She launched her own well-being clinic, Nourish and 'eat.delete' is her first book.

Gul Panag has taken dietary advice from Pooja Makhija on many occasions. Pooja admired her in an Instagram post and wrote, "The pop of colour in black and white, The contagious laughter at any party, The intelligent conversationist in any topic, The girl who rides like no other, The mother that quickly learnt the art to juggle, The big girl that is going back to college for another degree."

Pooja has worked with not just Deepika Padukone but her husband too! Deepika Padukone says, "Once you learn the art of eating right and it becomes a lifestyle and that's what Pooja's diet has taught me. Then however crazy your schedules get, your body and health always comes first!"

At the movie screening of Ishaan Khatter's first film, Pooja spoke about her journey with him and wrote, "It's been quite a journey keeping him off burgers and pizzas and unhealthy food...but he's proved himself to be the most natural healthy actor!"

Pooja works through Diabetes, PCOS, heart disease, weight gain and more so that you can nourish your body through the plate and not through a pill.

Having followed a diet by Pooja, Sushmita Sen says, "One of the most important things I learnt from Pooja-eating is less about the way you look, it is more about the way you feel. You feel good when you feel alive inside. And soon, your body will reflect that."

Pooja Makhija attended the reception of Bollywood's favourite couple and wrote, "To couple that stole the hearts of millions and to the couple that has a heart one in a million. So much love, so much warmth, such humility and simplicity that I witnessed last night - my heart loves you and blesses you a million times more today."
