Consulting Go Moringa

How the clinic works — in-clinic, online, fees and booking.

01Who is the best dietitian in Gurgaon?
Dt. Priyatama Srivastava of Go Moringa Nutri Diet & Food Clinic, Sector 49 Gurugram, is widely regarded among the best dietitians in Gurgaon — 20 years of clinical practice, 10,000+ clients, rated 5.0/5 on Practo (279+ reviews) and 4.9/5 on Justdial (699+). The clinic is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
02Where is the Go Moringa clinic located?
Unitech Rodio Drive, D-117 & 118, South City II, Sector 49, Gurugram, Haryana 122018. The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and is 10–15 minutes from DLF Phases, Sushant Lok and Sohna Road.
03Does Go Moringa offer online diet consultation?
Yes. Online consultation has been core to the practice for over a decade. The process — detailed assessment, a personalised written plan, and daily follow-ups — is identical to an in-clinic engagement and reaches clients anywhere in India or abroad.
04Is an online consultation as effective as visiting the clinic?
Yes. Nutrition counselling is an assessment, a written plan and a structured review — all of which work perfectly over video and WhatsApp, with lab reports shared as photographs. Thousands of online clients have achieved the same results as in-clinic clients.
05What does the first consultation cost?
The first 15-minute conversation is free — it is used to understand your goal and tell you honestly whether a dietary programme is the right fit. Programmes then start with a one-month plan and scale to multi-month packages; current pricing is shared on call or WhatsApp.
06How do I book an appointment?
WhatsApp +91-9910922899, call the clinic, or use the booking page on this site. The clinic responds within a few hours during working hours, Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM.
07How long is a typical diet programme?
Programmes start with a one-month plan and scale to comprehensive multi-month packages. Most conditions need at least three months of consistent eating to show full results, so longer programmes are common — the right length is recommended for your goal.
08Do you coordinate with my doctor?
Yes. The clinic routinely works alongside cardiologists, endocrinologists, gynaecologists and other specialists. A diet plan supports medical treatment; it never replaces your doctor, and decisions about medication remain theirs.

Weight loss & diet plans

Losing weight sustainably on Indian food.

01How much weight can I lose with a personalised diet plan?
Sustainable weight loss is typically 2–4 kg per month, with most clients seeing measurable change within 2–3 weeks. The aim is loss that stays off — not a rapid drop that rebounds.
02Will I have to give up rice and roti to lose weight?
No. Rice, roti, dal and sabzi remain on your plate, portioned and timed for your goal. A plan that bans staple Indian foods is one you cannot sustain — the correction is to portions, timing and pairings.
03Why do most weight-loss diets fail?
Crash diets, meal-replacement shakes and generic PDFs are not built for the individual following them. They cut whole food groups, the body adapts, the plan becomes impossible to sustain, and the weight returns. A plan calibrated to your labs, body and kitchen is what lasts.
04Can I lose weight eating normal Indian food?
Yes — it is the most sustainable way to. A correctly portioned Indian thali balances carbohydrate, protein, fibre and probiotics. The plan corrects portions, timing and cooking oil rather than removing staple foods.
05Do you use meal-replacement shakes or supplements?
No. Plans are built on normal, cooked Indian food. Supplements are recommended only when a genuine, lab-confirmed deficiency exists.
06How is a personalised plan different from a free diet chart online?
A free chart is generic. A personalised plan is calibrated to your blood work, medical history, body composition and kitchen, and is revised continually against your real progress — that is what makes weight loss hold.
07Can I follow a weight-loss plan while working long hours?
Yes. Plans are built around real schedules — business travel, food-app dinners, irregular timings. The plan re-engineers how you eat within your calendar rather than assuming an idealised routine.
08Is weight gain also managed?
Yes. Healthy weight gain — building weight and strength without resorting to junk — is a distinct programme, calibrated to the individual just as weight loss is.
09How quickly will I see results?
Most clients see measurable change within 2–3 weeks. Therapeutic improvements — in HbA1c, lipid profile or hormone levels — usually show over about three months of disciplined adherence.

PCOS, thyroid & women's health

Hormonal health and nutrition across a woman's life.

01Can PCOS be managed with diet?
For many women, diet is the single most effective intervention for PCOS — because it addresses the insulin resistance that drives the condition. Diet is often combined with the right exercise; some women also need medication, and a clinical dietitian will be honest about what your case needs.
02What is the best diet for PCOS?
A low-glycaemic, adequate-protein, anti-inflammatory plan built from whole Indian foods — millets, pulses, vegetables, curd, eggs, fish, nuts and good fats — with refined sugar and refined flour sharply reduced. It must be personalised to your labs.
03How long does a PCOS diet take to show results?
Energy and sugar cravings often improve within 2–3 weeks. Cycle regularity, skin and hair changes usually take three to six months of consistent eating.
04I have lean PCOS — do I still need a diet plan?
Yes. Lean PCOS still involves insulin and inflammation even when weight is normal. The plan then focuses on glycaemic control, protein and anti-inflammatory foods rather than weight loss.
05Can a thyroid diet plan replace my medication?
No. A thyroid diet plan works alongside thyroxine or other prescribed medication — it supplies the nutrients the thyroid depends on and eases symptoms, but medication remains your doctor's domain.
06Why is it hard to lose weight with hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism slows metabolism, so the body burns fewer calories at rest. Weight loss is genuinely slower, which is why the plan is calibrated, patient and sustainable rather than aggressive.
07Do you provide pregnancy and post-partum nutrition?
Yes. Pregnancy nutrition supports mother and baby through each trimester; post-partum nutrition supports recovery, breastfeeding and a safe, steady return to health.
08Can I lose weight while breastfeeding?
Yes, safely — but the plan must supply enough energy and nutrients to protect milk supply and the mother's own stores. Weight comes down through gentle, steady changes, never sharp restriction.

Diabetes & chronic conditions

Therapeutic diets for diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol and more.

01Can a diabetes diet plan lower my HbA1c?
Yes. Because HbA1c reflects roughly three months of average blood sugar, consistent disciplined eating commonly produces meaningful improvement within one quarterly cycle. The plan is built and revised with this marker in view.
02Can diabetics eat rice and roti?
Yes, in controlled portions and the right pairings. Rice is taken in a small measured quantity with protein and vegetables; high-fibre grains and millets are used alongside. Portion size and pairing matter more than banning a food.
03Does a diet plan replace diabetes or blood pressure medication?
No. A diet plan works alongside your doctor and any prescribed medication. As blood sugar or blood pressure improves, your doctor may review your medication — that decision belongs to your treating physician.
04Can diet alone lower high cholesterol?
For many people, diet produces a meaningful drop in LDL and triglycerides within two to three months. Whether diet alone is sufficient depends on your numbers and risk profile — a decision for your doctor, working with the better lab values the diet provides.
05What is the most powerful dietary change for high blood pressure?
Reducing hidden sodium — from achaar, papad, namkeen, packaged and processed foods — is the single most powerful change, alongside building potassium-rich foods like fruit, vegetables and curd.
06Can fatty liver be reversed with diet?
In its early stages, non-alcoholic fatty liver is often reversible, and diet is the central tool. Steady weight loss — even a 7–10% reduction in body weight — can significantly reduce liver fat, confirmed by your doctor's tests.
07What foods should I avoid with high uric acid?
Organ meats, red meat and certain seafood (high in purines), alcohol — beer especially — and sugary, fructose-heavy drinks and foods. Generous hydration and a largely plant-based Indian plate help lower it.
08Is there a standard kidney diet?
No. A renal diet must be individual — protein, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and fluid targets change entirely with the stage of kidney disease and whether dialysis is involved. A kidney diet plan is always built strictly with your nephrologist.

Indian diet & everyday nutrition

Practical answers on Indian food and healthy eating.

01Is the Indian thali a healthy meal?
A traditional thali is well balanced — it pairs a complex carbohydrate, a protein and fibre source, a cooked vegetable, a probiotic and raw fibre. The common problems are portion sizes, cooking-oil quantity, timing, and the snacks eaten between meals — not the thali itself.
02How many meals a day should I eat?
For most people, three balanced meals with one or two sensible snacks works well — but meal frequency is set individually, based on your condition, schedule and goal. Long fasting gaps that trigger overeating are generally avoided.
03Are millets better than wheat and rice?
Millets such as bajra, jowar and ragi are high in fibre and have a gentler effect on blood sugar, which makes them valuable in weight, diabetes and PCOS plans. They work best used alongside wheat and rice, not as a complete replacement — variety matters.
04Is ghee bad for health?
No — ghee in measured amounts is part of a healthy Indian diet and is included in most plans. The issue is quantity. A controlled spoonful is fine; the problem is the slow, unmeasured creep of cooking fat across the day.
05Should I cut carbohydrates completely to lose weight?
No. Cutting whole food groups is what makes diets fail. Carbohydrates are controlled in portion and paired with protein and fibre — not eliminated. Sustainable weight loss keeps roti, rice and dal on the plate.
06Are vegetarian diets adequate for protein?
Yes, when built deliberately. Dal, rajma, chana, paneer, curd, soya, sprouts and milk together supply adequate protein. A vegetarian plan simply has to be designed with protein in mind rather than left to chance.
07Is fruit juice a healthy choice?
Whole fruit is preferable to juice. Juicing removes most of the fibre and concentrates the sugar, which raises blood sugar faster. Most plans favour whole seasonal fruit in measured portions over juice.
08How much water should I drink a day?
Adequate hydration matters for almost every condition, and needs rise in hot weather, with activity, and for conditions like uric acid and kidney stones. A specific target is set individually rather than assumed from a single number.
09Do I need supplements?
Supplements are recommended only when a genuine, lab-confirmed deficiency exists — such as iron, vitamin D or B12. Most nutrients are best obtained from everyday food, and the plan is built to deliver them that way.
10Will a diet plan work with my regional cuisine?
Yes. Plans are built around your specific regional kitchen — Punjabi, Bengali, South Indian, Gujarati, Maharashtrian and others. Every regional cuisine has condition-friendly staples; the plan uses yours, which is why it lasts.
