Chennai based 29 year old Meghna Goyal, a new mom, shares how she managed to lose 25 kilos in six months!
“After delivering my baby, I was in a fix with my weight loss. I thought cutting calories was not an option as I had to feed the baby. So, weight loss seemed impossible. Believing in what I was told that breastfeeding would automatically lead to weight loss, I went with the flow for the first three months when I realized I had not dropped even one kg.
At this point, a friend suggested that I go on a vegan diet. I read about it extensively and watched videos related to breastfeeding and weight loss. I learnt that there was no correlation to how much milk we consume and how much milk we produce while lactating. I decided to switch to a vegan diet and started my journey on 4 March, 2019.
I consulted dietician Poonam Sharma and followed SHARAN’s guidelines of the whole food plant-based diet. Soon enough, I had no milk cravings, egg cravings, or sweet cravings. Instead, I started craving vegetables. Vegetables have become my best friends. Now, I am a pro at cooking tasty food without oil.
And here’s the best part of my journey – I lost 25 kgs in six months, without a day of starvation. My baby is healthy too!” – Meghna Goyal
