Alia Bhatt's nutritionist guarantees this weight loss diet plan is the only one that always works

Losing weight often feels confusing with the endless stream of diets and trends flooding the internet. From high-fat meals to juice cleanses, it can be hard to know what actually works. Dr. Siddhant Bhargava, a well-known celebrity nutritionist who has guided stars like Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, and Sara Ali Khan, has clarified that the most effective way to lose weight is not through trendy diets but by creating a calorie deficit.

As explained by him in a YouTube Short, whether one chooses to reduce food intake or increase physical activity, the common factor that ensures weight loss is the body consuming fewer calories than it uses.

Calorie Deficit: Simple Science Behind Weight Loss
Dr. Bhargava, who co-founded the health-focused meal service app Food Darzee and is also a qualified medical doctor, emphasized that weight loss fundamentally depends on maintaining a calorie deficit. He explained that no matter which diet someone chooses — whether it is high-fat, low-carb, or intermittent fasting — it will only lead to weight loss if it creates a situation where the body is burning more calories than it is consuming.

In his words, the body starts using stored fat for energy when there aren’t enough calories from food to meet its energy demands. This results in gradual weight loss. Bhargava stressed that understanding this core principle is more important than chasing temporary or extreme diet fads.

No “Magic” Diet—Only the Right Approach
He further added that many people wrongly believe there is a single “best” or magical diet plan that works for everyone. However, he highlighted that sustainable weight loss doesn't come from copying celebrity routines or following every new diet trend on the internet. Instead, people should adopt a diet that fits their lifestyle and helps them stay in a calorie deficit consistently.

Bhargava also pointed out that a deficit can be achieved in more than one way. Some people may prefer eating less, while others may focus more on exercising to burn extra calories. Either approach is valid as long as the overall goal — creating that deficit — is being met.

With years of experience in treating clients, Dr. Bhargava has built a reputation in the health and wellness space. His advice comes not only from medical training but also from working directly with people aiming for fitness goals, including Bollywood celebrities.
