The     S. H. A. P. E.     Diets
Scientific  Holistic  Acheivable  Personalized  Effective

A diet may be very easy to follow but can it be a permanent part of our lifestyle?
Many of us go on a diet but how many of us can really continue it for long?

One always shudders at the word Diet because it is referred to as an endless list of things one can’t eat, deprivation or starvation.


Geeta Desai with 23 years of practice in this field believes that to achieve permanent results one has to make Diet a habit and health a lifestyle.

S.H.A.P.E. Diets (Scientific, Holistic, Achievable, Personalized and Effective) devised by her assure a solution to make diet a habit with ease.


The unique feature of this diet is that you don’t feel that you are doing anything different and so is pursuable and therefore it is more long lasting. It just slips in comfortably as a part of your lifestyle.

In this diet, foods are grouped according to their similarity in nutrient and calorie content, so one has a wide range of foods to choose from. This not only breaks the monotony of following the same regimen everyday but also makes it an easy task of adapting it permanently in one’s daily routine.

Scientific
Knowing very well the hazards of crash diets or the ineffectiveness of special diets (mono diets), S.H.A.P.E. Diets are designed on a scientific background. Efforts are taken to meet the nutritional requirements, increase the metabolic rate (which is low in majority of the cases), and increase the lean body mass and also reducing the fat without eating less. The diets maintain a perfect balance of proteins, carbohydrates and fats along with vitamins and minerals.


S.H.A.P.E. insists on 4-6 meals and no crash diets, taking full care of your entire health, keeping your muscles intact, increasing your B.M.R. which in turn will definitely ensure a smooth sail to Fat Loss! A weight loss of 2 kgs per month is recommended so that it is more gradual and easy to maintain. Emphasis is also laid on exercise, which could be any activity you enjoy; say a brisk walk of 30-45 minutes daily. Also tips are given to increase your spontaneous activity which in turn burns calories.

Holistic
Just being thin is not enough but it’s the health that really matters. S.H.A.P.E. diets concentrate on your overall health, improving your biochemical parameters with an effort to reduce your medications. Also focus is more on PREVENTIVE rather than CURATIVE therapy, thereby shifting the focus to improve the immune system and keeping diseases and fatigue at bay. Guidance is given on behavioural modification techniques, positive approaches and stress relieving techniques. 


Achievable
Imagine trying to pursue something which is neither practical nor enjoyable, isn’t it most frustrating? That is the reason one tends to discontinue any regimen. S.H.A.P.E. Diets are designed in such a way that they are easily achievable, without feeling deprived or starved. With options galore in the diet, following the regimen is very easy with no problems, as there is an easy solution for every hurdle. S.H.A.P.E. Diets also guide you on how not to deprive yourself if you have a “sweet tooth” or if you have a craving for something “chatpata”. You are also told how to compensate in case you binge at a party.


The overall program is an educative process where the entire ‘why’s and ‘how’s of diet are explained in a simple way. The changes, if required are very gradually made. Counselling is the major forte of the program which is the key to open the lock of inhibition for a successful weight-loss. Efforts are taken to change the attitude towards diet and exercise & within no time the art of the balancing-act is mastered by clients.


Personalized
For any program to be successful it is very essential to identify the goals as well as the problems underlying and together with the client, work out a solution which will be easily adapted in one’s routine. This is possible only if the program is personalised and with patient listening. The diets are tailor-made to suit one’s personal needs, requirements and lifestyle.


Whether it is vegetarian or non- vegetarian, continental or moghlai, fast foods or quick-fix recipes S.H.A.P.E. Diets have the solution to suit each one’s palate and each one’s lifestyle. You’ll enjoy every meal of yours and yet achieve your goal.


Effective
S.H.A.P.E. Diets being so scientific in nature, with a holistic approach, easily achievable and personalized are totally effective and more long lasting.



So adopting S.H.A.P.E. Diets and regular exercise along with desire, determination and consistency, there sure lies a bright and healthy future ahead!
