Struggle with PCOS that led her to study nutrition

Foods she enjoys

Growing up, Sara shared that they were influenced by different cultures due to their mixed heritage. “I have grown up with a lot of Maharashtrian food at home, but we eat everything. All of us are foodies. My mother is half Gujarati, half British. My grandmother, who is British, always cooked for us. My paternal grandmother loves Maharashtrian food. So it’s always a mix of things for us.”

Sara’s cheat meal

Sara shared she cheats often as she loves food, and since she travels frequently, eating clean is practically not possible for her. Sharing her cheat meal, she said, “Cheese dosa is my go-to comfort and also pizza.”

Protein-packed smoothies she loves

Sara, who owns a Pilates studio, has an elaborate beverage bar with her own smoothie recipes. She made one with fruits, vanilla powder, yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder, adding several ice cubes and then blending it. She is also a big lover of matcha and often enjoys it with her lunch.

Sara’s key to staying healthy

On the show, Sara said, “I am not following any diet. I try to be as low-carb as possible, and I try to avoid sugar.” She also added that she believes while it’s important to eat right and work out, the former is more important for weight loss and staying healthy.
