This book is by the nutrition and lifestyle expert responsible for the remarkable transformation of actor Taapsee Pannu for her upcoming film Rashmi Rocket
We are proud to announce the acquisition of award-winning nutritionist and celebrated lifestyle consultant, Munmun Ganeriwal’s debut book, titled ‘Yuktahaar: The Belly and Brain Diet’. This self-help book, unlike others, pushes the focus away from ourself and towards our gut. A radical approach to health and diet that has assisted many to change the way they have been looking at themselves and their lifestyles. This revolutionary new self-help book will be released under Penguin imprint in December 2021.
With the world inundated with fads and trends to lose weight and become healthy, it is important to consider why one trend keeps replacing another and why none of these seem long-lasting and effective. Having spent considerable time in evaluating their efficiency and thoroughly understanding the story of weight loss, chronic illness and mental health, all of which are connected to our human-gut, Ganeriwal comes with a rich body of experience and research. This book is an outcome of her studies of the human-gut microbiome connection and finds validation from many known personalities across the globe, personally consulted by the expert herself. This book also has a detailed look at Taapsee Pannu’s diet plan which has served the actress well as she prepared for her portrayal as a sportswoman in her new movie.
According to Munmun, the reason why none of the diets in the past have seemed to work and why we see a surge in obesity and diseases is because for long, really long, we have only focused on the host — that is yourselves. Talking about why she wrote this book, she says, ‘The primary reason to write this book was to educate people and in this age of fast-moving newsfeeds and junk science, I wanted to bring out facts without any bias’. She goes on to explain that ‘this book is for anyone looking to improve their health with weight loss as a by-product. It is age and gender agnostic and I will recommend this to anyone who has a pulse and can read. The book is a result of my hard work, research and expertise gained after 19 years of working with people across all walks of life. I am excited to have Penguin Random House India as partners for my debut book. Couldn’t have asked for more!’
Commissioning editor at Penguin Random House India, Shreya Punj, says, ‘Yuktahaar is a book that focuses on the science of good health while giving actionable steps that take you closer to holistic well-being. In her ten-week programme, Munmun will forever change your understanding of your gut, its reaction to the food you consume and help you better understand the reasons behind poor metabolism and weight gain. Her approach is solution oriented and combines the wisdom of traditional Indian Ayurveda with evidence-based science.’
