Hello,

I am Dr. Suneet Khanna, I am your Diet doctor. Who is a diet doctor? A doctor who is qualified M.B.B.S. with a special interest in nutrition over qualification in nutrition.

Is he similar to a dietician? Yes. 

What is my forte’? My forte’ is making people lose weight and also giving people a therapeutic diet. Diets related to PCOS, diets related to diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, etc.

What is the prerequisite of diet doctor? Besides qualifications, he needs to be experienced with lots of people he might have seen. Punctuality is a forte’ of a diet doctor. If the diet doctor is not punctual, he is not going to instill discipline in the patients who come to him for weight loss, beyond that he has to be fit himself, if we are not fit, we are not motivating other people. He has to be a good communicator, we need to be good communicators, good counsullers who can influence diet program onto patients who come to us for weight loss or for therapeutic diets. Beyond that, it’s very important for us that we need to be achievers if we are achievers we make our patients achieve what they have in mind. So, guys, I am signing off today. 

Thank you so much.
