Namita Satheesh, a prominent Instagram user, has garnered attention for her significant weight transformation, having lost 20 kilograms. Through her social media platform, Ms Satheesh regularly provides her followers with practical advice, dietary recommendations, and exercise strategies aimed at promoting effective and sustainable fat loss. Her content is designed to inspire and guide individuals toward realistic weight management. On July 9th, Ms Satheesh published an Instagram post detailing the challenging realities of weight loss that she encountered. "I am sharing the truth because I have experienced these challenges firsthand and learnt difficult lessons," she stated. She further elaborated, "After repeated attempts and setbacks and experimenting with various methods including fat burners, weight loss probiotics, and crash diets, I have identified what truly works. I am now sharing this knowledge with you." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Namita • nutritionist (@namitasatheesh) Ms Satheesh outlined six fundamental truths: Time Commitment: She emphasised that reversing years of weight gain is a gradual process that extends beyond a few months. Patience and consistent effort are paramount, rather than an obsession with immediate results. Avoiding the "All or Nothing" Mindset: Ms Satheesh clarified that individual meals do not dictate overall progress. The critical factor is an individual's mindset, urging against extreme reactions to minor deviations from a diet plan. Accepting Demotivation: Acknowledging that sustained daily motivation is unrealistic, she advocated for building consistent habits and routines. These provide the necessary framework for progress even when motivation wanes. Ineffectiveness of Quick Fixes: Ms Satheesh strongly advised against relying on products such as probiotics, fat burners, juice fasts, or detox teas for lasting or healthy weight loss. She recommended focusing instead on wholesome, balanced meals. No Need for Extreme Restriction: She asserted that eliminating entire food groups or favourite treats is unnecessary for weight loss. The key lies in consuming these items in moderation, as excessive restriction can paradoxically increase cravings. Consistency Through Moderation: Ms Satheesh highlighted the importance of consistent healthy eating patterns throughout the week. Inconsistent eating habits, such as healthy weekdays followed by indulgent weekends, can impede weight loss progress.

How nutritionist lost 20 kg after 'quitting' multiple times: 'Instead of eating less, I focused...'
In a world full of crash diets, unrealistic fitness goals, and constant pressure to "eat less," sustainable weight loss can feel nearly impossible. But nutritionist Namita Satheesh's journey proves otherwise. After quitting multiple times, she eventually lost 20 kg, not by starving herself but by shifting her mindset. Nutritionist Namita Satheesh lost 20 kg by changing her mindset from restrictive dieting to nourishing her body. (Instagram/@namitasatheesh) In a July 1 Instagram post, she shared how she achieved her goal by focusing on fuelling her body and building healthy habits that truly lasted.

Then I'd binge eat all weekend as if every meal was my last meal on Earth. Monday would come, and I'd be excited to start. No sugar, no fried food, no junk. I'd work out, hit 10k steps, a great day. Tuesday and Wednesday would go well too. But by Thursday, everything would fall apart.' Check out her video here. There are people who think consuming less food than what the body requires will help them to lose weight faster - this is very dangerous. She continues, "By Thursday, I'd lose all motivation to exercise. My cravings would kick in, and I'd cave and order a pizza. Then I'd feel guilty for cheating on my diet. I'd think, 'Okay, my diet's already out the window, so I might as well order some ice cream too.' I'd eat that in guilt and tell myself I'd start again next Monday. And the cycle would repeat." "I thought I was the problem," she admits. "Maybe I didn't have enough willpower. Maybe I didn't want it badly enough. Or maybe I just wasn't trying hard enough. I couldn't understand why diets never worked for me or why I couldn't stay consistent. I used to guilt-trip myself constantly. I hated how I looked and how I felt." 'I stopped chasing quick fixes' But eventually, Namita realised she wasn't the problem, her approach was. "I wanted to lose weight fast. It was always all or nothing. The diets I followed were too extreme and completely unsustainable. I hadn't addressed my relationship with food," she explains. So, what finally changed? 'It shifted when I stopped chasing quick fixes. I had gained 25 kg over five years, how could I expect to lose it in just three months? I replaced my diet mentality and all-or-nothing mindset. I focused on simply showing up. I stopped obsessing over the weighing scale and just kept showing up, no matter what the number said.' By shifting her mindset from dieting to nourishing her body, Namita achieved lasting weight loss.(Unsplash) Namita says the biggest breakthrough came when she changed her mindset from restriction to nourishment. "Instead of trying to eat less and less, I focused on what I could do more of—more protein, more steps, more exercise, more fruits, more veggies, and more sleep. I stopped restricting, and just like that, I stopped having to start over every week." Can sustainable changes really replace strict dieting? Her advice to others is simple and powerful: "If you're sick of starting over, stop! What you need is not another diet but a sustainable plan that fits into your life and routine. Quick fixes don't work. Consistency does. Diets don't work. Moderation does." She concludes, "Now I've lost 20 kg and maintained that weight loss, not through extreme diets or hours of cardio, but with consistent daily action. Even when I'm not motivated. Even when I feel lazy. I stopped trying to punish myself for weight loss and started enjoying my meals and workouts. And when you enjoy something, it's not hard to stick to it."
