My focus is the restoration of excellent metabolic function by helping you break free from restrictive diets, achieve balanced hormonal health, vibrant energy, and natural weight management, achieving a life of health without the stress, worry and guilt of what to eat. It’s time to start honouring your body. Trust yourself, trust the process and believe that you can succeed. Stop believing the lies and start respecting what your body has and can do for you.

Praise for the author
During the time I played, sports nutrition was not taken too seriously. But with the game becoming professional and multi-formatted, today’s players understand the importance of fitness and nutrition. You can’t have one without the other.

We can find all sorts of excuses, “I have no time”, “I don’t have the expertise”, “My long work hours prevent me from maintaining a healthy lifestyle”, for NOT taking that first step to a healthy body. Working with Kinita, allowed me to match my training program to her well-balanced nutritional plan, and this allowed me to achieve my goals of peak performance. With Kinita’s 40-day body transformation plan, I was able to achieve maximum results, despite being on the road, and facing the challenges of ever-changing meal options and timings.

There are ‘diets’& there is ‘nutrition.’ Kinita has wonderfully explained the difference between the two in this book. As an actor we struggle in maintaining our body composition at its optimum level all the time and books like these give a lot of insight in doing so. All the best Kinita!

Kinita’s dietary advice is very easy to follow as it is incorporated into one’s daily schedule.

On a personal note, I fondly call her “Kadakbai” as she is strict in her demeanour, but charmingly inspires you to follow her food plan

Jimmy Shergill · Bollywood actor
Working with Kinita has not only changed my body type but has brought with it clarity, flexibility, practicality and the joy of eating well. I know how much and what to eat and at what times, which helps me adapt to changing situations and travel plans. Also, especially since my work entails facing the camera, a planned, appropriate diet for a lean look at all times is a must. This was possible only after I started consulting with Kinita. Movie making is more interesting and fulfilling as now I can look my best without starving and depending on the impractical diets that otherwise sell in the market. Kudos to Kinita and more power to you
