214 – Effective strategies for weight loss and balancing blood sugar-[Podcast with Nagina Sethi Abdullah]
Today’s guest on the PCOS Diva Podcast is Nagina Sethi Abdullah. She is a management consultant, weight-loss and food coach, and founder of MasalaBody.com. It’s an online resource for healthy recipes and weight-loss tips for the busy working woman. Nagina has personally lost 40 pounds and has kept it off for over 10 years without counting calories or measuring portion sizes. Nagina has two kids and is now into middle age so she personally understands that professional women often don’t have the time, frankly, to spend hours at the gym or devote to dieting.
In this episode Dr. Vinu and Nagina dive into effective strategies for appetite control and blood sugar. You probably hear everywhere to “boost your protein intake”, well Nagina takes the time to actually explain WHY protein is so important to weight loss and blood sugar management. She explains step by step the best order of eating your food, how much protein you need per meal, sugar cravings, stress eating and more. This episode is a must listen for anyone who wants to eat healthier without feeling like they’re on a diet.
