There is no point in eating carbohydrates at all because your body cannot use them efficiently for energy; all they do is raise your blood sugar and cause you harm.

Add fats to your diet, and dump ALL the carbohydrates. You may find that, over time, you recover some ability to handle them. For now, though, you need to remove as many as possible to give your body a chance to "recalibrate".

You can use any fats you like. I'm guessing you're in or near India, and vegetarian (?). So the most readily-available sources of fat for you are likely to be dairy, palm oil, and coconut oil. Use the natural, unprocessed versions. Avoid processed seed oils like peanut oil if possible (mustard oil is OK). You will need about 100g of fat to meet your daily energy needs.

Basically, your meals should consist of lots of non-starchy vegetables, cooked with oil and/or dairy. There is no need to limit the amount; eat as much as you like until you're full. Beans are OK, in small amounts to begin with; watch your blood sugar, and you can probably start to add more of them 3-4 months from now.

If you eat meat and eggs, then of course that's an excellent source of nutrition in general, and fat in particular.
