FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is a flex plan?

It is a flexible meal plan stating “cooked vegetable”,“fruit”, “eggs”, “rice”, “roti” with the right quantities and flexible timing for the same ("On waking, 25 mins after") so you can eat what’s made at home and continue eating it at your flexible time. Please see the sample below:

2. Why are the plans a one-time investment?

All our plans focus on creating a lifestyle change and include foods available in your regular diet "roti, sabzi, rice, fruits, sandwiches, eggs, oats, poha, upma, etc." Hence, we believe that once you purchase the plan you can follow the plan for as long as you'll include the above in your daily life. Our clients have lost 10-12kg in a span of 6-8 months of following it 80%.

3. What is the difference between the 7 days weight loss menus and the flex plans?

The flex plan is a one pager stating “sabzi” while the menu is a 7 pager stating “Monday palak sabzi, Tuesday carrot sabzi.” Basic guidelines are provided in the menu in case certain vegetables and food items are not available for you.

4. How do I decide which plan is best for me?

There are two main considerations -

i. Do you want a flex plan or a menu?

The customized diet plans are ideal for any medical condition. If you have more than one medical condition, there is an additional cost associated with the same.

All plans will help you lose 2-3kg a month, on average. However, it may vary person to person. If the diet plan is combined with a workout routine, you’ll see inch-loss as well.

10. Is there a 3 month program?

We don’t have long-term programs as our plans include roti, sabzi, rice & fruits and can be followed upto a year. We believe in coaching you for a month instead of making our clients dependent on us for longer-term associations. If you wish to rejoin after a month, we will give you a discount.

We do not provide any discounts as all our plans are one time investments

12. Can I upgrade my plan after paying for another plan?

If you wish to upgrade your plan after you’ve received the first plan from me, you’ll have to pay the full price for the new plan.

13. I want to lose 5kg a month, will the plans help with the same?

All plans promote sustainable weight loss of 0.5kg a week. Any weight loss of more than 0.5kg a week is not sustainable and we don't believe in over-exerting or eating too few calories. It may negatively impact your hair, skin, energy levels & immunity. If the methods are unsustainable the results are unsustainable.

14. If I can't follow the plan, can I get a refund?

Once the plan is shared, we do not offer refunds. In the customized diet plan, we will work with you to understand your requirements and provide you with alternates, if required. If you require to change the plan completely, it'll be at an additional charge.
