About Purva

Dietetics came naturally to me! Food is an image of my own thinking, my own world. Looking back in time, I can today trace my steps when I was in 11^th grade, playing with numbers or solving complex calculus equations was not meant for me. I choose to follow my dreams and took up my Bachelor’s degree in Home Science followed by Masters in Food and Nutrition and Post graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Nutrition, to keep my hunger for food and knowledge at the level of satiety.

I took my exam of APD (Accredited Practising Dietitian) and cleared it to be a practicing dietitian at Melbourne. Beginning my journey at Melbourne, life twists again and I was back in Delhi. Where I started working with one of the largest specialized Bariatric Centre in the heart of New Delhi. It was during my tenure of working with this truly talented team lead by a Surgeon of Excellence- Dr Atul Peters and Dr Yogesh Gautam, I gained a deep insight that shaped me into a Baraitric Dietitian.I love each day of my work. Adding to the feather in my cap, I applied to be an accredited BCS (Bariatric Care Specialist), a new program launched by SRC (Surgical Review Corporation). Getting accredited and recognized for my contribution at work was overwhelming.

In today’s era, when all the information is easily accessible over the internet, finding authentic information is a challenge. I will make sure that I do the research part (boring part) and provide you with genuine information in a very motivating and interesting manner… so I leave the fun part for you!!

Not a bad deal, is it??

Cooking is my passion and a stress buster. Being a mom of a 10 yr old and a wife of a foodie husband, innovation in the kitchen is an ongoing process. And my profession makes sure I take care of the nutritional factor of the final product.
At Diet Yumm I will make sure I share diet recipes which are yummy as well as healthy. So this will be a platform which will talk about nutrition and taste, simultaneously.

After working with bariatric patients I feel, they need a lot of guidance and help post surgery. Hence, at Diet Yumm you will get information and awareness about your diet and lifestyle that will be very useful to you post bariatric surgery!
