New Year Resolution 2026: Healthy Weight Loss with Dietician Shreya Oza

 


The New Year is the perfect time to reset your health goals and commit to a sustainable weight loss journey. Every year, thousands of people make resolutions to lose weight, but only a few succeed. The reason? Unscientific diets, unrealistic expectations, and lack of professional guidance.

As a practicing dietitian, I believe weight loss should be healthy, practical, and long-term—not extreme or temporary.

Why Weight Loss Resolutions Fail

Most New Year resolutions fail because of:

  • Crash diets or starvation

  • Skipping meals

  • Over-exercising without nutrition support

  • Copy-paste diet plans from the internet

  • Lack of consistency and accountability

True weight loss is not about eating less—it’s about eating right.

Healthy Weight Loss: The Right Way

As Dietician Shreya Oza, I focus on:

  • Personalized diet plans based on age, lifestyle, medical history, and food preferences

  • Indian, vegetarian & balanced meals

  • Improving metabolism naturally

  • Hormone balance (PCOS, thyroid, insulin resistance)

  • Fat loss without weakness or nutrient deficiency

Weight loss should help you:

  • Feel energetic

  • Improve digestion

  • Balance hormones

  • Enhance skin and hair health

  • Maintain results permanently

New Year, New Habits: Simple Changes That Work

Start your New Year with small but powerful habits:

  • Begin your day with warm water and natural detox

  • Add protein to every meal

  • Control portion size, not food groups

  • Stay hydrated

  • Sleep 7–8 hours daily

  • Follow a dietitian-guided plan, not guesswork

Consistency beats perfection.

Weight Loss Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

Every body is different. Your diet should be too.

Whether you are:

  • Struggling with PCOS

  • Post-pregnancy weight

  • Thyroid imbalance

  • Stubborn belly fat

  • Slow metabolism

A customized diet plan is the key to results.

Start Your Weight Loss Journey This New Year

Make 2026 the year you choose health over shortcuts.

If you are serious about weight loss and want real, visible, and lasting results, professional guidance makes all the difference.

How to Control Thyroid Naturally – A Dietician’s Guide By Dt. Shreya Oza

 


Thyroid disorders are becoming increasingly common today, especially among women. As a dietician, I often meet patients who feel tired, experience sudden weight changes, hair fall, mood swings, or irregular periods—many of which are linked to thyroid imbalance.

The good news is that with the right diet, lifestyle changes, and consistency, thyroid levels can be managed effectively.


Understanding Thyroid

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. It produces hormones (T3 and T4) that control metabolism, energy levels, body weight, digestion, and even mental health.

The two most common thyroid conditions are:

  • Hypothyroidism – Low thyroid function

  • Hyperthyroidism – Overactive thyroid

Diet plays a major role in managing both conditions.


Role of Diet in Thyroid Control

1. Eat Iodine in the Right Amount

Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, but excess can worsen thyroid problems.

Best sources:

  • Iodized salt (use in moderation)

  • Dairy products

  • Coconut

  • Banana

Avoid unnecessary iodine supplements unless prescribed.


2. Include Selenium-Rich Foods

Selenium helps convert inactive thyroid hormone (T4) into active hormone (T3).

Dietary sources:

  • Brazil nuts (1–2 per day)

  • Sunflower seeds

  • Pumpkin seeds

  • Whole grains

  • Mushrooms


3. Focus on Protein Intake

Adequate protein supports metabolism and prevents muscle loss, especially in hypothyroidism.

Good protein options:

  • Moong dal, chana, rajma

  • Paneer, curd

  • Sprouts

  • Eggs (if non-vegetarian)


4. Control Goitrogenic Foods (Do Not Eliminate)

Certain foods can interfere with thyroid function if eaten raw in excess.

Examples:

  • Cabbage

  • Cauliflower

  • Broccoli

  • Soy

👉 Tip: Cooking reduces their negative effect, so they can be consumed safely in moderation.


5. Improve Gut Health

Poor digestion and constipation are common in thyroid disorders.

Include:

  • Probiotics (curd, buttermilk)

  • High-fiber foods (vegetables, fruits, seeds)

  • Warm water in the morning


Lifestyle Tips to Control Thyroid

✔ Eat meals on time
✔ Manage stress (yoga, meditation, deep breathing)
✔ Sleep 7–8 hours daily
✔ Exercise regularly (walking, yoga, strength training)
✔ Avoid crash dieting and extreme fasting


Foods to Avoid or Limit

  • Refined sugar

  • Excess tea/coffee

  • Junk and processed foods

  • Packaged snacks

  • Excess gluten (if sensitive)


Can Thyroid Be Controlled Naturally?

Yes, in many cases thyroid can be well-managed with:

  • Proper medical treatment

  • Personalized diet plan

  • Lifestyle correction

As a dietician, I strongly believe that food is medicine when used correctly.


Final Words from Dt. Shreya Oza

Every thyroid patient is different. Age, weight, hormonal health, PCOS, and lifestyle must be considered before planning a diet. Instead of following random online advice, choose a customized thyroid diet plan guided by a qualified dietician.

If you are struggling with thyroid imbalance, weight issues, or hormonal health, a structured nutrition approach can make a significant difference.

How to Control Diabetes Naturally with Diet Control By Dietician Shreya Oza

 


Diabetes is no longer just a lifestyle disease—it has become a household concern in India. The good news is that diabetes can be effectively controlled with the right diet, without extreme restrictions or confusion.

As a clinical dietician, I have helped many patients reduce their blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and even lower medication dependency through personalized diet control.


Why Diet Control Is the Key to Diabetes Management

Diabetes is directly linked to what, when, and how you eat. Medicines alone cannot manage blood sugar if your diet is unbalanced.

A proper diabetes diet helps:

  • Maintain stable blood sugar levels

  • Improve insulin response

  • Reduce cravings and fatigue

  • Prevent complications like nerve damage, kidney issues, and heart disease


Common Diet Mistakes Diabetic Patients Make

Many people unknowingly worsen diabetes by:

  • Skipping meals

  • Eating too much rice or wheat at once

  • Avoiding fruits completely

  • Following internet or WhatsApp diet plans

  • Consuming “sugar-free” products blindly

👉 Diabetes diet should be personalized, not copied.


What an Ideal Diabetes Diet Should Include

1️⃣ Balanced Carbohydrates (Not Zero Carbs)

  • Millets (jowar, bajra, ragi)

  • Brown rice (measured portion)

  • Oats and barley

2️⃣ Adequate Protein (Very Important)

  • Moong dal, chana, rajma

  • Paneer (low fat)

  • Curd and buttermilk

  • Nuts and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flaxseed)

3️⃣ Fiber-Rich Vegetables

  • Green leafy vegetables

  • Lauki, tori, karela, bhindi

  • Salad before meals to control sugar spikes

4️⃣ Healthy Fats (In Small Quantity)

  • Groundnut oil, mustard oil

  • Seeds instead of fried snacks


Meal Timing Matters as Much as Food

Irregular eating patterns can spike blood sugar even with healthy food.

✔ Fixed meal timings
✔ Small frequent meals
✔ No long gaps
✔ Early dinner

These small changes show big improvement in sugar readings.


Can Diabetes Be Controlled Without Medicines?

In early-stage diabetes and prediabetes, YES.

With:

  • Correct diet planning

  • Weight management

  • Lifestyle correction

Many patients see:

  • Reduced fasting & PP sugar

  • Improved HbA1c

  • Better energy levels

⚠️ Never stop medicines without professional guidance.


Why You Need a Dietician for Diabetes

Every diabetic patient is different:

  • Age

  • Weight

  • Sugar levels

  • Lifestyle

  • Work timings

  • PCOS or thyroid issues

That’s why customized diet plans work better than generic charts.
