“It’s been a year since I started my journey with SHARAN. I am so excited to share that I have lost 20 kgs and for a 56 year old newly minted grandmom, I have never felt better!

I joined SHARAN’s ‘Six Weeks to Health Gain and Weight Loss’ program, with a single point agenda – to lose weight! Luckily, I had no ailments or health issues. I had done some research on all the wonderful work Dr Nandita Shah was doing but for a foodie like me, to give up my favourite foods and dairy in the blink of an eye was a frightening thought. I vividly recall learning during the first SHARAN class of how animals were mistreated and was visibly shaken. That night, I loudly announced to my very surprised family that I had decided to turn vegan. That was my turning point! My family played a central role in this beautiful new journey of mine, always encouraging me in all my big and small victories.

Overnight, we turned to eating a whole food plant-based diet and our new addiction was the green smoothie. We also started enjoying our two hours of exercise – yoga, dance and walking. Our 16 hour intermittent fasts, thrice a week, helped melt the kilos away!

The guidance received from both Reyna Rupani and Rose Pinto has brought me this far. They nudged me ahead to be the best version of myself! As I write this, I am brimming with gratitude. I want to thank Dr Nandita Shah and everyone at SHARAN for this change. Thank you all for being a part of my life!” – Sunali Mehta
