Her passion towards a healthier lifestyle for hersel

f and her family, led her to the eld of Nutrition. Her mission is to inspire, educate, and provide clarity on what's happening in one's body and further helping them to achieve a better state of health and well-being. She is devoted to teaching her clients nutrition through whole foods in an easy, friendly, non-intimidating way. Her goal is for her clients to facilitate their own journey towards achieving optimum health. She looks at individual needs and their individual nutritional prole and makes recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and supplemental recommendations accordingly. My story:
Sujata Kale-Banerjea, is passionate about her new life style that she has adapted. She believes that she has made a positive impact on those around her. She loves to help people who are ready to make positive changes and hopes to motivate people who need that extra push. Before going into nutrition she primarily worked in the dental eld as a Treatment Co-Ordinator for over 13 years. She enjoyed her job of educating and creating awareness about the importance of dental health. Sujata is a loving wife and a mother of 2 beautiful girls, who always made a conscious effort to keep t with exercise. Until a few years ago she realized that age was catching up with her and exercise was not the only thing that would keep her t and healthy. Her body had taken a huge toll from life and she did not understand the impact of that toll until she looked into the mirror one day. The image in the mirror did not match the image Sujata had of herself in her mind. And that's when she decided that the Yoyo - dieting was not for her anymore and she really needed to do something different. She also realized that changing her lifestyle was not just about her weight but was also about ensuring a healthy environment for herself and her family. This is when she needed to understand how nutrition can play a huge role in being healthy. The passion for a healthy lifestyle geared her towards the field of holistic nutrition. She now knows that, apart from food - hormones, sleep and work-life balance are the foundations of a healthy life. She knows that her health is her future. That being healthy is to celebrate life and make every moment count.

74 kg → 61 kg. But that’s only one part of Gita’s story. ❤️

When Gita started her journey with me in April, her goal wasn’t simply weight loss. She wanted to feel better.

She was struggling with fatigue, joint aches and pains, skin concerns, low stamina and that feeling of simply not having enough energy. Her meals were also very different from the three balanced, nourishing meals she eats today.

Now, at 70+, she tells me she feels stronger, more energetic and has so much more stamina and endurance. She’s travelling with friends, climbing stairs, exploring places and enjoying experiences that once felt much harder.

And yes, she has gone from 74 kg to 61 kg, but I think the biggest transformation is seeing her regain that vitality and zest for life. ❤️

A very special thank you to her daughter, Tejal, who originally reached out to me and has been Gita’s partner and cheerleader throughout this journey. Having that kind of support can make such a difference, and this truly feels like a mother-daughter success story. ❤️

Gita, you did the work. You made the choices, meal after meal, day after day. And watching you feel younger, stronger and more capable has been an absolute joy.

, and

Because sometimes the best “before and after” isn’t what you see in the photograph. It’s what you can do with your life again. ❤️

This weekend I made my version of crispy fried chicken, baked fries and a fresh salad on the side. 😋

🍗 Crispy Chicken
I sliced chicken breast and marinated it with garlic, salt, Italian herbs and fresh lemon zest.

For the crunch, I crushed organic corn tostadas and seasoned the crumbs with paprika, salt and more herbs.

Coat the chicken into the flax egg, and then coat with the seasoned tostada crumbs, then pan-fry in a little hot oil. I used ghee. Cook on both sides until golden, then finish in the convection oven for about 5–7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken, for that extra crispy texture.

🍟 Easy Baked Fries
Julienne the potatoes, season with oregano, salt and a little oil, then bake in the convection oven until golden and crispy.

You can soak cut potatoes in water first to remove some surface starch and create a crispier fry, but I usually skip this step. I prefer keeping it simple and avoiding unnecessary soaking of vegetables when I can.

🥗 Add a nice fresh salad on the side and ENJOY!

Eating for your health doesn’t mean you can’t have your comfort foods.

Sometimes you just need to make them a little differently. 💛

This feels like a little anniversary for me ❤️

More than a decade ago, Evelyn Fraser was the very first client who gave me permission to share her transformation photos publicly.

I had received beautiful written testimonials and cards before then, which I treasured, but having permission to actually show a client’s journey felt like such a milestone in my practice.

And today, after such a long time, I’m so excited to share another beautiful transformation. ❤️

Marlize Correra started with me in May 2026 and is now more than 12 kg down!

I am incredibly proud of her hard work, consistency and commitment.

And it brings me to something I hear from women over 40 ALL the time:

“It’s so much harder to lose weight now.”

Is it really? And if it is… why?

More on that in the comments 👇🏽❤️

It’s been a little quiet here lately, but I’m back with something that happened in my kitchen that was too good not to share. 🍕😊

Two hard slices of sourdough rye bread turned into pizza!

I softened them with hot water, squeezed out all the water through cheesecloth and, completely by accident, ended up with a little ball of “dough.”

And being the pizza lover that I am…of course I made pizza! 😂

Pressed it thin, baked it until firm, added my cheese and veggie toppings and baked again.

One little Metabolic Balance-friendly pizza + a big salad = a perfect lunch for my husband and me.

Eating well doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. Sometimes you just have to get a little creative. ❤️

🍅 Homemade sauce with cherry tomatoes, garlic, Redmond Real Salt and just a touch of honey
🧅 Caramelized onions
🧀 Feta cheese

Back into the oven until everything came together beautifully.

Two slices of leftover sourdough rye transformed into a delicious little Metabolic Balance-friendly pizza, served with a big salad. Perfect lunch for my husband and me.

Simple, real food. No waste. And a very happy pizza lover. 🍕❤️

What a transformation!!!

Just finished a beautiful Vinyasa flow and some strength training… and on my walk home, I had to share this. 💪🧘‍♀️

As a nutritionist, I constantly get calls from people saying:

“I’m eating healthy.”
“I’m working out.”
“I’m doing everything right.”
“So why am I not losing weight?”

Here’s the thing: exercise is incredibly important, but more exercise doesn’t automatically mean more weight loss.

If the body is already under physiological stress or dealing with inflammation, poor recovery, blood sugar dysregulation, hormonal changes, or nutrient deficiencies, pushing harder in the gym may not give you the result you expect.

Your metabolism needs the right nutrients to make enzymes and support hormones. And enzymes are the catalysts that allow thousands of metabolic reactions to happen efficiently in the body.

So sometimes the answer isn’t work out harder or eat less.

It’s asking a better question:

What does my body actually need in order to function better?

Movement matters. Strength matters. Muscle matters.
But so do nourishment, recovery, sleep, stress, hormones and your individual body chemistry.

Weight loss isn’t simply a calorie-and-exercise equation. It’s a metabolic conversation. 🌿

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared a recipe, and this one was too good not to share!

This Green Moong Dosa is one of those simple recipes that reminds me how nourishing real food can be.

Made with soaked whole green moong, cumin seeds, green chilli, and just a small amount of leftover cooked and cooled rice. Yes, leftover rice! I often get asked why I would add rice, and here’s the science behind it.

When rice is cooked, cooled, and then used later, some of its starch is converted into resistant starch. This type of starch isn’t fully digested in the small intestine. Instead, it nourishes our beneficial gut bacteria, supports gut health, and may help improve blood sugar responses as part of a balanced diet. As a bonus, it also gives the dosa a beautifully soft texture.

I paired it with a flavourful radish chutney made with channa and urad daal, daikon radish, onion, ginger garlic, dried red chilies, curry leaves, mustard seeds, cumin, tamarind or tomato, and a few simple spices. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavour!

Green Moong Dosa
• Soak whole green moong overnight.
• Blend with cumin seeds, green chilli, ginger and a small amount of leftover cooked and cooled rice until smooth.
• Add water as needed to make a pourable batter.
• Cook like a thin pancake on a hot pan until crisp and golden.

Simple ingredients. Traditional wisdom. Science-backed nutrition.

Have you ever used leftover cooked and cooled rice in your dosa batter? I’d love to hear your favourite variations in the comments!

Give a Punjabi girl a tablespoon of ghee… and she’ll make Mathri!” 😄

One of my wonderful Metabolic Balance clients shared this idea in our private community, and I couldn’t resist giving it a try. Thank you, Priya Arora Bhasin , for the inspiration and the photo on my group of metabolic balance clients! ❤️

Traditionally, mathri is made with refined flour and deep fried. This Metabolic Balance-inspired version uses rye flour, is baked instead of fried, and can even be adapted for the strict phase by simply leaving out the ghee.

I’m already thinking my next batch may include a little rye sourdough culture to add natural fermentation, a subtle tang, and potentially improve digestibility. Stay tuned… 😊

Recipes like these remind us that healthy eating doesn’t have to mean giving up the foods we love. Sometimes it simply means reimagining them.

✨ The recipe idea is in the comments.

Who knew a bowl of kale could make me this happy? 💚🌿

Caption

Sometimes the simplest meals are the ones that bring the biggest smile.

After what felt like forever, I finally found beautiful black kale at the Ponta do Sol Agricultural Expo here in Madeira. Add a basket of fresh herbs from a friend’s garden, and I couldn’t wait to get home.

The secret to a delicious kale salad? Massage it! A little olive oil and a pinch of salt help soften the leaves, making them tender, sweeter, and so much easier to enjoy.

I tossed mine with fresh parsley, fennel fronds, mint, garlic, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Lunch was complete with homemade hummus, fresh berries, and for the first time ever, sourdough sweet potato bread from the market.

Simple. Seasonal. Nourishing.

Sometimes the best recipes don’t come from a cookbook… they come from what’s growing around us and shared by friends. 💚

🌿 Today I turn 64

I feel incredibly grateful.

Not because life has been perfect, but because every season has taught me something worth sharing.

As I step into this new chapter, my hope is simple: to keep learning, keep serving, and keep showing up with kindness.

Thank you for being here. ❤️

✨ Gratitude tastes even better when it’s shared. 💚

This beautiful chayote was gifted to me by a dear friend here in Madeira, who is now also a wonderful client. It reminded me how food has a way of bringing people together and creating meaningful connections.

So, of course, it became Chayote Dal… a simple, nourishing bowl made with lentils, warming spices, and lots of gratitude.

Sometimes the most memorable meals aren’t the elaborate ones. They’re the ones with a story behind them.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Every bite was enjoyed. 🙏🏽

What’s the last ingredient someone gifted you that inspired a meal?
