Indian Dietitian Online for Families in the USA
From New Jersey to the Bay Area, Indian families in the United States cook dal and roti at home but eat American portions at work. Dt. Himani Sharma, a clinical dietitian with 14+ years of practice in India, builds diet plans that keep your home food and fit an American schedule — by video call and WhatsApp, without a waiting list or a referral.

Consultation times in the USA
Video calls run Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 9 pm India time (IST). Here is what that means where you live:
| Where you are | Call window (your local time) |
|---|---|
| East Coast (New York, New Jersey, Atlanta) | about 11:30 pm – 11:30 am (10:30 pm – 10:30 am in winter) |
| Central (Chicago, Dallas, Houston) | about 10:30 pm – 10:30 am (9:30 pm – 9:30 am in winter) |
| West Coast (Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle) | about 8:30 pm – 8:30 am (7:30 pm – 7:30 am in winter) |
In practice East Coast clients usually book an early-morning slot before work, and West Coast clients pick an evening call the night before. Day-to-day questions go on WhatsApp whenever it suits you.
Indian food the American way — without the American portions
Most cities with a large Indian community have a Patel Brothers, an India Cash & Carry or a local Indian grocer, and Costco and Walmart now stock basmati, ghee, chana and masoor dal. So the plan rarely needs substitutes. What it does need is portion control: an American dinner plate is far bigger than a thali, and restaurant curries are often made with cream and much more oil than you would use at home.
Plans account for the things that quietly add up in the US — sweetened coffee creamers, bagels and muffins at the office, large takeout portions, weekend potlucks and long drives where the car becomes the dining table. Each is swapped for something practical rather than banned.
| You need | Where to find it in USA |
|---|---|
| Atta, millet flours, dals | Patel Brothers, India Cash & Carry, Apna Bazar, Amazon |
| Paneer, dahi, ghee | Indian grocers; Costco and Walmart carry ghee and Greek yoghurt |
| Methi, lauki, tinda | Indian grocers; frozen packs where fresh is scarce |
Why Indian-origin adults in the US need a different plan
People of South Asian origin tend to develop type 2 diabetes and heart disease at a lower body weight than other groups. That is why the American Diabetes Association recommends screening Asian Americans at a BMI of 23 rather than 25. A plan written for the general US population misses this. Dt. Himani reads your HbA1c, fasting sugar, lipid profile and thyroid results and plans around them.
PCOS, hypothyroidism and fatty liver are the other conditions she sees most often in clients from the US, along with steady weight gain in the first years after moving.
