I am a Psychiatrist by profession and whole-day I have to sit at clinic for patients. Due to my hectic life style, I was in the habit of skipping meals and most of the time to quench my hunger, I used to eat easily available foods near to my clinic, and those were JUNK FOODS. After some time, I was feeling my energy level was low and my weight was increasing and at the same time i was also suffering from hormonal imbalance. My Gynaecologist diagnosed and told me that I am suffering from PCOS and suggested me to lose weight. I got in touch with Thinkyou team, they checked all the parameters and planned a scientific and tasty meal plan pattern for me. I followed their diet plans with full dedication and after two months, I lost 11 kg of weight. That was quite shocking because, I was eating all the delicious meals and I was losing weight also. I was feeling energetic, even I was also able to balance my hormones. Thanks Thinkyou for helping!

For that I was doing every-possible efforts for weight loss such as yoga, sports and dieting etc, but my foodie nature to taste different cuisines was restricting me. When I contacted Thinkyou team, I told them clearly about my food-love and my goal to lose weight, they heard me properly and prepared a delicious and scientific diet plan for weight loss. In one month after following their scientific diet plan, I LOST 5 KGs. Their Dieticians and Doctors are very cooperative and respond immediately on call. I love the way they counsel!
