Woman reveals how she lost over 75kg with her ‘Nozempic' diet: No jabs, just 5 simple lifestyle rules
Weighing in over 130 kg, Sarah Jane had become dependent on sugar from a young age, her mornings starting with Cadbury buttons and Coca-Cola. She says emotional neglect and a sugar-rich upbringing created a deep-seated food addiction. Speaking to Sun Health , she recalls how her childhood was littered with micro-traumas about her appearance: boys telling her she had 'rugby player legs' or that she 'could be pretty if she weren't fat.' These comments stuck, burrowing into her subconscious.
Despite trying the Cambridge Diet in her teens, her addiction to sweets prevailed. By 25, her body was failing—her periods had stopped, she was diagnosed with PCOS, suffered chronic fatigue, and was warned she wouldn't make it to 40. That was the turning point. 'Doctors told me I was eating myself to death,' she told. It wasn't a jab or a crash diet that turned her life around—but five simple rules, what she now refers to as her Nozempic diet .
Sarah Jane's initial changes were modest: 30-minute walks and more water. She stopped ordering takeaways and began eliminating processed foods. 'If a food had more than five ingredients, I didn't eat it,' she says. It wasn't a diet, she insists, but a change in mindset—one that got stronger with each small victory. 'The healthier I became, the healthier I wanted to be,' she recalls. Over time, the results were stunning. Within 16 months, she had lost 7 stone. After giving birth to her two children, Chloe and Jack, she maintained the momentum. From a size 28, she slimmed down to a size 10. But the changes weren't just physical—Sarah Jane also found the confidence to reclaim her identity and her life.
What began as daily walks evolved into a full-blown fitness journey. Today, Sarah Jane has completed 50 half-marathons and two London Marathons. Her fitness brand, Step by Step With Sarah Jane , now inspires others to transform without medical intervention. 'I was told I wouldn't live to see 40. For my 40th birthday, I ran a 5K Race for Life,' she says proudly. Now at a healthy 62kg, she's been at her goal weight for five years—and even found love along the way. She met her now-husband Paul Flounders through their mutual passion for running. 'He said I was amazing,' she says. 'I couldn't believe he thought that. I never saw myself that way.' While weight loss injections have gained a following, Sarah Jane urges caution. 'You can't just inject yourself and love yourself,' she says, warning that many people treat the jab as a fix-all without addressing the psychological roots of food addiction. 'I see people on jabs still eating crap food. It's not the miracle people think it is.' Her five simple rules? Walk 30 minutes daily, drink more water, eliminate ultra-processed foods, find joy in exercise, and skip the jabs. 'Educate yourself about what you're eating. Read the ingredients. And if food has more than five ingredients—don't eat it,' she advises.

How Voll Sante Is Building a New Category of Food-as-Medicine in India
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 31: India continues to face a worrying rise in chronic diseases. Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, PCOS, and early-onset heart disease are becoming increasingly common – and not just among older adults. A large proportion of India's urban population is now overweight, fatigued, or living with hidden deficiencies. Nearly 1 in 5 deaths can be linked to poor diet and nutrition, and around 30% of Indian adults show signs of metabolic syndrome. The food on our plates may be filling, but it's often stripped of the micronutrients, healthy fats, and active compounds our bodies need to function well. At the same time, modern supplements often focus on isolated nutrients, synthetic formulations, or short-term symptom relief – missing the bigger picture of long-term health. This is the gap that Shri Satya Dev Tiwari, founder of Voll Sante, set out to address. With years of experience in a global commercial leadership role at a leading pharmaceutical multinational, he saw firsthand how the healthcare system often functioned more like 'sick-care" – focused on pills and procedures, rather than on prevention and overall well-being. This observation led him to explore Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), and eventually become a firm believer in the role of Food as Medicine and Nutritional Medicine. In 2017, he founded Voll Sante Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd. with a clear mission: to integrate food and nutrition into mainstream healthcare in a way that helps prevent illness, preserve wellness, and promote long-term fitness. At the heart of Voll Sante's work is a philosophy called Food-as-Medicine – the idea that daily nutrition should not only nourish but also help reduce the risk of chronic conditions. This led to the development of functional foods and oils designed to support core areas like immunity, hormonal balance, joint health, heart health, digestion, and metabolic function. One example is Voll Sante's range of oil-filled capsules under Ayush, a blend of functional plant oils aimed at supporting cardiovascular health, boosting immunity, supporting metabolism and improving hair and skin health – all key concerns in today's urban lifestyle. These formulations are delivered in vegetarian HPMC capsules – free from gelatin, preservatives, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals – making them safer and more bioavailable for long-term use. Voll Sante 's approach also extends to bone and joint care with products like Calgal Plus, made from Icelandic red marine algae. Unlike calcium derived from rocks or animal shells, this plant-based calcium is more easily absorbed and comes naturally enriched with magnesium, vitamin K2-7, and over 70 trace minerals that support bone density and reduce inflammation. By combining natural ingredients, clean sourcing, and scientific formulation, Voll Sante is building a model of preventive health that is practical, accessible, and rooted in everyday nutrition. As chronic health conditions continue to rise, solutions like these may offer a way forward – not through extreme interventions, but through better daily choices.

"The Viral Madagascar Centella Cleansing Oil Burnt My Face, Gave Me Boils": 29-Year-Old Writer To NDTV
The skincare industry is booming more than ever, and it has become exponentially popular with the unrealistic pursuit of the so-called "perfect" face. In the race to achieve flawless skin, many people fall prey to viral social media fads - often without understanding what their skin truly needs. A 2024 study published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health revealed a concerning fact - over 88 chemicals, like parabens, were found in more than 73,000 cosmetic products. This alarming data reflects the growing trend of consumers investing heavily in skincare products without fully understanding their long-term effects. As a result, many unknowingly damage their skin while spending thousands of rupees on influencer-endorsed beauty trends. For Satata Karmakar, a Noida-based writer, the consequences of falling for such a social media trend were personal and painful. After trying the much-hyped Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil by the South Korean brand SKIN1004, her skin became inflamed and acne-prone, triggering both physical discomfort and emotional distress. This Cult-Favourite Cleansing Oil Made Her Skin Worse - Here's Why Like many others, Satata, 29, discovered the popular skincare product on Instagram. "It kept showing up on my feed. Once you watch one video, the algorithm just keeps throwing the same thing at you. You start to believe it must be working for everyone. And I fell for the beauty trend," Satata told NDTV. Initially, she ordered a sample-sized bottle that she said did not "actually cause any problems". She instead thought it was helping. "I went ahead and got the full-sized bottle, which turned out to be a big mistake." At first glance, Satata also thought the ingredients would have a gentle impact and would help calm the inflammation and reduce her skin problems, but things didn't go as expected. "Just a few days after switching to the bigger bottle, I experienced break outs - painful, bumpy acne that I never had before. I assumed it was just my skin adjusting (to the formula of the oil)" Satata added. When she purchased the viral Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil, she expected a cleaner, calmer skin. Instead, her skin reacted badly to the product - it became inflamed and started peeling off. Madagascar Centella is a skincare line within the SKIN1004 brand, an award-winning, hypoallergenic and natural skincare brand from South Korea. The products are focused on using the plant Centella Asiatica, which is sourced from Madagascar. It is believed to soothe, hydrate, and repair the skin. Still trusting the process, Satata kept using the product. "I later learned that oil cleansers need to be emulsified with water before rinsing off, or they can clog pores. That step wasn't written clearly on the packaging." When NDTV reached out to SKIN 1004, the brand did not respond. Eventually, Satata consulted a dermatologist. "The doctor told me this product wasn't meant for Indian skin types. He explained that a lot of these viral products just aren't tested for our climate or skin needs." "My face had these painful boils, not just pimples. It was stressful to even look at myself," Satata told NDTV. Looking back, she admits she got swept up in the curated world of skincare influencers without knowing the requirements of her skin. "It's all fake. These people get paid to promote things that may not work for everyone," she alleges. "I realise now that a simple routine, suited to your own skin and weather, is much safer," she adds. Satata's story is not uncommon. Many consumers pointed out on social media that they suffered the same fate as her, especially those who have acne-prone skin. Mariya Multani on online shopping platform Nykaa wrote, "It's a very bad product. I got breakouts on my skin." Another person shared that it can lead to "clogged pores... use it in the proper way, first put it on a dry face, then massage gently with water." "Used the same oil cleanser and gave it 6 weeks to work, but the purge that I thought was happening wasn't a purge, it was a breakout. Be careful," wrote a Redditor. [Product Question] Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Cleansing Oil and Foam Cleanser for Oily Sensitive Acne Prone Skin by u/llnneea in SkincareAddiction Don't Fall For Social Media Fads, Know Your Skin First The one thing common in Satata's case and many like her is that they all had oily skin. NDTV out to Dr Nisha Shaukin, MD, a Delhi-based certified dermatologist, to understand more about whether this is a coincidence or a deeper issue. When asked about Satata's case, Dr Shaukin emphasised that people should avoid following social media trends blindly. "People try to fix every skin issue with products alone. That mindset is the real problem - they need to shift their focus from the product to understanding their skin and may even worsen her condition." The dermatologist also said that the dryness Satata experienced may not be because of the cleansing oil, but "could be a reaction to an ingredient in the product. It may have damaged her skin barrier." Understand Your Skin And Its Problems Before Choosing A Product "Every skin is different. Korean skincare products especially may not be suitable for Indian skin types because of completely different climatic conditions. Plus, the texture, quality of the skin, and the problems of the skin are different for Indians. It is important to know your skin type and look at the ingredients before you pick a product for your skin, especially if you have acne-prone skin." Dr Shaukin, who frequently deals with patients suffering the aftermath of skincare fads, says, "People try to fix every skin issue with products alone. That mindset is the real problem - they need to shift their focus from the product to understanding their skin." "A cleanser is only for cleaning, and it cannot cure your acne. No face wash or skincare product will cure your acne. Go into the depth of why you have acne and the problem causing it," she adds. The dermatologist emphasises the need to know the underlying cause of the problem before investing in any skincare product. "Do you have a hormonal imbalance? Is it adult acne? Get yourself treated after knowing the cause, only then will the products help you," she adds. The best way to deal with a skin problem is to visit a dermatologist before making any changes to your skincare routine. Satata's mistake of falling for a social media fad cost her discomfort and even affected her mental health. "You have to know if there is an underlying skin problem or an internal health problem that may be causing it. Take some professional help and check the ingredients in the product, and then pick up your products. Avoid choosing a skincare product only because it's trending and everyone is using it." In a nutshell, avoid following any beauty trends without consulting a dermatologist. Also, it is important to know your skin first before trying any new skincare products.

Digital beauty vs medical reality: Hyderabad youth chase insta faces; expect surgical procedures for real-life edits
An increasing number of young adults in Hyderabad, especially those in their twenties, are walking into dermatology and aesthetic clinics with high hopes and even higher expectations. Heavily influenced by social media filters, influencer content, and the quest for 'Instagram faces' or 'Korean glass skin,' many seek aesthetic transformations that defy anatomical and medical logic. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad Doctors say patients now often arrive with digitally altered selfies and reference pictures that reflect unrealistic goals. 'They are no longer coming in for improvement, they want perfection, even when it doesn't match their body type or skin condition,' said Dr Rajetha Damisetty, senior dermatologist. Popular demands include lip fillers, skin boosters, jawline contouring, nose reshaping, and weight-loss solutions like liposuction, sometimes even in combination. Highlighting how emotional expectations often outweigh medical facts, a citybased plastic surgeon shared a recent case: A 28-year-old woman underwent liposuction to contour her body. While the surgery was clinically successful, the patient remained disappointed. She compared her post-surgery look with an old video of herself performing a belly dance and insisted, 'I don't look like that anymore.' The doctor, upon reviewing the video, found it had likely been filmed when the woman weighed less and was enhanced with flattering angles and filters. 'She was chasing a digitally frozen version of herself. But liposuction isn't a weight-loss tool, it's a contouring procedure. Yet patients expect to be reshaped into virtual avatars,' said Dr Priti Shukla, senior plastic surgeon and member of the International Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (IAAPS). In another instance illustrating the growing disconnect between digital influence and medical reality, a 22-year-old engineering student approached doctors after undergoing ten laser sessions for a large facial mole. Though advised that further procedures might not yield a better cosmetic outcome and could potentially worsen the appearance, he insisted on a skin graft based on information he found online. 'Even after showing him real-world outcomes, he remained convinced by internet theories that don't apply to larger skin patches,' the doctor noted.
