FARIHA, AGE 51, TOOK CONTROL OF HER BUSY WORK LIFE BY ADDING CONSISTENCY TO HER DIET

Fariha struggled managing her weight her entire life and when she turned 51, her demanding career as a forensic scientist, combined with menopause, created the perfect storm. Since her position requires her to be on-call, she had always lacked the routine necessary to prioritize exercise and diet. To make matters worse, when menopause hit, her health was impacted even more. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Fariha found herself especially exhausted and at her heaviest weight ever.

Everytime she looked in the mirror, her growing thighs, belly, and upper arms served as instant reminders of how unhappy she was, the weight she needed to lose, and most importantly, the health she longed for.

Desperate for change, she tried short stints of intermittent fasting, Mediterranean diets, and cutting out sugar, but no matter what she tried, nothing worked. Since her profession was so unpredictable, she decided to shift her attention to aspects of her life she could control— like her diet.

Her decision to sign up for Masala Body’s 8-Week Slim Down Jumpstart program, led to results she’d never imagined possible. In just 8 weeks, Fariha dropped 11 pounds, melted 2” from her bust, shed 2” from her hips, and 1.5” from her thighs.

Collaborating with her online weight loss coach, they tailored a personalized fat-burning framework, sustainable meal plan, and routine that addressed Fariha's specific needs and objectives. First Fariha started with small changes. Instead of eating her typical two meals a day, she made a point to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As the weeks progressed, she established convenient meal-preparation routines, explored a variety of satisfying and tasty recipes that could be prepared ahead of time and consumed on the go, and mastered the art of portion control through food pairing techniques.
