults is definitely motivating. I followed her tailor-made plan which helped me lose from my initial weight of 92 kgs to my current weight of 76 kgs and I am still on my way to achieve my 60’s. I also got my skin issues settled during the process of weight loss as a bonus. I had a skin infection on my nose for which I had been taking medication for past 10 years. Believe me I am out of all those skin issues. Ma’am and her assistants are so helpful at all times, that I am so confident about myself with their support. I would like to thank shiny ma’am for all wonders that had happen to me.

Deivana

(Housewife, Tirupur)

I’m Deivanai, mother of 2 kids and a home-maker. It has always been tough for me to lose weight as a woman who have gone through 3 surgeries.

The one and only person I trusted blindly and approached for a healthy living was Ms. Shiny Surendran. She is a person who knows what is best for an individual without compromising on the likes which is quite important while dieting. Her diet plan which she tailor made for me was so sustainable, that I was able to follow without any cravings considering my dislikes. Like a dream come true moment I have now lost around 11 kgs with good inch loss as well which wouldn’t have been possible without Shiny ma’am and Karpagam ma’am who was continuously monitoring me and helping me with all silly doubts I had.

For those ladies who think weight loss is not possible with kids around, it is not difficult with right person around like ma’am and her team

Dr HENRY ALFRED

(Medical student)

I am a doctor and I’m doing my post-graduation in Anaesthesia at Porur medical college. I have been diagnosed with seronegative spondyloarthrodesis type 1. I have been on multiple medications for arthritis during my postgraduate program. I used to feel hungry and I used to eat a lot and my weight used to go up to 104kgs, which I used to feel myself heavy and tired. I came to know about shiny ma'am through my physiotherapist Mr. Saravanan, and I started my first diet on May 1st. Since then I lost nearly 6 kgs and my weight was 95.6kgs . My blood investigations came back to normal, and I started my second diet on September 14th after reviewing with shiny ma'am. Now I lost nearly 3.5kgs and my current weight is 92.1 kgs. My Rheumatologist was very happy and reduced half of my medications and now I’m only on 1 tablet for arthritis which will also be stopped soon, after a month.

Thanks to Shiny ma'am and her team for giving a good diet and really it showed me good results within a short span of time. My aim is to lose some more weight and as a doctor I want to be a good role model for my patients.

Dr. Krishna Priya.,

(Bangalore)

Dear Shiny and Karpagam, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. It has been a wonderful journey working with you both. You helped me take baby steps into managing my health better with regards to nutrition, learn my cues, work on them and start healing. This involved a lot of unlearning, learning, re-learning which I sincerely believe could not have happened without your everyday support.

Today, I not only have better health from where I started but I also have the knowledge and tools about my own health and the confidence to be able to work on them. Thank you for being patient with me and receptive enough to understand what I was going through for these traits are increasingly becoming rare particularly in health care professionals. This has helped me immensely in building trust in the relationship which in turn has given me the desired results. What I loved most about you both is how genuine, thorough and professional you both are.

You both will definitely hold a special place in my heart for a long long time. Living with Fibromyalgia and IBS hasn't been easy at all but what you did has truly made a huge impact in my life for the better. For anyone in my circle who's looking to get some nutritional and diet help, you both would always be my go torecommendations. Best wishes always!

Dr. Neelam Naik

(Chattisgarh)

This is not a transformation story but an ongoing journey. Health is a lifestyle you choose and not something that can be achieved overnight. I am a doctor, we read a lot about nutrients and how they work, etc. but when it comes to applying it in our own life, we fail miserably. That’s why we need good nutritionists to help us and I’m really thankful to my favourite Mrs. Shiny Surendran and her team.

She is not someone who will just give you a diet plan but she will listen and understand your lifestyle, work pattern, food likings, family support and everything that might affect your food pattern. I was amazed how she manages those small details and also gives us the freedom to discuss if there is any issue with the plan. She makes sure we can do it with the resources available to us, especially as it was Covid time and I faced a lot of difficulty to arrange all the ingredients due to lockdown. She gave me many options which I could arrange locally.

And Ishwarya who was constantly with me, available anytime to solve my problems, giving me feedback on my food chart. Love you loads.

I am hypothyroid person and was having issues with my menstrual cycle and was eager to conceive. Their plan helped me regulate my cycles, improved my gut health, increased my energy levels, elevates my mood and so many things that I can’t write here. I conceived while on my 2nd month of the plan and I can’t express my happiness for everything they have given me.

I really enjoyed my new diet and even though I couldn’t follow it strictly during pregnancy, I tried to stick to the basics. Also, as Shiny ma’am always says, I took the help of a psychologist as I was lacking in motivation.

Can’t thank all of you enough but I promise to keep updating my journey.

Dr. Prasanna

(Radiologist, Chennai)

I have been overweight for the past 4-5 years. Tried a dietician plan 2 years back but with not much result. I was fed with up with my body. Then I came across Shiny’s diet clinic in Instagram page and got a consultation done. Ms.Pavithra was assigned to me at an initial stage for assessment. I had an audio consultation with a big list of questionnaires for the assessment which included my food habits, sweet cravings, my favourite foods, health / medical issues. I sent my body measurements according to their instructions. I was weighing 90 kgs at the start of the plan. I took a 3-month diet plan programme. Mrs. Karpagam was assigned to me. I was a given a complete plan for one month which included what I should eat from morning till night, what I should avoid, including meal and sleep timing. Both of them took so much care in my diet plan asking for photo updates of foods I eat for every meal, assess the food and amount I eat, kept stressing on foods to avoid.

After a month a complete assessment was made including my body measurements, weight and again a list of questionnaires. Then a plan for next month was issued. I didn’t believe what was happening to me. I gradually started to lose my weight. First month I lost 5 kgs, Next month 3 kgs and last month 3 more kgs. Now I am weighing just 79 kgs. Never been under 82 kgs for the past 4-5 years. They made it possible. All my friends, relatives, colleague everybody started telling me that I have lost weight. I am wearing my old shirts and pants which I kept aside because of my weight.

Thanks a ton, to my team Pavithra and karpagam man for providing me the correct inputs, assessing my every meal and motivating me. Both of them never failed to assist me, push me for healthy foods and when I skip sending the meal pictures, they will keep questioning me.

I want to appreciate two things with this plan and team. I had to travel to multiple places in the last 2 months and I had to eat hotel foods. I was worried that my diet plan with be disturbed and again I will start gaining weight. But they gave a separate diet plan for travel containing what are the foods we can have and avoid in hotels. It helped a lot and made me to be inside the weight loss plan.

Second thing is now I have completed my plan and now they have assessed me again. They are giving me a final plan for next year to maintain my weight and they have asked me to be under their assessment for 1 year. Initially I was worried after the plan that I can put back the weight I lost. But with this I am so grateful that I chose the perfect team to take care of weight issues.

My team, Pavithra and Karpagam mam have done a great job to make an impossible task possible.

After hearing my full medical history, she changed my food pattern and also gave me advice on my diet.

This changed my perception towards health. Following her diet, now i am free from fissures and in good health. I am grateful to Ms.Karpagam and Ms.Shiny Surenderan and I thank them from my bottom of the heart.

Dr. Sneha Dev.,

I just wanted to say a huge and sincere thanks to Nirosha and Karpagam. I had given up on my weight loss, healthy lifestyle and body. My sister Shriya was truly an inspiration to me.

When she'd do her lifestyle changes, I've always made fun of her and did my unhealthy ways.

There were so many fluctuations in my weight which was extremely stressful.

Hormones, hair and gut faced the brunt of the this.

After giving this a chance, loosing weight in my stubborn fat phase, learning how to portion my food, how to enjoy the process and stay patient, drinking more water (which I never imagined) and how it is totally possible to maintain this for life are some of the takeaways I have gained.

This has been very motivational and a positive experience for me. Thank you very much for your efforts, support, vigilance and kindness.

I'm really grateful for the both of you and these 3 months.

As a doctor, it is important that I stay healthy so that I can motivate and advocate this to my patients with lifestyle diseases.

I now have confidence in me and my body, a defined jaw line and neck, a weight number I never ever thought I'd reach, the healthiest lifestyle and weight loss plus a happier me.

Being an athlete, a proper diet  is so important for me. During my initial days I didn't have  proper knowledge about a good diet . After talking with Shiny mam and having  Ishwarya mam as my guide, I started my meal plan a month ago.At first I was a bit worried about the meal plan since I have to prepare everything on my own but the diet plan they gave me was so simple and easy to prepare. To my surprise within 2 weeks I got to see changes in my body , I felt energetic throughout the day and my performance was  getting better than my previous season.Moreover my recovery rate was also better than before. Thank you so much Shiny mam and Ishwarya mam for your guidance. Looking forward to working with you in future.

HEMANTH BYSANI, Chennai

I have tried several Diet plans in the past. But could not sustain them long as they were not practically possible to implement. I got Ms. Shiny's contact from my Wife's friend and met Shiny Mam in Apr 2017. I desperately wanted to reduce my weight and become more Active in life at that time. Shiny Mam's Diet is very practical and yet effective. Best part is that, her diet plans are designed by including the food we like. I also used to think that following High protein diet is not easy being Vegetarian. Shiny Mam gave various Veg options of Protein sources and I could follow Protein rich diet easily. Not just Diet, she also suggested a great place for workout Gravity Holistic Fitness. In the last 10 months, I lost about 14Kgs weight and 4inches of waist. More importantly I have become more active and feel good every day.

Karthika Suresh Kumar

(Software Engineer, Chennai)

Hi, I am Karthika, software engineer by profession working in multiple shifts. I am a woman with history of PCOD for past 3 years with complaints of weight gain upto 14 kgs in the recent times. Due to PCOD I started developing acne flares that used to bleed which shows how severe it was. I had consulted dermatologist Dr. Anuj Singh for the same and he referred me to Ms. Shiny Surendran and told weight loss and management of PCOD will only be the permanent solution.

I tried losing weight with exercise and gym for almost a year. Nothing worked. But after consulting with Ms. Shiny Surendran and strictly following her meal plan for 2 months, I was able to lose around 5 kgs of weight with my acne flares gone down completely. To follow her plan was easy and I was able to make healthy combinations with the foods available at home which was encouraged. It has been so much useful for my health and fitness on day to day basis that I found myself fresh and able to do all my daily chores effectively.

Then I was really inspired seeing my cousin Manoj’s weight loss journey and I asked him the secret. He put me through to Ms Shiny who just assessed my daily diet over the phone and found out the “culprits” . I followed Ms Shiny and Ms Karpagam diet plan and lo and I behold I shed the “obstinate weight” which I wanted to lose. Thanks to Shiny. I now follow a healthy diet and keep up the ideal weight.”.

KAVITHA RAJESH

(MOTHER OF SRIKAR,BADMINTON PLAYER)

My son, Srikar, who is super passionate about Badminton and trains and plays the game as well is a huge fan of Shiny. In fact , I am too. We were recommended very highly that we must visit her and take her advice by a very dear friend (very, very grateful, cricket coach Sriram Sridharan). At that time, Srikar was 14 years, and had been playing serious Badminton for a few years. He had started cramping and we didn’t have a clue why. At that time, we decided to seek Shiny’s help. And since then, she has been an integral part of Srikar’s training and fitness regime. We don’t live in the same city as her, yet she has always been available with her guidance and advice on phone, whatsapp and even on skype. What I really admire is her forthrightness and her ability to connect with Srikar so easily. And her earnestness and sincerity. She came to as a blessing and continues to remain as one in our lives. Srikar used to be a very fussy eater, with Shiny’s help, that has become much much better and he eats whatever Shiny recommends, without too much fuss! Now, he is 17, he is in regular touch with Shiny and is doing very well in his chosen profession as well.

He is currently ranked 7 in Karnataka under 19 boys singles and as of last year, ranked 20 in Karnataka men’s singles.

KRISHNAN PL

(Director, Technical - PCK -Buderus Specia Steels Pvt Ltd, Chennai)

I have had the pleasure to be introduced to Ms. Shiny Chandran in the month of February 2017. I was then 109Kgs, obese, couldn’t walk for long, had problems in my ankle, high BP and cholesterol, all controlled by medications. She gave the first diet plan that I started to follow rather religiously and lost 5kg in the first month. The subsequent meal plans ensured that I could feel myself getting lighter and based on her advice, I have started to walk around 4-5kms/pay in weekdays and 7-9kms over the weekend and consuming 5-6 litres of water a day. This transformed my lifestyle and in today’s review I was delighted to note that I am closing 89kgs. I am joining the gym thrice a week to strengthen my muscles from next month and getting younger by the day, stopped all medications as there was no need for it considering my current health condition and want to thank her for this wonderful help and kind support.

MEENA RADHAKRISHNAN

(Crafter,Quilter,Zentangle enthusiast)

When I met Ms. Shiny in April 2017, I was quite desperate. I was overweight, had bloating and digestive issues, lower-back disc problems and psoriasis on my palms. I needed to lose weight and all my previous attempts to do so were in vain. I was put on an anti-inflammatory diet plan, and the personalized diet that shiny came up with, her encouragement and suggestions have helped me immensely. My transformation in just four months is amazing. Not only have I knocked off a few kilos (and continue to do so) but I have lost in inches too! The biggest challenge was to make the changes to diet, for it involved giving up some of my favourite foods. But with patience and some effort, the results were to see. The most important thing for me, however, is not losing weight but understanding my body and how it reacts to the food that I eat. I have become acutely aware of how food affects my body and how it can heal itself, if we make right choices in our diet. As Ayurveda states, when your diet is wrong, even the strongest medicine is of no use. When your diet is correct, there is no need of medicine. Truly, food is medicine, -eaten in the right proportions at the right time, it helps the body heal itself. My energy levels are good. I feel happy and healthy and almost all the problems I had earlier have either been healed or reduced. I am thankful to Shiny and her team for everything.

Mr & Mrs. Raghavan

(Chennai)

I wish to record both on my behalf and that of my wife for such an amazing friendly and professional service / guidance by you and your team.

Both of us have been facing obesity for over 20 years. We have tried many fixes like natural therapy, met a couple of consultants in Chennai, Ayurvedic packs with little or very short-lived success. In your case what we loved is your sustained effort to knowledge transfer for a healthy and happy living. None of your efforts were ever business secrets. You made us conscious of right and wrong eating without ever objecting to anything we wanted to eat. You had patience with us for us to get it right. With your team’s help in last 10 months both of us have lost 20 kg plus and 12 kg plus with reduction in dress sizes from XXL to L. This was not in our dreams also. I will fail in my duty if I do not mention of your efforts to comfort and healthy eating in November 2020 when both of us were down with COVID. You went out of the way to arrange food supplies for us. 🙏🙏 Last but not the least I am personally touched by your honest business policy. It was very easy for you to continue consultancy and keep us billing but you have been honest to the core in saying knowledge transfer is complete and you are satisfied with our understanding and implementation of the same. You do not see any more value in dragging this process further. In today’s economic downturn such honesty is rare gem. We will need you in future for sure and we will keep coming on and off. I will be delighted to be used as a reference for any of your business promotions or contact references. With thanks a million.

Mr. Ajit Rakesh.,

(Bangalore)

I have been feeling great. Lot of changes in my body from the time I have started till today. Losing almost 14 -15 kilos in 3 months was tremendous, unimaginable and that too without hitting the gym. I feel lot more energetic, confident and active throughout the day. I see an overall improvement on my body in every aspect. My skin also has become bright and smooth without much wrinkles and acne. I had dark skin around my neck so even that is not there now. I don’t feel much cravings often after taking up the diet. Even if it’s there it is there it’s not much. After I took up this diet program, only then I knew the art of eating and what food gives us the right nutrients. So, this has worked wonders for me on a short duration.

Tried several diets on my own in the past but nothing lasted and nothing changed then I got to know about Shiny and her team, started my weight loss journey under their guidance and within 3 months I’ve lost around 16kgs. The diet was very easy to follow as it was well curated by asking YES and NOs of my food and completely understanding about my lifestyle. I was very comfortable with the plan and it helped me in reaching my goal. It has become a habit for me now. Thankful to Janani mam and Karpagam mam for clarifying my doubts and assisting me throughout this journey.

Mr. DHANANJAYA KUMAR.,

(Business, Chennai)

My weight is around 83.0 kgs when i visited Art Of Eating, Nutritionist - Ms.Shiny Surendran, from a reference of my friend, for my obesity reduction and Diabetic control. They first asked me to take a complete blood test and based on my abnormalities, they have prescribed a meal plan for the next 30 days, and every meal i have to send a what's app picture, before i take, for any corrections.

I took a 90 days package, and i could see a visible difference after the first 2 weeks itself, and totally after 90 days package, i lost around 10 kgs, and now i feel a lot of energetic and my flexibility in my body has improved, they have also recommended me some exercises, but i haven't done it, due to my hectic business schedule.

The best part of their program is, you will not feel too much hungry or tried, at any part of the Day.

Their regular what's app updates, and doubts clearing, and once the meal plan is prescribed, the diectician will explain you about the plan, and again clear your doubts, which we feel as the best part of the package.

After every 30 days review, again a basic level blood test, is done, and based on the abnormalities, again a revised meal plan will be sent for the next 30 days.

I'm 56 years old, and a strict vegetarian and frequent traveller. They have recommended my diet plan accordingly.

Overall it is a value for money, and i strongly recommend.

I wanted to consult with the nutritionist when I came to know about my high cholesterol level and borderline sugar, so I enrolled my session with Shiney mam, Pavitra from her team consulted with me regarding my health records, overall lifestyle and provided me the diet plan.

I dint feel drowsy post any of my meals, bad breath has reduced considerably, I felt light and energetic throughout the day. Post 2 months when I did my blood work, I was able to see the result, where my cholesterol level has come to high from very high and sugar level to normal.

Mr. G K Venkatasubramanian.,

I had the pleasure of meeting Shiny Surendran this August, though I have been in consultation with her and Karpagam for nutrition and weight loss counseling earlier in May 2023. Throughout my lifetime, I have tried many different ways to lose weight and have always failed. With Art of Eating's program I learned how to understand the food I eat and how my body works with this food.

Shiny and Karpagam did not restrict my eating habits but taught me which foods encourage a healthier lifestyle and healthier living. Art of Eating also showed me how to increase my exercise so that my body would work more efficiently towards my goal. To date, I am pleased to say that I have lost weight and continue to lose more.

Shiny is the utmost professional yet she has a touching compassion and dedication to her clients. I am thrilled to be able to say that I worked with her.

Mr. Karthik

(Banking Company,Chennai)

I pen down my gratitude for the Team-CHISEL's impeccable guidance and approach in meeting a herculean objective of achieving a weight decline requirement. I was always wondering the likelihood of achieving tangible results from a colossal 99kg to a more realistic number. Today am here to highlight the wonderful transformation to a whopping 82kgs on a 6 months scale, which would not have been possible without a collective team effort. Here goes my sincere thanks to the assigned mentor Ms Pavithra and timely interjections by Ms Karpagam. They have been always there to support morally, ethically, unequivocally. More notably they showed the direction and seeded inspiration as I walked through this weight reduction wellness journey. On the other hand, my wife was very supportive in ensuring to comply with the meal front and even ventured into making offbeat dishes using millets and Amaranth, fruits. My mother will always remind me before lunch specifically to click a photo which was the proof of the pudding to C team for me to convince and stay put on this path. Rare to say there was never a time I missed any feedback on those photos and was promptly reverted with accolades to improvements. Along with this got hooked to walking and occasional workout like cycling once a week further enabled and charged me to avoid distractions in the run up to the core objective. There is still opportunity to further improve in this journey and more importantly sustaining it with the maintenance chart provided by this team that I have embarked now. Thanks to this team and in particular Ms Shiny mam in building and driving this movement of holistic wellness 🙏🙏

Mr. Mohammad Shadab Anwar.,

Being fit and healthy was always my goal but I love my food too. In this process, I did not realise when I had put on fats and not muscles. I would not fit in my favourite shirt. I even faced few health issues like palpitation, back pain, etc. My uric acid level would shoot up and then I would get joint pain. It was high time. I came to know about ART of Eating clinic through one of my colleague. I was given certain diet plan and instructions to make a habit of walking. The diet plan was well adjusted with my choice of food too.

Special thanks to Rebecca and Karpagam for keeping in constant touch with me to check on my food habits, quantity of food, steps that I walked each day, etc.

In three months time I lost 10 kgs and feel lighter now. I can fit in my favourite clothes. Most importantly I have adopted a better food habit which will stay with me forever.

A good diet is very important for a professional athlete. I heard about Ms. Shiny from a family friend. Honestly, this course of 3 months has changed my outlook towards the importance of diet & nutrition in sports. I saw drastic changes in my strength and stamina levels and a faster recovery time . Under the guidance of Ms. Ishwarya and Ms. Karpagam, I was given a specialized diet for my body's requirements. I'm glad to associate with one of the best-known nutritionists and look forward to working again in the future.

Mr. Shravan Kumar.,

I enrolled for a 90 day program with the Art of Eating team under the leadership of Shiny Surendran ma'am. I was mentored well through knowledge and motivation by the duo of Ishwarya and Karpagam. I really needed help in understanding my nutritional needs and the balance of various essential supplements. There were visible regressions along the way I moved about and felt prior to commencing the program. Adding to a relatively sedentary work and inadequate awareness of food, this program was the best thing to happen to me.

At the first meeting, after the blood work, Ishwarya clearly explained the process. The pitfalls that are seen in my daily regime and the type of activities I needed to incorporate to change the numbers and start feeling good again. But this was not a simple checklist nor a list of things to do. lshwarya and Karpagam have been guiding on a daily basis, monitoring my food habits and daily routine, which helped motivate a great deal.

The 90 day program has given me good awareness. I am now at a great baseline upon which I will continue to build on the routine I have learnt. This truly is a lifestyle changing lesson. I thank the team fo the support and will collaborate with them in future for a different goal and next level progression. Wishing the team the very best and finally. Thanks so much Ishwarya, Karpagam and Shiny ma'am.

Mr. Venkateshan A.,

(Government Employee, Bangalore)

Lose bad cholesterol without tablets, ask me how!

When I went to Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore, for an Annual Medical Check-up on April 25, 2022, I was thrown out of gear by seeing some of the reports. Two years back, when I underwent the check up in the same hospital, my reports pointed out fatty liver grade-1 with not so normal cholesterol levels which had escalated to fatty liver grade-2 and shooting up of my cholesterol levels. My post prandial sugar level was much less than fasting sugar level. After seeing my report, the doctor had prescribed medicine for cholesterol and asked me to adopt to life style changes to tackle it. Somehow, I was not convinced in taking medicine which becomes an irretrievable process and did not go for it. When I shared this with my family, my daughter suggested me to consult Ms.Shiny Surendran, Chennai based Nutritionist, to see if my fatty liver and cholesterol levels could be brought down by her diet plan. Accordingly, I was asked to talk to her team mate, Ms.Pavithra Ravichandran on May 1, 2022 who sketched out a 40-days Diet Plan from May 2 to June 11. Initially, though I had apprehension how I would adopt to the plan, Ms. Pavithra guided me and reposed confidence in me throughout in implementing the diet plan strictly to its logical conclusion.

I was told that my April 25 blood glucose levels of post prandial more than fasting could have led to diabetics in the long run, which has been reversed in my June 12 results. Ms.Pavithra was also fully happy to see the outcome of the diet plan in containing my cholesterol levels. I am now on a support program to fully reverse fatty liver without consumption of any tablets which may take a few more months. Thanks to Ms. Shiny Surendran and Ms. Pavithra in my endeavour. Hope they have the right solution to serve many more persons.

On June 12, 2022, I was asked to undertake lab test to evaluate the results and mail it. I was happy and surprised by the outcome of the wonderful results which is:-

Mr.K.M. Suresh.,

When I enrolled for Oxfam Trialwalker (100 Kms) event (held from 24th to 26th November 2023) in August this year, I knew I had to put in lot of efforts to train for the same. Being a vegetarian, I wanted guidance on adequate protein and balanced nutrition intake in my diet to support the physical effort that I had to put in during the training and in the actual event.

I contacted Mrs Shiny Surendran for guidance and the senior nutritionist from the Art of Eating team, Mrs Karpagam was assigned to support me. The meal plans were set by Shiny and Karpagam to meet my protein / nutrition intake requirements. Karpagam followed up with me regularly on the progress. I completed 1OOkms Oxfam Trialwalker successfully in 29 hours 17 minutes.

I would like to thank Karpagam and Shiny for their expert advice and guidance on my diet plan for the last 3 months which helped to build my strength and stamina to put in the strenuous effort.

Mrs. Gomathy.,

(IT Engineer, Bangalore)

I never knew that the food we eat right is the best medicine we can give to ourselves. I would like to thank Ms. Shiny and Ms. Karpagam from the bottom of my heart for making me realize the same. My "health repair" journey :) (yes that is how I will call it), has been simply amazing as I travelled it with such wonderful people like Ms. Shiny and Ms. Karpagam. During this journey, many a times I have felt that they cared more for me than myself. They made this journey effortless for me with their constant motivation and follow up.

I started this journey as I had developed multiple deficiencies - Low on Haemoglobin (only 7), Vitamin D and B12, high on cholesterol and to add on was also diabetic. I had created a lot of fatigue due to continuous work and was not regular in exercise due to work load. There was a total imbalance in a lot of these vitals and also work-life where in I got into an urge of getting into depression.

I got Shiny's reference through my sister, who had taken her guidance for her weight loss journey. Shiny called me to understand my eating patterns and also the lifestyle I follow in terms of exercise, sleeping hours etc. She set a detailed customized meal plan, according to my eating patterns, including my likes & dislikes. The amazing fact about the meal plan was that the entire family can follow and not specific to a person...that was a life saver for me and helped me follow it with ease.

This journey has been amazing for the following reasons

• Food diary -helped me to assess my eating habit through a food diary. Every night when I log my entry to the diary and if something was not right it creates a guilt and it ensures that I am back on track the next day.
• Exercise regime - Can you believe. I was a person who kept saying "I don't have time" but can't sleep if I don't complete my 8000 to 10000 steps per day
• Mental health - I just came out of the fatigue I had developed over a period of time...the diet just hit the refresh button. I am feeling so energetic and positive every day.

In just one month my Haemoglobin levels went up to 10 pts and now at 12 pts (which is normal for woman). My diabetes is as low as it could be without any medication :).

I never knew that the food we eat right is the best medicine we can give to ourselves. I would like to thank Ms. Shiny and Ms. Karpagam from the bottom of my heart for making me realize the same. My "health repair" journey :) (yes that is how I will call it), has been simply amazing as ....

I am Sheeba, 36 years old and a mother of 2 kids. I visited a dermatology clinic in the year 2021, regarding pigmentation near my neck region. The dermatologist consulted me and gave a referral for a nutritionist opinion stating the problem to be a metabolic disorder. I consulted Shiny's Art of Eating in the month of October 2021. They did a brief assessment to understand my eating & lifestyle habits based on which I was prescribed with a plan which was completely customised to my needs and food preferences. After having followed their plans with reviews at intervals, my insulin both fasting and post prandial reduced considerably from 15.95 to 7.76 and from 299.52 to 81.92 respectively. Not only did my insulin levels dropped but, my overall energy improved considerably and the pigmentation is bare minimum currently. I would say the journey was easy with no additional efforts needed to prepare anything away from what is being prepared at home on regular basis. I am happy and satisfied with the results obtained.

With so much going on I was able to lose my basic weight. Karpagam is now more a friend to me than a coach. I was around 170lbs and now I am 150 lbs. There were several days I was cheating and just could not keep up. It is just me and my cravings. I am doing better than before. I am able to stick to my goals better. But I had myself accountable to her. It made a lot of difference and learning to eat clean. It takes time and I gave that time and she also let me give my time and allow myself to the new routine. I have learnt to drink more water and those days when I lack, I consciously know I need to step up. Now when I go to restaurant, I always have a salad and started relishing it. This itself is a big change for me. Indian foods have been the hardest for me so far. I am still learning to portion control. Thanks to Karpagam for the coaching me. Thanks, Shiny.

I was hesitant getting into this, as all my previous diets had been a disaster, with me practically starving myself and just not knowing the right way. However, my weight was becoming unmanageable and whatever I did at home wasn’t enough to control the weight gain.

Hence, I decided to take the plunge and it is been the best decision I have made this year in 2022.

The fact that this is a 3-month commitment with a gradual change in diet, made it seamless and easy. With constant supervision from Pavithra and Karpagam, I was motivated consistently and not a day went by where I was allowed to slack. Post 3 months, I am more aware of the choices I make with food, it is a habit now to choose the right food, I am genuinely more invested in my diet and I take it seriously every day. It’s brought about a lifestyle change. It is been a great journey and I am so glad I did it.

As an obese person throughout my life, I have tried various fad diets in desperation to lose weight, only to ruin the health. When you grow old you start understanding weight alone doesn't matter, your health matters the most. I have been following shiny mam, for a long time, but never had the audacity to commit. Finally, one day I owed myself my health and contacted Karpagam mam. Things did start changing after that. My back pain reduced drastically, my menstrual cycle fell in place, my inflammations have reduced, I did lose weight in this journey as well. I lost around 7-8kgs in 3 months. I love the way that the diet plan has become my lifestyle. Even after the program is over, I am still committed to the way I prepare my meal and what I put inside my body. So, it's a winning situation for me. My hearty thanks to Shiny mam and special thanks to Karpagam mam for being committed to me in my journey, monitoring my meal plates, giving suggestions and clarifying my doubts. Thanks a ton ❤️

My sister suggested me to consult a dietician so that they would help me to plan a proper diet and I was so lucky that I got to the best diet clinic, Art of eating LLP. I would like to thank Mrs Shiny Surendran and her team for their support and for creating a personalized meal plan. I am grateful to Mrs Ishwarya, nutritionist and Mrs Karpagam, senior nutritionist for their constant support and guidance through the journey.

Along with my regular exercise, I started reducing carbohydrates in my diet and also kept myself hydrated by drinking various fluids and followed the meal plan. This lifestyle change brought in a lot of positive changes in my physical and mental health too. I lost gradually but steadily and went down to 67kgs in 3 months. I think what worked is a combination of the meal and regular exercise.

It was not a miracle but my discipline and support from my dietician, cool nutritionists and friends that yielded results. I personally feel that hard work with true dedication is always rewarded.

Hi. I am A.S. Santhanalakshmi. Due to stress, I gained weight and I too was a victim of PCOS. Struggling for help lead to even more stress. Finally, I came to know that my childhood friend Ms.Karpagam is a nutritionist and she is one among Shiny Mam's team. It was a dream come true for me, to get associated with Shiny mam and her team. Thanks to Shiny Mam and her team for bringing a lifestyle change in my life.

To begin with the transformation journey, Ms.Ishwarya had a detailed conversation with me to know my lifestyle habits, food habits. After which, I was given a detailed meal plan by Shiny Mam. Initially I felt, it might be taxing on me. But the plan was customised according to my health needs and it was very easy to follow the plan. I started finding a difference in me by the end of first three weeks, which gave me a great motivation to strictly follow the meal plan. I should thank Ms.Ishwarya and Ms.Karpagam for clearing my doubts very patiently and they are great motivators, which is very much needed during this journey. Ms. Ishwarya and Ms.Karpagam were always there to help me out whenever I needed help.

I began my journey when I was 65kg. And by the end of third month, I am 58.5kg. I feel so light and it really feels good to see our transformation. All that we need is to holistically follow the plan suggested by Shiny Mam.

Hi my starting weight was around 79kgs and I am currently weighing 65kgs after 3 months of following the diet plan. I joined shiny mam’s diet program with several issues like ulcer, acid reflux, thyroid, bloating and what not. Initially I was worried that diet will make me starve but the best part is that the diet plans were very much the same that we have at home every day. The diet plans given are very much close to our cuisine and preferences. My dietician Pavithra did a great job. She keeps monitoring me every day on my meal plates and gives suggestions. Only because of that I was able to be on track. Each time after review they keep changing diet plans which actually helped losing further kilos. Great team work. Only because of their motivation and continuous monitoring I was able to lose weight. Also, I am feeling so much better now. No bloating, acid reflux. My thyroid levels have come down. Thanks to shiny mam & team.

What started off as a diet plan in the first week, became a lifestyle at the end of three months
This is my second time working with Shiny for my nutrition. As someone trying to get back to my running and fitness, I decided to get my food and nutrition in order. My initial assessment was done by Ishwarya who is very meticulous and helpful. The constant motivation from her and Karpagam helped me stay on track. They are always available to clear any doubts I had, giving me healthy alternatives for my sugar cravings. Mostly, they kept me accountable.

I got my workout routine in place and I started seeing improvements week after week. I am running faster, lifting heavier in the gym and sleeping better. The best part, clothes fit better on me. I did eat outside for a few times in the last 3 months, but I have learnt to make conscious good choices with food. Even if I indulge, it ends with that one meal and I am back on track with next.

The best thing about Shiny's nutrition plan is, it's nothing complicated or fancy. It's typical south Indian food which we have been eating for generations. I didn't have to buy fancy groceries, all I need to eat, are available in the local vegetable/grocery shop.

Now the real challenge is to stay on track with the progress that I've made so far. Looking forward to working with Shiny and team again.

We approoched Art of Eating (AOE) with a specific purpose. To get some help for our daughter, whose knee injury from sports restricted her physical activities. Orthopaedician advise was to focus on muscle strengthening through physic, plus any weight management possible via diet, without compromising nutrition needed for a growing teenager. Nirosha from AOE helped make significant achievement towards that objective in just 3 weeks.

After a very detailed discussion of dietary preferences, and baseline measurements, Nirosha suggested a plan which was also reviewed and fine tuned by sports nutritionist Shiny Surendran. Not only was the diet plan healthy, it provided tremendous flexibility through a variety of options with good taste and texture in addition to our daughter we parents enjoyed some of the innovative recipes. The approach helped avoid monotony and improve compliance.

The results showed visibly in the 30th day review: with our daughter beaming with a bright smile, answering 'did you like what you ate?' with a firm Yes!, and a few kgs lesser which helped reduce strain on her knees. We are very happy and thankful for the timely and impactful advice from the AOE team.

Ms. Sadhana Devi

I decided to lose my weight because I had my menstrual cycle messed up. My lifestyle was very poor. Before I decided to do this, I used to study late night and sleep only after 3.00 am. I know shiny mam through social media and decided to go for an online consultation. They asked me about my daily routine and foods that I don’t like. Then they gave me a meal plan and I started following that. Within a month I lost 4 kgs and my menstrual cycle became normal. I really enjoyed doing this because they gave me food varieties that I had never tried before. I became more active and I loved learning something new. If I had any doubts, I used to ask Karpagam mam and she clarified my doubts anytime. I have reduced from obese to normal weight. I am happy that I am able to wear anything without being uncomfortable. Consistency is the key. I am really grateful to Karpagam mam and Shiny mam.

First of all, a very big thanks to Shiny Ma'am who helped me to achieve my target by providing monthly diet plans. It was easy to follow as it was formed according to the food items that I have usually. I am 68kgs now from 81kgs. I not only reduced weight in kgs but also the size in inches. This was happened in a period of time with the guidance of Pavithra Ma'am and Karpagam Ma'am who motivated me to bring up to this level. I am feeling healthy now as I came to know what to eat and what not to eat. With the help of this diet plan, I had a big relief from stomach bloating. Also, I can able to see visible difference as my skin is looking shiny and my nails are growing longer than before. I am really happy now.☺️Thank you so much Ma'am.🙏

Ms.Lavanya.,

(IT Professional, Sydney)

As soon as we hear the word “Diet” things that come in mind are cutting down all tasty and favourite food, having very less portion of food, starving with boring salads with tasteless juice! All these myths were broken from day 1 of my diet plan. I enjoyed my diet without missing my favourite foods.

During diet I had tasty, healthy food and eventually my health improved, and weight loss happened. I was able to get all these good results within a month time. This journey with Shiny and her team thought me more than following the diet. I can understand how to maintain a healthy gut. The most appreciable thing regarding the diet is, it is not a short-term practice to achieve some goal. This diet plan is consistent, sustainable and I can follow throughout my life.

Thanks to Karpagam mam for clearing all my clarifications then and there. She gave so many healthy and good options as per my taste. So, I was able to cook it when I am at home, and I was able to choose wisely from restaurants when I was on my vacation. My diet plan was tailored as per my taste and I after starting to follow it I can see the magic happening in me.

I achieved weight loss, healthy gut and one thing I value the most is increase in my Stamina. Normally my energy level drops down after lunch break in office. When the time I reach home in evening after travelling by public transport all I need is some food and sleep. But now I can very evidentially see that I am always ready to go for evening walk followed by dinner preparation. I feel like the cartoon character Popeye after he eats spinach!

Thanks to Shiny madam, Karpagam madam and all the team members. I wish to acknowledge and appreciate their sincere service. No wonder that now my husband has joined this journey and he is also enjoying the health benefits due to the diet. We as a couple understand the basics of diet and value our connection with Shiny and Karpagam. I believe soon my husband will write you back about his experience.

I definitely recommend anyone of any age to consider connecting these great dieticians to gain knowledge on food, healthy gut and balanced diet.

Ms.Mrinal Iyer.,

Working with Shiny and Karpagam has been the equivalent of "looking for a penny and finding a pound." started with the intention of reducing fat (after a decade of failed attempts), but came out with many more successes, ranging from better a better understanding of the gut, enhanced athletic performance and more productivity at work. have been a hobbyist athlete for over a decade, running marathons, triathlons and more.

So, intensity was not something I lacked. Despite this, I had a peculiar problem of high body fat (30%) and a low BMI of 20 Karpagam correctly identified a mild gluten and dairy intolerance, brought many small and easy to follow diet changes and stabilized my calorie intake. She followed this up with intermittent fasts. The net gain was me being able to cut 6 inches off my belly with only a 1.5 kg drop in overall weight.

The body fat dropped substantially and got replaced with muscle. The whole diet plan was sustainable and with achievable modifications that didn't interfere much with overall lifestyle. Miraculously, any craving for fried, salty or sugary foods also went away. There is a lot of (often contradictory) information available for weight loss today and I am glad I met Karpagam who could advise and guide through something that actually works.

The experience has been life changing and my only regret is that I didn't know this earlier. I strongly recommend this to everyone, whether you're an athlete, a corporate worker or in something else. This will really help you !

Ms.Pavithra Natarajan.,

(Homemaker, Goa)

How true the saying there is "No gain without pain", when I commenced my diet regime with a determination and passion to make the weighing scale acceptable to me when I stood on it, I did not realise the torturous path ahead.

With a never said die spirit, I puffed, panted, pushed and poked to stay within the extremely narrow rigid boundaries set by the diet regime.

They were real task masters never even dreaming of a short pause & to step out from the described path.

Curse I did, scream I did and give up I almost did, but at the end of this roller coaster ride, I now stand fit as fiddle refreshed, energetic and a lot happier by making friends with my weighing scale.

Thank you very much for this taxing but yet a rewarding regime.

A special mention to Shiny, Karpagam and Ishwarya for the constant support, guidance and encouragement without whom, I would not have made healthy choices.

Results follow by:
Taking baby steps
Enjoying every meal
Having a positive mindset
Happy Dieting!

Muthulakshmi

( Research Scientist, US)

I owe my heartfelt thanks to Karpagam and Shiny for instilling a lifelong lifestyle change in me over the course of past 3 months. Throughout this period, I have reduced about 8 Kgs in body weight, feel very light/fit overall and went from huffing and puffing even for a 20 min walk in the hot sun to feeling refreshed even after a 2-hr mountain biking ride. This is the power of eating right and gaining the habit of feeling contented and taking ownership of the food we eat. I would not have gained this habit and feeling without great help from Karpagam and Shiny.

Even though weight reduction was not the original goal I went to Karpagam with, it came as a side bonus. I had my weakness in eating mainly due to stress and contacted Karpagam to help me with nutritional fitness. Overall I am very happy with the results and beyond glad that I acquired this new eating habit. Its been two weeks since I entered the maintenance phase, and I am surprised that I hardly reach out for sweets or carbs. My tummy is so happy and full with the healthy choices that Karpagam/Shiny gave me. I still have my spicy snacks weakness but I now eat consciously when compared to eating mindlessly before. There is a huge difference between feeling deprived of the things we want to eat and feeling content with what we eat. I never felt deprived throughout this whole process!

For anyone considering to give this a try, these are my 2 cents worth of advice. Do not overthink this - if you want to give a try, go for it. Believe me, you will not have any regrets after. Will there be anything wrong in choosing to eat right (pun!) - nothing really! You will not see the foods you eat with the same eye that you had before. Initial days will be a little hard, but Karpagam/Shiny duo will make sure you are motivated and give choices to ease you in to stay the course. I am so glad that I got in touch with Karpagam and Shiny, and so proud that I have done something to take care of myself to help the effort of taking care of my family!

I feel really good, confident, motivated, helped me set higher goals.

I wish to make a special mention about Muthu, I went to him to treat a tennis elbow. More than being a competent Physio he chose to be my mentor by putting me onto Shiny my nutritionist who helped me to get where I am today. Muthu's dialogue of " Have you seen yourself in the mirror, to call yourself a sports person", triggered the grit in me which had subdued couple of years ago due to my physique. His team of Sam and Yashoda are to good to be true.

The team headed by Shiny and Muthu helped me get where I am.

Pradeep

I had gained a lot of weight rapidly due to my sedentary lifestyle and bad food choices, which then led to type II Diabetes. I had managed to lose 10-15 kg a couple of times only to see it climb back again higher soon after. I didn't know how to plan a sustainable and balanced diet, as much of the information available out there was often contradicting each other and I also had a nagging doubt if I'm following the right choices. I was struggling to control my weight and diabetes. That's when my doctor strongly recommended consulting with Ms.Shiny's clinic.

Ms.Janani, the nutritionist, who was assigned to me, was very helpful and constantly monitored and motivated me. Ms.Janani was always super positive and was definitely the person who was most excited to see my progress. She resolved any and all doubts and clarifications promptly and kept me from straying off the course. They also helped me incorporate food items I liked into the diet plan while still maintaining its efficiency.

After blindly following the meal plans and guidance provided by them for three months, I've lost 21 kilos and my hip size has shrunk by 10 cm. More importantly, my glucose levels have come down significantly and are in excellent control. My doctor has reduced my medication and said if I maintain this, I wouldn't need any medicines at all in the near future.

Besides that, I have also started to feel light and more active. Other annoying conditions like heartburn, bloated feeling, and incessant burps have gone down to almost nothing. I also sleep better. Other than these short-term gains, I have also developed a new outlook on food and how it affects my body. I've begun to appreciate healthy food items I've been avoiding all my life and rediscovered things I had stopped consuming because I had classified them as 'boring'. To my surprise most if not all of them are more palatable than I thought. I believe these things will help me sustain a healthy, balanced lifestyle in the long term.My only regret is not getting in touch with them much earlier.

Priya Murali, Dallas

Dear Shiny and Karpagam,

This is Priya Murali, one of your many clients; I’m from Dallas, TX. I’ve been on my nutrition journey with you since Feb 2021.

I hope you and your families are doing well in these unsettling and unprecedented times.

At the end of every nutrition program, I’m sure you receive plenty of ‘thank you’ emails from your clients. Well, I’m no exception, and I wanted to take a moment to give you a big shoutout for being an amazing influence and for being trusted advisors in my fitness journey!

I’m a senior director at a healthcare corporation as well as a Bharatanatyam dancer, more of a choreographer these days, staging intercontinental dance fundraisers to benefit various charities. With my insanely busy lifestyle, I’ve barely been able to dedicate time towards my health but I took a sabbatical from work recently, and decided to take the plunge into self-care! If Covid doesn’t teach us

what’s important, then what will?!

In January 2021, I too made a NewYear’s resolution to eat better, and to lose weight. The cosmos must’ve heard my mind-voice this time around. I chanced upon my friend, Jeyashri(‘s Kitchen)’s post on IG, and I reached out to her for further details.

The nutrition plan that Shiny Surendran compiled for me was super practical, and in conjunction with my existing diet, which is predominantly South Indian/TamBrahm. I followed it quite strictly, and in parallel, also started my yoga sadhana with Ramya Siddamsetty. This is no cliche, but the combination of mindful eating and yoga was a game-changer!

About 16 lbs down and several lost inches later, I’m a much happier person, feeling on top of the world, and definitely feeling stronger, both physically and mentally. Holistically speaking, I feel like I’m in complete control! I no longer “diet”, but eat everything in moderation and I’m aware of how to balance it out when I’ve binged on something that I shouldn’t have. A special callout to Karpagam, who has been a great sounding board (and a punching bag at times!). I’ve referred a number of people to Karpagam, who only have good stories to share about her with me.

My only prayer now is that I stick to this lifestyle and remain consistent, come what may! The benefits that you reap from this investment are so huge, that I’m hopeful will motivate me (and many others) to make this, a lifetime choice!

’ll share pictures and post on IG in a few days, but wanted to be sure to send you this personal message. Shiny, I do hope one of these days, I can rope you in for an IG live for Bharatanatyam dancers and artists who will greatly benefit from your pearls on nutrition. “Yaam pettra inbam peruga ivvayagam”

Koti pranams and thank you both for the amazing work that you do - in a sphere that matters most to all of us, humans!

Be well and take care.

Warmly, Priya Murali

"Shiny has not only be a dietician who has helped me with food , she has helped me to be fit mentally and physically. She keeps a keen eye on fitness , vitamins and diet . I have been consulting her for the past one year and I am consulting her even now as I am pregnant . I am having a problem with eating during this time , the doctor had asked me to increase my protein intake. Not only did Shiny help me eat better but gave me plenty of options in order to choose from them. She made it simple and easy for me .

Can't thank her enough for always being there for me and guiding me at every step.”

Rangesh AB

I used to be fit, in the last year and a half. I lost the momentum and added a lot of weight, my weight reached the scary 3-figure mark. I got very worried and had to put together my own diet and workout regimen. I saw results in the first 2 to 3 weeks, post which things went downhill, basically nothing was going right with regards to my weight loss, despite killing myself in the gym and eating all healthy foods that I know off and learned from Google. Results were not coming through. This phase was actually making me lose confidence and I was beginning to stress eat. I was keen to understand where I was going wrong, I had exhausted all my accumulated wisdom. This is when I had met up with Shiny for directions. They say “God is in the details”! This adage applies to Shiny so perfectly.

Shiny spent enough time understanding my existing diet and workout regimen in greater detail and then she made some workable yet magical tweaks to my existing diet. The detailing was so awesome that she made me realise where I was going wrong and what was my existing regimen doing to my body.

The highlight about Shiny’s meal plan was she knew that i was not new working out and dieting, she didn’t ask me to buy some super food or some exotic fancy ingredient that isn’t easily available or sustainable. All of what she recommended was within our daily diet ecosystem, sustainable and are easily available at a store next door. I totally believed in her and went through with her belief and voila! Those extra kilos started to melt away like candle wax. You can belt yourself for 2 to 3 hours in the gym, if you are not eating right and resting well, nothing is going to work out for you. The results would be a distant mirage.

When I met Shiny in the month of Sept 2018 I was weighing a whopping 97 kgs. I was able to drop 14.5 kgs by Feb ’19, in a span of 6 months. Right now I weigh 82.5 kgs, and I’m well on my way to achieve my target weight in just a few weeks. Thank you Shiny for making me enjoy the journey of weight loss, making dieting fun & motivating and for imparting vital information & wisdom on nutrition.

Remya

"This is Remya. Am happy to share the transformation I was able to achieve with the diet suggested by Shiny Chandran.

The Before picture I have shared is as on January 2018. I was weighing 74 kgs. Due to stress and many other related factors my weight increased and reached this point in January last year. I met Mrs. Shiny in the month of March. After a detailed analysis of my routine and food habits, she suggested a modified diet. I had issues like irregular periods, small boils kind of on my chin, and total heaviness in the body. The modified diet contains no gluten, less diary, no carrots, beetroots, no biscuits, pastries. I can have one or two in a week. Not at all a tough diet to follow. I did follow it religiously for next two weeks. And to my surprise, I lost 2 to 3 cms on my whole body. Above all I was feeling so light. So good from inside too.

I followed the diet from then on and once I moved to Australia, I got a modified Australian diet from the same doctor and it worked too. The current picture is from Australia and am back in shape perfectly now. Thanks to Mrs. Shiny Chandran and Mrs. Karpagam for all the guidance throughout. ”

PCOS and work from home (due to this pandemic situation) made me to gain some additional weight in recent times. No matter what, all my efforts to reduce my weight was gone in vain due to my lifestyle and food habits. That is when my gynaecologist Dr.Kanimozhi suggested about Nutritionist Shiny so that I can follow a better lifestyle with commitment. Off course, I joined Shiny's family of being fit. I'm overwhelmed with the support given by Shiny and Rebecca. Thank you both.

Key points I was astonished about their support

1.   Effort they take to understand my lifestyle, likes, dislikes.
2.   Weekly catch up to understand what went good and bad.
3.   Researching for me to make me consistent.
4.   Giving me Revised meal plan as per my likes.
5.   Work out suggestions and ideas.

I followed my meal plan diligently and was involved in Yoga & Workout. With support of Rebecca and Shiny I was able to reduce 5kgs in 40 days. Right now, I'm 73kg and still continuing to my destiny of being fit.

"I was referred to Shiny Chandran - Consultant Sports Nutritionist at Hande Medical Centre, Nungambakkam by Dr. Muralidhar Rajagopalan, Senior Consultant Dermatologist, at Apollo hospital for a diet plan on weight loss with gluten free diet. I was diagnosed with psoriasis and was under treatment with Dr. Muralidhar Rajagopalan for the past one and a half years. From August 2018, I have been under diet control with the advice of Shiny Chandran due to which I have reduced my weight to about 10 kg within a short span of 3 months. Due to her great care and concern, I had a good experience to get rid of Psoriasis within 6 to 7 months of time with gluten free food. I was really worried initially when I was diagnosed with Psoriasis since it is a chronic and deadly disease of skin. Now I am free from the skin disease and felt that I got the best possible treatment and owe my life to the Doctors and Staff.

Special mention to staffs within the team at Hande Medical Centre who were very friendly and ensured a high quality care. Not to forget the help offered by Mrs. Karpagam – Dietician who constantly monitored and guided me throughout the treatment. Without her encouragement and motivation the recovery would not have been possible. I would like to express my special thanks to the Doctors for taking extra care that made me comfortable and satisfied with the care that I have received. ”

Weight loss is something that was suggested to me by my endocrinologist as I had goitre and was planning for the removal surgery. In addition, the ESR level was high and I was put on antibiotics. To reduce weight rapidly I was told to follow many types of diets like keto, intermittent fasting by many people but none of it worked out. Even if I lost few kilos, it started to bounce back. That is when my dermatologist Dr Renita referred Shiny and I got enrolled myself with the monthly programme. I also started watching her Instagram weekly sessions and it was like a reminder for me to stay on track and focus on healthy eating. I was 84 kg and came down to 79 kg through diet by eliminating certain foods which was found to be intolerant through elimination diet plan and from 79 kg I was advised by Shiny to focus on physical activity along with the diet. So, I started engaging myself with exercises and yoga. To my surprise my ESR levels dropped down along with weight and inch loss. My experience with Shiny’s team is not just a weight loss journey, it is an overall lifestyle change. I would like to thank Janani who guided me whenever I fell apart the track and Shiny ma’am for her constant care and support.

How do I describe Sridevi Ramesh’s journey, this pretty lady has a crazy work schedule .. late night shoots, running her own parlour, travels all around to upgrade her skills plus conducts classes for budding make up artists plus balancing demands at home. I was left wondering how she is going to manage healthy eating habits amidst this busy life she leads, trust she took me by surprise. Late night shoots – grilled meat, kebabs, homemade sundal, fresh fruits and nuts, recently she went to Madurai for 3 days: carried 3 pomegranates for each day. Everyday she would deseed n carry a box for snacking between her workshop, Meal replacement, meat, salads and eggs filled the rest of the day. While in Chennai, home made food was always carried to shooting spots or would request client to arrange for grilled food. What I loved about her was the commitment n consistency irrespective of work pressure, I respect you lady. Goal was to be healthy and have energy for her demanding work schedule. Nothing stopped her from shedding 10Kgs, reduced 9.5 cm around waist, 12 cm around abdomen, 11 cm in her lower body. You are work in progress and am excited about our next target.

My doctor suggested that I lose weight in order to recover completely. I live in Bangalore and connect through phone with Shiny, the online consults worked fine with her assistants offering all support working together as a team. My diet was changed from time to time and I reduced 14kgs weight over a period of 5months. I am back to my dancing days, attending other workshops/jathi classes supporting my dance needs. I got my energy and confidence back. Must admit, the energy levels were not dipping, in spite of my lethargic and unpredictable schedules. That’s what impressed me with Shiny’s diet plans. Even when I travelled to Singapore for a vacation, I managed to maintain weight. Proper planning helped me enjoy the vacation without the stress of gaining weight. I now have the knowledge of good food choices that suits my body without compromising on my nutrients and overall health. Thanks Shiny.

Srividhya is 44years old came with low energy levels, fatty lever, insulin resistance, muscle weakness, acidity, hypertension plus excess weight – the challenge was also that she was a pure vegetarian. Her daily intake was primarily wheat or oats porridge for breakfast, brown rice with sambar, kootu, rasam for lunch, idily, dosa for evening snack, Horlicks and wheat rava upma or brown rice for dinner. There were limitations on her workouts with constant aches and pains, aged parents at home, so fixed meal plan. In 5months, she shed 8.6Kgs, waist-8cms, abdomen-10cms, hip-7cms. The improvement in energy levels helped her start with 20mins brisk walk. The best part was when she visited Dr. Usha’s clinic and she shared her weight loss story with her colleagues, Srividhya was beaming as she narrated the experience. Good work Rachel Deepthi by offering assistance and clarifying her doubts from time to time.

I was obese, weighing 102 Kgs on 1 st of February, 2016. I felt weak, tired, non-energetic and had severe acidity.

I wanted to have a healthy lifestyle to lead a good quality life with my family and see my sons grow and succeed in their life. I wanted to look presentable and be confident, successful at my work.

I quit smoking but that didn’t help much. I took my company President’s advice, I found Ms. Shiny Chandran who was closer to my office. She analyzed my lifestyle, my food habits and routines, then gave me a simple diet to follow which I did religiously. Eventually, it started showing results. I weight came down to 77.4Kgs. I regained my confidence, I became presentable and doing well at my work.

I became very active, never lazy. The diet given by Mrs. Shiny is so interesting that the craving for other food is gone completely and the diet has become my normal food. I had to change my entire wardrobe. My waist from 42 became 34, Shirts size reduced to 40 from 44 and 46 based on the brands. I play Shuttle badminton 1.30 to 2.00 hrs every day. I learned to say no to the tongue. I make a standard meal plan and strictly follow it. When Mrs. Shiny Chandran knew that I travel, she and their team made a plan based on the foods available in those countries. Example: In Lebanon, we can have Hummus etc. She is very knowledgeable, realistic and helping her clients to follow her diets charts with ease. I call her Lady Magician.

“I was around 100Kgs when I met Shiny in 2013. Her diet was very easy to follow because she asks for the favorite dishes, pick the best out of it and includes in the meal plan. I shed weight with Shiny’s diet plus workouts designed my fitness trainer Mr.Aridas. By the end of 2014, I was down to 84Kgs. Then due to certain circumstances I couldn’t follow diet or workout for 2 years. Because of which I regained the weight and was back to 100kgs. I kick started the diet with Shiny in early 2017 alongside Aridas’ workout and now I am down to 79Kgs. I will say consistency is the key here. Follow a healthy sensible eating plan and do work out and you will definitely see good results”.

VARSHA SUNDARARAJAN

(Avid Quilter and Chanting teacher)

About me - At a recent dining event, my banana leaf was the centre of attention. After a meal with 6 veggies, rice, paruppu, sambhar, rasam, thogayal, 2 sweets, 2 thayir pachadis, vadai and payasam - my leaf was empty and i had tasted everything and i was walking around as light as a feather. Hard to choose what to eat when there are so many options. I chose all veggies, vadai, payasam and thayiru. I skipped sambhar and rasam (because i eat them at home all the time). I had a little of everything by restricting the amount of serving even as i was being served. So no wastage.

About Shiny - When she first asked me to leave rice and wheat it was hard and yet she supported me and encouraged me to persist with my efforts. Over time, i have begun to love the different tastes of the veggies and in weddings and events i decide beforehand what i want to focus on, and I stick to that. I have eaten an average of 1 wedding meal every week and yet i have maintained my reduced weight.

Thanks to her - I have learnt to eat nutrition dense foods even in parties/ weddings/ events and I now know that it is possible to eat smart and stay healthy and light. I am human and i do indulge once in a while. But i am able to quickly get back on track only because i now know eating is a total mind game. Of course i still have to fight temptation but i dont succumb very easily anymore. It certainly helps that non-nutritious food simply doesn't enter the house.

I heard about Shiny from a colleague as we were discussing how important the right food was for young children in sports. My daughter was a young swimmer when I took her to Shiny. At that time, she was a 11-year old that loved the water but was struggling with stomach aches and severe fatigue.

At our appointment, Shiny picked up the conversation with my daughter and got to fully understand her likes and dislikes. She quickly diagnosed her as lactose and gluten intolerant even without any blood tests and switched her off these food items, while recommending generous portions of other foods that my daughter loved. While I was in complete denial of her judgment because my daughter loved rotis and milk, Shiny was still able to strongly influence her by beautifully simplifying the food choices and motivating her to look up to other gluten and lactose free Olympians. In less than a month of following the generic diet outlay recommended by Shiny, I watched my daughter transform into a competitor, rapidly reducing her times, and challenging others in all sports. Her academic performance also improved. Shiny was constantly in touch with us to recommend the right foods for various day to day issues for quite a few months after our initial visit - always telling us about the right recovery and energy foods without recommending sports supplements at that age.

I have no hesitation in recommending Shiny to any sports parent who would like their child to perform well and be happy.

I was a chubby little boy who was immensely talented with my skill but had no idea about what to eat and the importance of a good lifestyle. It all changed when I met the eversmiling and dynamic Shiny. A lot of credit to my success goes to Shiny for showing me how to eat smartly and still keep my tastebuds happy. She's not only an unbelievable professional but also a kind and caring human being! Thanks Shiny, continue touching people's lives, god bless you!

"I wish to share my real-life experience after I met Mrs. Shiny Chandran, through my ortho, in Sept 2018. For the first 15 days she gave me a diet of half a cup rice, later quinoa, along with good amount of veggies, for lunch, breakfast with whey protein along with pears or green apple. In-between consisted of green tea with walnuts, coffee, orange fruit with pista and dinner with either soup or veggies again. Later I was told to be off rice from October and strictly I follow this diet and it has been working wonders folks. You have to motivate yourself to not only follow the strict diet regime, but also go for walks at least for half an hour every day. Believe me it worked wonders for me, it will be for you too. At the beginning I weighed 70 now I have come to 61kgs within 3 three months and still maintain and trying to reduce more now to bring it to 58kgs. Where there is a will there is a way my friends. Shiny Chandran madam is really awesome. ”

I was struggling with my weight loss journey and had an imbalanced starving diet which as a result I became anaemic. When I included shiny mam in my weight loss journey, she gave me a healthy diet that enhanced my skin, body and my mental health. My weight stood still where I didn't gain more than 65 or I couldn't reduce it. By the diet I lost about 3kg. This happened in just 40 days and also, I'm no more anaemic. A special thanks to Rebecca mam who recommended me many alternative exercises and clarified my doubts patiently.

When I went to Shiny my body was in awful condition – overweight, constipation, heartburn, paunch, bloating, constant burps etc. But her strict diet regime completely changed my body mechanism and today I feel proud to look at myself in the mirror. I went to Shiny at 81Kgs and now I am 71Kgs in 3months. Nothing is impossible. You just need right attitude. Thanks, Shiny.

I did not believe in dieting until I joined this diet plan. Karpagam my dietician made it comfortable by helping me to eat my regular vegetarian south Indian diet and I did not have to compromise eating white rice, that motivated me to take up the challenge to not only lose lot of weight but stay fit and energetic. By observing my results, my teenager who wanted to gain weight and make her acne disappear joined the program as well, Karpagam handled both challenges very well and helped achieve our goals. Thank you!

A long-term struggle of weight loss took a turn with Shiny’s team’s guidance and meal plans. It is not enough to just put in hard work, but important to understand your body and how it reacts to your daily routine such as food habits and lifestyle. A lot of my queries about weight loss and healthy living were clarified lucidly by Mrs Karpagam who has been my coach / mentor / guide throughout my journey is discovering how to inculcate healthy eating habits in my lifestyle. Thank you, Mrs Karpagam, for having been very supportive and understanding of any hurdles in my journey and it was that support that enabled me to succeed. My healthy eating will continue.
Thank you!
