About Clinical Nutritionist Md. A H Pranto
In Bangladesh, many people live with health concerns that are strongly connected to food and lifestyle—such as weight gain, insulin resistance, tiredness, anemia-like weakness, irregular periods, PCOS, and difficulty in conception. These problems are not always solved by a “one diet for everyone.” They usually need a plan that matches the person’s daily life, work schedule, sleep habits, stress level, and family food culture.
Clinical Nutritionist Md. A H Pranto follows a functional and reproductive nutrition approach. In simple terms, this means he looks at why your body may be struggling—your food pattern, meal timing, protein intake, fiber, hydration, micronutrients, and lifestyle—then helps you build a step-by-step plan that you can actually follow.
His counselling style is friendly and practical. Patients often prefer guidance that respects familiar Bangladeshi meals (rice, roti, fish, dal, vegetables) while improving portions, balance, and consistency. The goal is to make changes that work long-term—especially for people who have tried strict diets and then regained weight.

Workplace & Professional Role
Clinical Nutritionist Md. A H Pranto is associated with KGN Medicare Ltd. and provides patient consultations at KGN Diagnostic & Consultation Center in Dhanmondi 02, Dhaka.
His role focuses on nutrition counselling—helping patients understand what to eat, how much to eat, and how to maintain healthier routines over time. Many patients seek help not only for “weight loss,” but also for improving energy, hormonal balance, reproductive health readiness, and metabolic well-being.
Areas of Expertise (What He Supports)
Nutrition counselling can be helpful for many everyday health concerns. Below are the common areas where patients often look for support from a functional and reproductive nutrition consultant.
1) Reproductive & Hormonal Nutrition Support
If you or your family are worried about hormonal changes or reproductive health, nutrition can play a supportive role by improving diet quality, stable meal timing, and key nutrients.
Patients often seek counselling for:
- PCOS/PCOD nutrition support (weight management, balanced meals, stable energy)
- Irregular periods and hormone-related lifestyle guidance
- Preconception nutrition for couples planning pregnancy
- Fertility-supportive food habits (for both men and women)
- Pregnancy nutrition guidance (food safety and balanced meals)
- Postpartum nutrition basics (recovery-friendly eating and energy support)
If you’re on a fertility journey and also need specialist medical care or investigation, you may find this helpful:
In Bangladesh, anemia among women of reproductive age remains a public health concern (around 36.7% among women 15–49 years). This makes food habits—iron-rich choices, vitamin C pairing, and overall diet balance—especially important for many families.
2) Functional Nutrition & Lifestyle-Focused Support
Many people come to a clinical nutritionist when they feel they are “doing everything but still not improving.” Functional-style counselling often focuses on patterns:
- Meal timing and consistency
- Protein and fiber adequacy
- Hydration habits
- Sleep and stress influence on cravings
- Practical meal planning for busy schedules
Common support areas include:
- Weight management (healthy fat loss and maintenance)
- Insulin resistance / prediabetes-style dietary support
- Energy and fatigue support through balanced eating
- Digestive comfort support (bloating/constipation-type patterns)
Diabetes is also a growing issue in Bangladesh. The International Diabetes Federation estimates adult diabetes prevalence around 13.2%—meaning many families now need sustainable, culturally appropriate meal guidance to protect long-term health.

3) Preventive Nutrition & Long-Term Health Habits
Preventive nutrition focuses on practical daily choices that reduce health risks over time. This may include:
- Bangladesh-friendly plate balance (carbs + protein + vegetables)
- Portion guidance without “starving”
- Healthier cooking methods
- Smart snacks for students and office-goers
- Food habit adjustments for people who eat outside frequently
What to Expect in a Consultation
Many people feel nervous before their first nutrition appointment—especially if they have tried many diets and feel guilty about “failing.” A good consultation should feel supportive, not judgmental.
First Visit: Understanding Your Real Life
During the first consultation, you can expect discussion on:
- Your main health goals (weight, hormonal balance, planning pregnancy, energy, etc.)
- Current eating pattern (meal times, breakfast habits, snacks, outside food)
- Work and sleep routine
- Physical activity level
- Any previous test reports you may have (if available)
The aim is to find what is realistic for you—not what is perfect on paper.
Personalized Plan: Simple and Actionable
Based on your needs, you may receive a plan such as:
- A personalized diet chart using foods that are available and affordable
- A weekly routine suggestion (meal timing + hydration + snack plan)
- Grocery and kitchen tips (how to stock easy healthy options)
- Guidance on eating out (office lunch, restaurants, family events)
If you are a busy person in Dhaka, the plan may focus on time-saving strategies—like simple breakfast options, smarter tea-time snacks, and balanced dinner portions.
Follow-up Support: Where Progress Happens
Most real improvements come through small adjustments over time. Follow-ups help:
- Track what is working and what is difficult
- Adjust portions based on hunger and progress
- Solve common problems (cravings, late-night eating, inconsistent routine)
- Keep motivation strong
Why Patients Choose This Approach
Patients often choose Clinical Nutritionist Md. A H Pranto because his counselling tends to be:
- Practical (fits Bangladeshi meals and schedules)
- Step-by-step (small changes that stick)
- Supportive for reproductive goals (planning pregnancy, PCOS-focused habits)
- Balanced and sustainable (not extreme dieting)
For many people, sustainable nutrition means: “I can follow it even during a busy week.” That is the type of routine most likely to bring long-term success.

Nutrition Guidance
Many diet plans fail because they ignore local habits. In Bangladesh, food is deeply connected to family and culture. A practical nutrition plan often focuses on:
- Keeping rice/roti but controlling portion and adding protein + vegetables
- Choosing affordable proteins (egg, fish, chicken, dal)
- Increasing seasonal vegetables and fiber
- Improving hydration and reducing sugary drinks
- Planning snacks to avoid junk cravings
Even simple steps—like adding a protein-based breakfast, eating vegetables first, or reducing sweet tea frequency—can create meaningful change over time.

Patient Safety & Responsible Care Note

- If you have severe symptoms, pregnancy complications, or chronic disease, continue regular follow-ups with your physician/specialist.
- If you are taking medications, never stop or change them without your doctor’s advice.
- Nutrition guidance works best when it complements your medical care and is followed consistently.
FAQs

What kind of patients usually consult Clinical Nutritionist Md. A H Pranto?
Patients commonly consult him for PCOS/PCOD and hormonal nutrition support, preconception/fertility readiness, pregnancy nutrition guidance, and sustainable weight management—especially when they want a plan that fits real Dhaka schedules and everyday Bangladeshi খাবার.
What makes his “Functional & Reproductive Nutrition” approach different?
His approach focuses on the why behind your problem—not only the what to eat. He reviews your meal timing, protein–fiber balance, cravings, sleep, stress, and consistency, then builds a step-by-step routine that is realistic to follow. For reproductive nutrition, he supports food habits that strengthen health readiness for people planning pregnancy or managing PCOS-related lifestyle challenges.
Will I have to eat foreign foods or expensive items?
No. His diet charts are usually built around familiar Bangladeshi foods—rice/roti, fish, egg, chicken, dal, seasonal vegetables, and fruits. The main change is often portion, balance, and timing, not buying “special” foods.
I have PCOS and weight gain—what can I expect in the first 2 weeks?
Most early progress comes from routine improvements: stable meal timing, fewer cravings, better energy, and a more balanced plate. He typically starts with practical steps like:
- protein + fiber in each main meal
- smarter tea-time snack plan
- dinner portion guidance for late evenings
- simple hydration habits
Follow-ups then refine the plan based on your real week.
5) Can he support couples together for fertility preparation?
Yes. Many couples prefer a shared plan because fertility readiness is not only a women’s issue. He can guide both partners with realistic food habits, routine building, and weight management support—while encouraging medical evaluation when needed.
Do I need to stop rice to lose weight?
Not necessarily. Many Bangladeshi families eat rice daily. His style typically focuses on portion control + plate balance so you can still enjoy familiar meals while moving toward your goal.
Will he ask me to do intense exercise?
He usually suggests practical movement that matches your lifestyle—like walking, light strength work, or routine activity targets. The priority is consistency, not extreme workouts.
I’m already taking medicine—will he change my medications?
No. Nutrition counselling complements medical care. He won’t change or stop your medicines. If you have a chronic condition, pregnancy, or any complex health issue, you should continue follow-ups with your physician/specialist.
What should I bring to my first appointment (in-person or online)?
To personalize your plan quickly, bring:
- a short note of what you ate in the last 1–2 days (or tell it clearly)
- your current work/sleep routine
- any recent reports (if available)
- list of medicines/supplements
- your goal (PCOS, fertility planning, pregnancy nutrition, weight, etc.)
