Nutritionist Reveals How The 80/20 Diet Rule Helped Her Prevent Endometriosis Relapse And Regulate Menstrual Cycle
When it comes to dieting, the 80/20 rule offers a more balanced and flexible approach to eating. It suggests that 80% of your meals should be nutrient-rich and healthy, while the remaining 20% can be reserved for treats or less healthy cravings. This method encourages long-term consistency without strict restrictions, making it easier to stick with. Nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary recently shared on Instagram how she follows the 80/20 rule in her daily routine. Instead of obsessively counting calories, she opts for this gentler, more sustainable method. Rashi also revealed that the foods she chooses under this rule help her manage conditions like endometriosis and perimenopause. Rashi Chowdhary has shared a series of slides with foods that she has been consuming for the past 14 years on Instagram. "14 years no endo relapse and I still have regular periods," she mentions on the first slide. Rashi Chowdhary begins her morning routine with "fat first," which is a combination of Lion's mane, 5 grams of grass-fed butter, and organic decaf. This is followed by her lunch platter, which contains grated eggs and veggies along with her "green juice." Since perimenopause, rice has been an occasional item for Rashi, but she prefers it as an early dinner in case she has it. Plaay truffles, which are low in carbohydrates and made with 100% clean ingredients, are Rashi's go-to snack during the luteal phase of her cycle. When hunger strikes, she reaches for two to three of these truffles a day to stay on track without derailing her diet. Each truffle contains just 3g of carbs and has no refined sugar, making it a guilt-free treat that fits perfectly into her 80/20 routine. Next slide features Rashi's home-made electrolyte drink which is made of turmeric, Celtic salt, lemon, and sparkling water. Rashi is apparently not a fan of stir-fries but she loves to indulge in the combination of "aachar" (pickle) and soup with stir-fried vegetables. When it comes to lower carb meals, "veggie and minced chicken kabab" is her standard item. An entire bowl of edamame salad is Rashi's go-to option when she is not preparing meat for dinner. Despite not having a sugar craving, Rashi Chowdhary chooses to have a bit of "real deal" some days because she would "rather enjoy the bite that guilt-trip" herself. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashi Chowdhary (@rashichowdhary) Taking to the post's caption, Rashi Chowdhary mentions that she can now include a range of things that she was unable to eat earlier. Her gut was in terrible shape a few years ago. My endometriosis got worse due to oestrogen dominance brought on by chronic constipation and digestive problems, and messed with her "OAT axis." That's when Rashi Chowdhary realised that she needed to fix her gut before anything else.

This Father's Day, Prega News honours the 'invisible journey' of fathers
HighlightsPrega News, a pregnancy detection kit brand from Mankind Pharma, launched a Father's Day campaign that emphasizes the often-overlooked contributions of expectant fathers during the pregnancy journey. The campaign features stand-up comedian Aashish Solanki portraying an expectant father who humorously attempts to experience the physical challenges of pregnancy, while also highlighting the emotional and practical support that fathers provide. Recent research shows that 95 percent of Indian fathers believe parenting is a shared responsibility, with 94 percent actively participating in household chores and childcare, reflecting a significant shift in traditional gender roles. Prega News , India's pregnancy detection kit brand from Mankind Pharma , has launched a new Father's Day campaign that celebrates the often-overlooked contributions of expectant fathers during the pregnancy journey. The campaign highlights how pregnancy transforms both partners' lives, even when one's journey remains largely invisible to the world. The campaign film features stand-up comedian Aashish Solanki as an expectant father who attempts to experience pregnancy by wearing a belly for a day, undertaking challenges that pregnant women face daily. From picking up objects to sitting comfortably during work calls, the humorous yet enlightening exercise reveals the physical difficulties expectant mothers endure. However, the narrative takes a meaningful turn when his pregnant wife Rashi and her friends arrive, shifting the focus to acknowledge the emotional and practical support that fathers provide throughout the pregnancy journey. "This Father's Day, we wanted to shine a light on the invisible half of pregnancy - the father's journey," said Joy Chatterjee, vice president, sales and marketing head, consumer business unit, Mankind Pharma. 'While the physical changes of pregnancy are visible in mothers, fathers too undergo a significant emotional transformation, taking on the responsibility of ensuring financial security for the growing family, working tirelessly to meet increased household needs, and making countless sacrifices to prepare for parenthood.' The campaign draws inspiration from recent research indicating that 95 per cent of Indian fathers believe that parenting is a shared responsibility, reflecting the evolving dynamics of modern Indian families . This progressive outlook marks a significant departure from traditional gender roles, with 94 per cent of fathers actively participating in household chores and childcare. "Through this campaign, we want to honour the countless ways fathers contribute to the pregnancy journey; from making late-night food runs, planning budgets and providing emotional stability to making major life adjustments and long-term planning for their child's education and healthcare,"Chatterjee added. The film concludes with the powerful message: "Prega News wishes a Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads whose invisible journey may not be visible, but who stand by their partners through every joy and challenge of parenthood that begins with good news."

A dessert that doesn't sabotage your goals but still hits the sweet spot. Enter Rashi Chowdhary, a well-known nutritionist, who just might have cracked the code.

'I was repulsed when I saw this viral video,' she says honestly, but adds with growing excitement, saying, "but this is one of those that's actually, actually really nice. So much protein in this one. It just tastes so great.' As she breaks the dessert open on camera, she zooms in on its texture. 'Look at the texture. There's no protein powder. Crunchy walnuts,' she points out. 'The best form of protein that you can get,' she continues, while offering one small caveat. "The only downside is that there's a bit of sugar in it. I mean not bit, there is sugar in it," she adds. But just when you're about to feel guilty, she swoops in with the beauty bonus, 'But again, it's one of those great things for your beauty face. You have to give this a try.' Watch it here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashi Chowdhary (@rashichowdhary) Judging by her caption, even Rashi didn't expect to be wowed.

It has some sugar in the form of manuka honey, but you can indulge in this dessert in your Luteal Phase when you're craving something sweet," she added.

Nutritionist Explains How Supplement Timing Can Impact Your Health
Timing can make all the difference when it comes to taking supplements. Depending on the type of supplement and your body's needs, some work best in the morning, others in the evening, and some even need to be split throughout the day. Nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary recently highlighted just how crucial the right timing is to getting the most out of your supplements. 'Because timing does matter,' Rashi Chowdhary said in her recent Instagram post. She further explained in the video that right supplements with wrong timings equals zero results. According to Rashi Chowdhary, Omega 3 should be taken with a large meal, such as lunch or dinner, for blood sugar stabilization. One should avoid taking Omega 3 after working out because it may prevent the inflammation that helps build muscle. 'It works like an insulin mimicker. So, if you've had carbs in these meals, it's going to help stabilize your blood sugars,' she said in the clip. For optimal absorption, vitamin D should be taken in the morning with fat. Vitamin D should not be taken at night since it may interfere with the production of melatonin, which might cause problems sleeping. Moreover, water-soluble vitamin B12 can be taken at any time, but absorption interference prevents it from working alongside iron. 'Three sprays under your tongue anytime is okay because it's water soluble. You don't need fat to absorb this better,' the nutritionist said. Last but not least, nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary mentioned that magnesium is best taken at night or right before bed. To avoid interference, people with thyroid problems should wait three to four hours between taking magnesium and thyroid medications. The effectiveness of supplements depends on their quality and absorption, Rashi added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashi Chowdhary (@rashichowdhary) In the caption of her Instagram post, The nutritionist shared her 3 non-negotiables when it comes to supplements: 1. Right form: The proper shape is one that your body requires and can effectively absorb. 2. High quality: No inexpensive additives, fillers, or unidentified ingredients 3. Correct timing and technique: Some supplements complement meals, others don't, and some just balance each other out. By being aware of and following these supplement schedules, one can maximize the advantages of their diet and increase the efficiency of these supplements.

Here are the tips she suggested for taking omega-3, vitamin D, and B12: A post shared by Rashi Chowdhary (@rashichowdhary) The first one is omega-3. You want to take it with a big meal, either at lunch or dinner. It works like an insulin mimicker. If you've had carbs during any meal, it's going to help stabilise your blood sugar levels. However, Rashi suggested not to have it after a workout because you need that post-workout inflammation to build muscles. The nutritionist suggested taking vitamin D supplements in the mornings. She recommended consuming it, along with fat, for better absorption. 'Avoid it at night because it interferes with melatonin, which can affect your sleep,' she added. Rashi stressed that everyone should start consuming B12 because 'everyone needs it'. 'Three sprays under your tongue at any time is okay because it's water soluble. You don't need fat to absorb this better, but make sure not to take it along with iron, as it will interfere with absorption,' she suggested. As for magnesium, you should take it either in the evenings or at bedtime. 'If you struggle with thyroid issues, keep a gap of three to four hours between magnesium and your thyroid meds,' Rashi said.
