Abirami S Shakthivel has an intimate relationship with food. As a former weightlifter and now a mother, she has experienced first-hand the effect of diet on one’s overall well-being. And she is determined to share the tips she has picked up about healthy eating through her Tiruchi-based cloud kitchen K Noms, which specialises in customised low-calorie diet menus and snacks.
“I was a weightlifter in college, so I did have a basic understanding of fitness and diet early on. But things changed after I graduated and became busy trying to develop my career. When I suffered a miscarriage six months after my marriage, my weight shot up to 120 kilograms. This is when I started researching my problematic relationship with food,” says Abirami.
