FAQ
Health & Nutrition
General Nutrition
Do I need to cut out carbs to lose weight?
No! Carbs are your body’s main source of energy. At NutriCrave, we focus on balanced portions of carbs, proteins, fats, and fiber. Instead of cutting out food groups, we teach you how to enjoy them in the right way.
Are “detox teas” or crash diets safe?
No. They may cause quick weight loss but also nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, and rebound weight gain. Sustainable, balanced eating is the safest and most effective method
Do I need supplements to be healthy?
Not always. A well-balanced diet usually covers most needs. Supplements may be considered if you have deficiencies (like Vitamin D or B12) or special health conditions, but they should never replace real food.
Weight Loss & Fitness
. How many calories should I eat to lose weight?
Calorie needs depend on your body, lifestyle, and goals. That’s why all NutriCrave plans are customized—we don’t use “one-size-fits-all” formulas.
Can I still lose weight if I don’t exercise?
Yes, weight loss starts with nutrition. Exercise helps with fitness, metabolism, and toning, but even without workouts, a tailored plan can bring results
Do I need to eat six small meals a day to lose weight?
Not at all! Whether you eat 3 big meals or 6 smaller ones, what matters is your total daily intake and balance of nutrients.
Special Conditions
Do you make meal plans for medical conditions like PCOS or diabetes?
Yes. We design condition-specific plans that balance blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support hormone health while still being enjoyable and realistic.
Is pregnancy nutrition different from regular nutrition?
Yes. Pregnancy requires extra iron, folate, calcium, and protein. Our pregnancy plans are trimester-specific to support both mom and baby safely.
Can kids follow diet plans too?
Absolutely—but with extra care. Child nutrition plans focus on growth, energy, and brain development. We create family-friendly meals kids actually enjoy.
Myths & Misconceptions
Will eating late at night make me gain weight?
No. Weight gain happens from excess calories, not the time you eat. What matters is your overall daily balance
Is low-fat food always healthier?
Not always. Healthy fats (like nuts, seeds, avocado, and olive oil) are essential for hormones, skin, and brain health. The key is portion control.
Can I eat my favorite foods like biryani or pizza on a diet?
Yes! At NutriCrave, we include your favorite meals in smart portions so you never feel restricted. Balance beats deprivation.
Lifestyle & Mindset
Do cheat days ruin progress?
Not if they’re controlled. Cheat days can boost motivation and prevent binge eating. Our plans include balanced rest/cheat days to keep you on track.
How important is hydration in weight loss?
Very! Water supports digestion, metabolism, and appetite control. We recommend 2–3 liters daily, adjusted for your activity level.
How long before I see results?
Most clients notice changes in 2–4 weeks with consistency. However, results vary depending on your body, plan type, and commitment.
Child Nutrition
General Guidance
Why is child nutrition so important?
Nutrition during childhood directly affects growth, learning, immunity, and long-term health. Balanced meals now build strong foundations for your child’s future.
At what age should I start paying attention to structured nutrition?
From the very beginning. Even toddlers benefit from balanced meal patterns, while school-age children need proper nutrition to support energy, focus, and healthy growth.
Do kids need the same “diet plans” as adults?
No. Kids are still growing, so strict diets aren’t safe. At NutriCrave, we create kid-friendly, balanced plans that encourage variety without restriction
Picky Eaters & Habits
My child is a picky eater. Can you help?
Yes! We design flexible plans with simple swaps and creative meal ideas to ensure your child enjoys their food while still meeting nutrition needs.
Should I force my child to eat vegetables?
Forcing can backfire. Instead, we focus on introducing veggies in fun, hidden, and tasty ways that make kids more open to trying them.
How can I reduce my child’s sugar intake?
We provide healthier snack alternatives and strategies for balanced treats so kids don’t feel deprived but still cut down on excess sugar.
Growth & Development
How do I know if my child is getting enough nutrition?
Signs of good nutrition include steady growth, energy, focus, and strong immunity. During your consultation, we review growth charts and eating patterns to ensure balance.
Do children need supplements like vitamins or protein shakes?
Not always. Most kids can get their needs from real food. Supplements may be considered only if there’s a deficiency, which we assess case by case.
Will a child nutrition plan help with better concentration in school?
Yes. Foods rich in protein, omega-3s, and complex carbs support brain development and attention span, improving learning and focus.
Lifestyle & Family
Do you make separate meals for kids or family-style plans?
Both options are available. Many parents prefer family-friendly meal plans so everyone eats healthier together, making life easier.
Can kids still have fast food or treats?
Yes, in moderation. We believe in balance, not restriction. Plans include room for occasional treats so kids develop a healthy relationship with food.
How do your child nutrition plans work?
After a consultation, we design a personalized 2- 4-week plan (with fun recipes, portion guidance, and healthy snack ideas). Parents also get ongoing support to make the plan easy to follow.
