Olivia Bhatia, a 28-year-old junior architect,...
Olivia Bhatia, a 28-year-old junior architect, had always been a 'stress-eater'. Long hours at her desk, takeout meals, and sugary snacks for energy had become her norm. Over two years, she gained 40 pounds and began experiencing constant fatigue, frequent heartburn, and irregular periods. Her primary care physician, concerned about pre-diabetic blood sugar levels and rising blood pressure, referred her to a registered dietitian. The dietitian, Dr. Sharma, didn't prescribe a restrictive diet but recommended a 'Balanced Diet Plate' approach, half the plate with non-starchy vegetables, a quarter with lean protein, and a quarter with whole grains. Olivia learned meal prepping, healthy snacking with nuts and fruit, and mindful eating. The treatment was an education, not a punishment. Six months later, Olivia has lost 18 pounds sustainably, her energy is stable, and her lab results are normal. Emotionally, she moved from shame and helplessness about her body to feeling empowered and in control, viewing food as nourishing fuel for her demanding career.
