Rehan's Eating Habits

Rehan’s eating habits were bad. Rehan eats irregular, carb-heavy diets. His diet was lacking in hydration and nutrient-dense foods. His meals included calorie rich food items like aloo paratha, omelettes, and Maggi. Post dinner he used to eat ice cream and pastries. 

He consumes very little water, as less as less than 1 litre per day. This leads to internal dehydration. He enjoys foods like paneer, banana, and rice, he dislikes some fruits and green vegetables like bhindi, karela, papaya, guava, and pineapple.

Here’s the exact message shared by Dietitian Ria to Rehan (and his parents) at end of 3 months –

Hey Ayaan,

Great news! 😃 Your blood levels have improved drastically in less than 3 months, even by following just 50% of the recommendations 🥳

We are proud of you 🙌

– TSH: down from 7.1 to 2.1
– Vitamin D: up from 6.16 to 17.2 (could be even better with regular supplements)
– Vitamin B12: up from 113 to 397 (great improvement with diet)
– Iron levels: up from 73 to 97
– Transferrin saturation: up from 21.1 to almost 30

On the other hand, your HbA1c is still in the pre-diabetic range, likely due to a sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise.

I’m really impressed with your progress, especially losing 5 kg in less than 3 months! Keep up the great work and try to be more consistent with your routine for even better results.

Best Regards,
Dietitian Ria Hawle
