Foodie Fitness
Food management and weight management – can the twain ever meet?!
Coming from an Odia family, Susmita Mishra has tasted the world of glamour as well as the corporate world. She has been a TV anchor, Odia actress, journalist and also has been in Bangalore with the corporate world.
Coming from Puri - town known for its beaches and tasty cuisine - she has been a foodie since childhood.
Moving to Bangalore, she quickly adapted to the place and fell for the local restaurants along with the sedentary lifestyle that came with the work schedule.
With pregnancy came the nausea and vomiting bouts that kept her food likings at bay. But post pregnancy as she began the journey into motherhood, Susmita’s food cravings went overboard as if to make up for all the lost times.
Within a short time she gained 15 – 16 kgs. 3rd stage varicose veins added fuel to the fire. Even her daily work became painful let alone dancing.
73 kgs and multiple failed therapies left Susmita miserable and she knew that losing weight was the only way out. But how? For a foodie, diet control is a terror.
When all around looked gloomy, she saw a streak of sunshine when she got introduced to an expert from Wellness Quotient through a friend.
It seemed too good to be true when she heard about the healthy lifestyle habits. But over a few consultations, she was convinced and ready to take the plunge.
Her weight loss journey was a learning process and an eye opener. In four months, she reduced 13 -14 kgs without compromising on her favorite delicacies.
The coach helped her manage her diet with Odia cuisine! What more could she ask for?
73 kgs to 59 kgs in four months and 1 ½ years later the same! "All thanks to WQ", beams Susmita. With varicose veins out and dancing in, she now enjoys life to the brim and helps people with similar needs.
Happiness grows when shared, isn’t it?
(Wellness Quotient proudly presents one of their WQ Champion Susmita's journey as yet another hope for many out there who want to achieve wellness but are uncertain if they can too!)
