Alia Bhatt's nutritionist guarantees this weight loss diet plan is the only one that always works

Time of India10 hours ago

Losing weight often feels confusing with the endless stream of diets and trends flooding the internet. From high-fat meals to juice cleanses, it can be hard to know what actually works. Dr. Siddhant Bhargava, a well-known celebrity nutritionist who has guided stars like Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, and Sara Ali Khan, has clarified that the most effective way to lose weight is not through trendy diets but by creating a
calorie deficit
.
As explained by him in a YouTube Short, whether one chooses to reduce food intake or increase physical activity, the common factor that ensures weight loss is the body consuming fewer calories than it uses.
Calorie Deficit: Simple Science Behind Weight Loss
Dr. Bhargava, who co-founded the health-focused meal service app Food Darzee and is also a qualified medical doctor, emphasized that weight loss fundamentally depends on maintaining a calorie deficit. He explained that no matter which diet someone chooses — whether it is high-fat, low-carb, or intermittent fasting — it will only lead to weight loss if it creates a situation where the body is burning more calories than it is consuming.

In his words, the body starts using stored fat for energy when there aren't enough calories from food to meet its energy demands. This results in gradual weight loss. Bhargava stressed that understanding this core principle is more important than chasing temporary or extreme diet fads.
No 'Magic' Diet—Only the Right Approach
He further added that many people wrongly believe there is a single 'best' or magical diet plan that works for everyone. However, he highlighted that
sustainable weight loss
doesn't come from copying celebrity routines or following every new diet trend on the internet. Instead, people should adopt a diet that fits their lifestyle and helps them stay in a calorie deficit consistently.
Bhargava also pointed out that a deficit can be achieved in more than one way. Some people may prefer eating less, while others may focus more on exercising to burn extra calories. Either approach is valid as long as the overall goal — creating that deficit — is being met.
With years of experience in treating clients, Dr. Bhargava has built a reputation in the health and wellness space. His advice comes not only from medical training but also from working directly with people aiming for fitness goals, including Bollywood celebrities.

Personal tragedy moves city man to help job aspirants train the ‘right' way

1 2 Bhubaneswar: Losing his 22-year-old son in 2007 during a physical endurance test for a govt job made Gopinath Sethi vow to help aspirants prepare for the tests in the right way. Now 71, Sethi continues to help youths train before they appear for a physical endurance or efficiency test required in military, paramilitary, police and other govt jobs. Every morning, Sethi travels from his house at Dumuduma here to Nicco Park to train several youths for free. He teaches them techniques for running and controlling their breath. Job aspirants fondly call him 'Gopi Sir'. Earlier, Sethi used to even run with the aspirants. "I was a marathoner in my youth. I won many awards and prize money for winning and participating in marathons in Odisha and outside. I ran 10km, 15km, and 20km events. At 34, some youths practising for CRPF and police jobs joined me while I was running. From then, youths started running with me," said Sethi. He said his son Goutam, then 22, was preparing for a Group-D job in the railways, which required a physical efficiency test. "For that, he was running every morning with other aspirants. On Nov 10, 2007, my son, while finishing his running, fell on the ground and became unconscious. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Later, he died due to a heart attack. I found that he could not control his breath or slow down before reaching the finish line. It all happened due to lack of proper training. I took a vow that day that I would pass on my experience to youths preparing for jobs requiring physical endurance tests. Nobody should face a situation like my son. Though I was helping aspirants earlier, I started their formal training after my son's death," said Sethi. Sethi retired from govt service in 2012 as a senior diarist in the finance department. He lives with his wife and daughter. "Around 4,000 youths trained by me got jobs in different sectors, including Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), armed forces, police, fire service, forest, railways," he added. Sethi said the youths love him like a son. "When they call me or come home to inform they have got govt jobs, it gives me immense happiness. They invite me to their marriages too. I will continue my work until I am able to walk. My daughter is a govt servant. I have a house and I get pension. I don't need money for training youths," he added.

Madurai to get third dog sterilisation centre

Madurai: In a move to strengthen its animal birth control (ABC) programme, the Madurai Corporation will soon open a third sterilisation centre in the city. An existing corporation health facility near Thangaraj Salai, opposite the corporation swimming pool, will be converted into a small sterilisation unit at an estimated cost of ₹50 lakh. The decision follows a recent stray dog census that counted 38,348 street dogs within city limits. Currently, two ABC centres—at Sellur and Vellaikal—carry out sterilisation and anti-rabies vaccination (ARV) procedures, performing 20–30 surgeries daily as per Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) ABC Rules, 2023. In 2024, around 4,000 dogs were sterilised. With the new centre, the corporation aims to increase this to 5,000 by year-end. "Though the new facility will be small, it will help boost surgery numbers and ease the load on existing centres," a senior health official said. Tenders will be floated soon, and veterinary support from the animal husbandry department is also being considered. The civic body pays ₹1,650 per dog to a private agency for ABC operations—₹1,450 for the surgery and ₹200 for dog-catching, in line with AWBI guidelines. Rising stray dog numbers and an increase in dog bite cases have led to growing public and activist pressure to expand the ABC programme. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Anında yanıt seçenekli kredi kartlarına nasıl başvuracağınızı öğrenin LocalPlan Hemen ara Undo Corporation data shows a jump in reported dog bite cases from 3,986 in 2018 to 13,280 in 2023. The issue has been frequently raised in council meetings, with councillors also calling for more dog-catching vehicles. The corporation currently operates only two. "A proposal to procure an additional vehicle has been sent for approval," the official added. Officials emphasised that expanding ABC infrastructure—along with increased veterinary and transport support—is vital to managing the stray dog population and addressing public health risks such as rabies. A rabies death was reported within city limits last year.
