Eating for Two — The Right Way (pregnancy nutrition)
Pregnancy needs better food, not double the food — just about 300 extra calories a day in later months. Focus on iron, calcium, protein, and folate through dals, greens, milk, eggs, fruits, and nuts. We guide you on balanced Indian meals, the right supplements, and safe weight gain, so both you and your baby stay well-nourished.
Healing on a Plate (postnatal & breastfeeding diet)
After birth, good nutrition speeds recovery and supports milk supply. Nursing mothers need extra fluids, protein, and calcium, alongside traditional galactagogues like methi and garlic. We help you eat well to heal, feed, and keep your energy up through the demanding early weeks.
Food as Medicine (managing conditions through diet)
Diet is powerful in managing PCOS, gestational diabetes, thyroid issues, and anaemia. From low-glycaemic meals to iron-rich combinations, we offer practical, India-friendly plans that work with your kitchen and lifestyle — not against it.

FAQs
What foods should I avoid in pregnancy?
Raw or undercooked meat and eggs, unpasteurised dairy, high-mercury fish, excess caffeine, and papaya or pineapple in large amounts. When in doubt, ask us.
I’m vegetarian — can I get enough nutrition in pregnancy?
Absolutely. With the right mix of dals, dairy, nuts, soy, and greens plus iron, B12, and folic acid supplements – a vegetarian diet fully supports a healthy pregnancy.
How much weight should I gain during pregnancy?
Usually 10–12 kg, depending on your starting weight. We track it through your pregnancy and guide you if it’s too little or too much.
