Transformation is not just about appearance or how people change their perceptions about us, rather transformation is about how we feel about ourselves and the way our vision and perceptions change. Losing weight and becoming fit was the basic transformational step for Ambika Dutt aka the roaming_nutrionist. The ideal transformation that changed her path and brought the long-awaited change for Ambika was in her self-confidence and self-reliance.
During her journey, Ambika realized the need for healthy eating and ample nutrition that one needs in their diet during weight loss. For Ambika, “Weight loss gave me self-confidence which was lacking earlier. However, this confidence was not just an outcome of losing weight rather it was a by-product of my physical and mental health which was attained through a healthy lifestyle and nutritious meals. This was when I realized that everything is incomplete without nutrition and a balanced lifestyle.”
Realizing the need for nutrition during the transformation journey, Ambika was highly intrigued by the what and what not of healthy eating, a balanced diet, type of lifestyle, and most importantly what is a nutritious lifestyle according to the person’s age or gender or physical attributes. Thus, Ambika decided to enroll in different courses to have a deeper understanding of this and completed various courses and became the ISSA-certified nutritionist course, Pregnancy nutrition from LMU, Certified Breastfeeding counselor course (BPNI India), and the Precision level 1 certified Coach thus, becoming a certified nutritionist. Amongst these courses, Ambika undertook two women-specific courses which were women breastfeeding counselor course and a pregnancy nutrition course. As a breastfeeding counselor, Ambika helps women in correcting their posture while breastfeeding their child or helps in the process of breastfeeding as many women find it difficult to breastfeed. Both of these services are provided free of cost by her as she believes that breastfeeding is the first and integral step toward the health of the mother and her child.
Further, Ambika has helped a lot of people in their transformation journey and her website that is http://shapetutor.com/ is living proof of that. People reach out to her not only through her website but also through her Instagram handle which is roaming_nutrionist. Twice a week, Ambika puts up stories that are “myth-busters”. If you are wondering what it is, then to let you know, there are stories where Ambika debunks myths regarding weight loss like consuming specific items boiled with water to lose weight or morning rituals that help lose weight in just a few days.
Ambika is firm believes that it is not just the weighing scale that marks our transformation or fat loss rather it is an increase in confidence, reduction in stress, feeling energized and a better sleep cycle that are true indicators of a healthy and fit lifestyle.
