Guides

Evidence-led guides on low-carb nutrition, metabolic health, weight management and muscle preservation. Each one answers a question people actually ask, explains what is going on behind the answer, and says where the evidence is mixed rather than pretending it is settled.

Every guide is written by Priyanka Chanana and rests on current guidelines and research, kept in plain English rather than written up as a paper. Nutrition support runs alongside medical care rather than replacing it.

Weight loss and calories

• Calories In vs Calories Out: What the Science Actually Says
  Energy balance is real, but both sides of the equation move and neither is measured well. What controlled-feeding trials actually found, and why the same deficit behaves differently in two people.
• Why Am I Not Losing Weight Even Though I Eat Very Little?
  Five reasons the scale stalls when you are eating very little, what the evidence says about each, and how to work out which one applies to you.

Low-carb and carbohydrates

• How Many Carbohydrates Should You Eat Per Day?
  There is no single carb number that suits everyone. What actually decides yours, what counts as low-carb, and where the carbs sit on an Indian plate.
• Low-Carb vs Keto: What’s the Difference and Which One Do You Need?
  Low-carb and keto are not the same thing. What ketosis actually is, why being in it does not guarantee fat loss, and which approach fits a real Indian plate.

Everyday food questions

• Vegetarian protein on a low-carb plan
  Dal is where most Indian vegetarian plates look for protein, and on a low-carb plan it is the wrong place to look. Where the protein actually is, and what to build a plate around instead.
• Are eggs safe if you have high cholesterol?
  Plenty of people give up eggs the moment a report comes back high. What the research now says, and what on the plate is more likely to be the problem.

What is coming next

The library is being built cluster by cluster. Next up: whether keto really means unlimited fat, protein targets during weight loss, and how to lose fat without losing muscle. After that, metabolic health, fatty liver, cholesterol on low-carb, intermittent fasting and GLP-1 nutrition.

If you have a question you would like answered here, send it in. Most of these guides started as a client question.

Work with Priyanka

Reading is a start. If you want this applied to your own routine and the way you actually eat, the Discovery Call is where that begins, and the nutrition support packages set out what ongoing work looks like.
