This New Year, Opt for a Healthy Lifestyle with WellnessOn’s Meal Subscriptions

With various personalized meal plans and diet charts, WellnessOn delivers your usual dishes and snacks with healthier ingredients to your doorstep.

 

When Santhosh Manchala joined the leading weight loss company Weight Watchers in 2017, he did not imagine how it may change his and many others’ lives for good. Starting with no formal education and a meager salary of Rs 1500, Manchala went to the United States for work. While working at Weigh Watchers, he converted to a healthy diet and lifestyle after being diagnosed with pre-diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension at the age of 32. Understanding that changing and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is tough for many people out there, he founded WellnessOn to help resolve this problem for the users.


Working for Weight Watchers in the US, Manchala discovered their various weight loss solutions that included a severe change in eating habits. He also noted the success stories of millions of users which ultimately inspired him to start WellnessOn.


WellnessOn, based out of Hyderabad, is essentially a wellness and lifestyle platform that helps people convert to a healthy lifestyle. They have a weight loss app, give training for healthy habits, and a healthy kitchen that features homemade Indian dishes and even snacks.


The company uses the same Indian recipes but makes them healthier by simply changing a few things here and there. To start with, they replace some unhealthy ingredients with healthier options in some recipes. In some of the recipes, the food is cooked more healthily to promote better nutritional value. For example, excess fat or oil is avoided by adopting methods like cooking with a closed lid or using an air fryer, boiling, or steaming. They completely avoid sugar, food color, preservatives, additives in their kitchen. The use of butter or cream is replaced by nuts or seeds and completely healthy procedures are used to make, store and transport the food.

As per Manchala, one of the ways to maintain fitness and good health is by having a balanced meal. Going by this motto, WellnessOn makes sure that each meal of theirs is filled with the goodness of complex carbohydrates, proteins, and good fat in each meal. The inclusion of fresh fruits with breakfasts, use of minimum oil and fat, and addition of healthy substitutes in many dishes, make sure that the user gets a tasty, healthy, and filling meal. All the meals are distinctly designed as per the nutritional requirements of the individual user after identifying a target group. An expert chef curates the meals with whole grains, cereals, unpolished pulses, legumes, beans, fresh fruits, and vegetables.


The balanced nutritional values in the meals from WellnessOn help in the effective functioning of the body, keeping it free from health complications. For example, low or medium glycemic food from WellnessOn does not cause a sudden rise in blood glucose, reducing the risk of heart problems, diabetes, and other related issues. The high fiber content helps one remain full for a long time. A healthy meal also promotes good gut health and prevents issues like constipation.


One of the staples of Hyderabad, the Hyderabadi Biryani is a gastronomical delight. However, it is a fact that many times it cannot be completely healthy. WellnessOn tackles this problem head-on by replacing some of the ingredients of a Hyderabadi Biryani with healthier options. Using white paneer cubes, brown basmati rice, blanched salad, and cucumber raita, with carrot halwa and salan, WellnessOn makes the Hyderabadi Biryani a much healthier and tasty dish.

WellnessOn also has some great weight loss meal tips, solutions, meal plans, etc, that you can subscribe to. It includes healthy meals at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with various varieties of snacks, which is delivered to your doorstep. WellnessOn also proved nutritionist consultation, along with a food tracking app and a self-service portal where you can manage your subscription plan.


Apart from subscribed meals and meal plans, WellnessOn also has an online diet and fitness chart. It has tied up with Amazon and Flipkart to deliver healthy snacks to you for those mid-morning or early evening cravings.


First launched in Gachibowli, WellnessOn now has a kitchen in Manikonda and is looking to launch in Vasanthnagar, Kukatpally, in February next year. Manchala is looking to open at least 3 more kitchens in Hyderabad by the end of 2022. WellnessOn has tied up with Mygate to run a food truck to deliver healthy meal options to gated communities. It has also tied up with Swiggy and Zomato and gets a 4.1 rating constantly. With a 20% growth rate in orders and customer acquisition, the company has 80% retention.


Looking at the lucrative idea, the confidence on Santhosh and his broader vision for the company, WellnessON was able to raise funds from his NRI friends apart from his own bootstrapped funds. WellnessOn has now opened franchise applications across India and has been incubated at Nutrihub, IIMR Hyderabad, supported by Dayakar Rao CEO Nutrihub.

This New Year, WellnessOn is also launching detox, salad, and millet subscriptions at your doorstep.
