Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have a fat to fit transformation story, share with us how were you able to incorporate fitness into your life?
MS. Chef Meghna:
- Fitness defines me. I have been eating same breakfast & following the same eating schedule for last 4 years. While continuing my work-out schedule for 1.5 hours daily; I have lost 18 kg and have maintained the same for last couple of years.
- Being a vegetarian, my personal food is all vegetables, Tofu (for protein) cooked with salt, pepper & few drops of virgin coconut oil.
- No personal trainer & no protein shakes for me. Everything is generally organic pure vegetarian.

Inner health and beauty need to be accompanied, with a regular beauty and skin regime. Share with us your 5 key skincare and hair care tips.
MS. Chef Meghna:
- Skin care : Drink lot of water, Use Sunscreen lotion (with SPF) and avoid roaming in direct Sun light as much as possible- India is a very high on pollution & covering your face would easily keep you away from pimple, skin rash issues, retaining the natural glow. Wash your face regularly throughout the day; don’t let oil build up on the skin.
- Hair care : From young age, my mother ensured that there was oil put in my hair all the time, same habit I’ve developed in my daughter. But if you’re not up for that then at least ensure you get good warm oil massage in hair once a month. Use good branded products – even for coloring your hair – don’t settle for cheap. Always do conditioner whenever you shampoo your hair, that will keep your hair soft & manageable.

Share 5 tips for a new YouTube vlogger, who has just started out and wishes to make a mark?
Ms. Chef Meghna:
- Focus on the Quality content. Use good Quality camera. I know nowadays people use high end phones to shoot, but the in my experience a good 5D camera is what really differentiates your content from the others.
- Don’t have to copy anyone. Create your original content. People connect with you on many levels- across various aspects.
- Subtitles are must. People outside India will see your content. 20% of my viewership comes from outside subcontinent.
- Try and reply to comments; however negative or not so positive they may be. You win them; they could actually become your brand ambassadors.
- Keep it personal. We sometime rely on external agencies to do the legwork for us. I made that mistake in my initial period. But was quick to learn that external agencies do not share the same passion as you. And it’s best to have your career in your own hand.
