I first met Vrushali when I joined her Slimming
Centre long ago. I desperately wanted to get
rid of the huge pile of fat which I collected after
my deliveries. Busy in my profession, home, kids
and social commitment, I hardly had time to shed
it off for almost 10 years. One fine day I decided
to do something for it and joined her Slimming
Centre. I did the exercises from this Pattern
relevant to my target and also followed her
dietary advice. Needless to say, I did get
satisfactory results. It also gave me back a
better body and my lost confidence too!
I read this book and I feel confident that
this book will enable thousands of men and
women to tackle their obesity scientifically, and
in the right manner.
This book is written in a very simple yet
effective language. Vrushali’s VTREX Pattern™
is absolutely target oriented, and likewise she
has not diverted from her subject anywhere and
the contents are 'to the point'. I also appreciate
that she has restricted herself from giving any
undue medical reasoning or explanations by
frankly admitting that it is beyond her scope.

Foreword
I treat hundreds of patients everyday in
my hospital. Naturally I get to observe people
from all the socio-economic strata of the soci-
ety. Based on my experience as a doctor I wish
to add some relevant information for the benefit
of the readers.
• Obesity and related disorders, as Vrushali
mentions are no more limited to only the
affluent class. In more or less proportion, it
is spread across almost every class of the
society. Excessive and prolonged mental stress
is one of the important reasons for obesity.
People hardly have time to relax and rejuve-
nate. The desire of 'still more' makes them
keep chasing their ever changing goals.
• Hormonal changes in women are evident at
any age. Probably since women have become
career minded and have started taking up
high profile jobs with higher responsibilities,
they also face stress and trauma as men do.
In addition they also need to carry them-
selves fit and in good shape.
• Thyroid disorders are also related to weight
gain. Though a proper treatment on them is
a subject in medicine, women must take
appropriate measures, if they are suffering
from this disorder.
• Puberty, pregnancy and lactation are three
physiological changes in women when fat
deposition occurs naturally while passing
through any of these stages. They have to
be watchful during these phases.
• As Vrushali has rightly mentioned, a thor-
ough medical check-up before taking up this
Pattern will be in your interest. Apart from
confirming your fitness to carry out these
exercises, such a check-up by your quali-
fied physician will also highlight any irregu-
larities in your body that may not be appar-
ent or visible in normal life. It will help you
avoid further complications.
• You should exercise at one particular time
every day. It will ensure that your muscles
get a rest of 24 hours to recover.
I am sure that the Pattern described in this
book will take you in the right direction to
reduce obesity gradually and stay fit thereafter.
This book does not advocate any artificial
'instant result' remedies like fat burning machines,
cosmetic surgeries or drugs that may reduce
appetite or adversely affect metabolism. I have
no doubts that, if followed conscientiously, this
Pattern will give you good and long lasting re-
sults. It is said that to get cured from your
doctor you must have total faith in him. Likewise,
trust completely in this Pattern and rest assured
to be successful!
I wish Vrushali every success in her mis-
sion to guide people in reducing their obesity
and upgrading their fitness to enjoy life! I also
wish all the readers success in achieving their
goals!
