Chennai Docs Launch Cloud Kitchen Serving Keto-Paleo Meals, Help 150 Lose Weight #IndiaNEWS #Chennai
What started as a diet plan by a dermatologist to move towards a healthier lifestyle now caters to 150 clients in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Dr Karthik Raja, 30, got together with Dr Mohammed M, 35, to simplify and source raw materials for these diets to help others lead a healthy lifestyle too.
While diets such as Keto or Paleo focus on increasing fat and protein consumption and reducing the intake of carbohydrates and sugars, they are proven ineffective unless they’re followed to the T.
However, key ingredients in these diets such as almond flour, an alternative to regular flour, are not easily found.
This is what pushed the two doctors from Chennai to launch a healthy meal service called ‘Keto Kadai’.
“The cloud-kitchen was officially launched in December 2020, and we have over 100 people who have subscribed to the meal plans. Our food is not 100 per cent Keto. It is based on a Paleo diet to achieve Ketosis. This means the fats and proteins are derived from natural substances such as animal fat and includes consumption of natural sugars from fruits rather than using substitutes,??? Dr Karthik tells The Better India.

A self-improvement plan
Dr Karthik, a dermatologist with over 10 years of experience runs a clinic in the city and teaches at a University in Chennai. Five years ago, he started following a strict diet to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
He says, “I focussed on a Paleo diet to achieve Ketosis because I did not want to follow an authentic Keto-based diet to allow for more natural ingredients in my diet. After doing a basic health checkup, I figured out the meals I would eat and prepared a plan for myself. Within a few months of keeping up with my diet, I noticed a drastic change in my body, skin, and overall health. My blood sugar and blood pressure levels were stabilised and I felt energetic throughout the day. ???
On seeing positive results for himself, he further suggested that his mother and sister follow the same. While it was initially hard for them to follow a strict diet and avoid their regular food like rice or roti, Dr Karthik ensured he regularly altered their weekly meals plans so that they would have a variety of dishes to eat.
Soon, he started prescribing meal plans to his friends, and some clients who would visit his clinic.
“Before I prescribed a meal plan, I would ask them to take a blood test to check their sugar, thyroid, and other important vitals. Based on that I would chart out a meal plan,??? says Karthik, adding that his clients would follow the diet for a few months but switched back to regular meals as they couldn’t cook regularly.
