Recently I met an Indian homoeopathy doctor who organizes workshops on diabetic awareness. He is more interested in treating people with just food rather than homoeopathic medicines.
He advices to replace rice and wheat (mostly all sorts of sugars) with five types of millets which can bring down Hba1c to greater extent (~6). I was surprised to see few reports showing the results.
In Bangalore (Karnataka-India) Millets foods are becoming popular these days.
Millets contain goitrogens. Goitrogens suppress thyroid activity and can lead to goiter. While the goitrogens in foods are usually reduced by cooking (such as cruciferous vegetables), cooking actually increases the goitrogenic effect of millet!
Protect your thyroid at all costs! It is a real challenge to unwind the effects of hypothyroidism once this vital gland is weakened or enlarged. Don’t take any chances with your thyroid health by consuming large amounts of millet. Eat millets in moderation.

surprised to know about millets. Millets are poor people's bread. Our previous generations just a few decades back ate lots of millets. Never knew hypothyroid was rampent in those days. Even in the present time millets loaf is an important item of dinner menu in many families including my family . With cereal or a vegetable and surely with milk.

pearl millet/bajra nu rotlo ane ringni nu bhrato or bhrava ringani was staple diet in rural Gujarat.
Even now days there are many dhaba/jalram Dhaba serve that in Ahmedabad.
Glycemic index of Bajra is very high i.e. 71
But surprisingly when I had bajra nu rotlo at dinner...my morning fasting sugar was in very much control.
Why this is happening really don't know.
Guess this is all due to modified grains....
We Indians always consumed whole grains.....but modified grains....
Gujju food is really very good and tasty....guess they are on LCHF all the time...use of groundnut oil....lots of garlic....turmeric pickle...bhokar/Cordia dichotoma/વદો ગુંદો vado gundo pickle..
They really know what to eat.....
@Cure
seems you have tasted gujarati food very often and fond of gujarati dishes.
Yes. Gujarati food is very much scientific. It doesn't mean other foods are not.
Here i'd like to praise our kathiawadi food from saurastra. Bajra no rotlo - loaf with lots of valona nu ghee -valonu = churner and brinjal no olo made in lots oil and added many condiments and spices as you said. Very tasty. And buttermilk is must following each meal. Although ayurveda is against curd after evening. Salad - kachumber is must. Very pungent food - spicy. We usually say that hyperacidity due to chilly but science say that capsica in chilly is antacid. God knows what is the truth. For milk also. We take milk or ice cream for our acidity but science says milk cause acidity. See very confusing.
hmmm is undhiyu ok for LCHF??
Yeah I traveled all over India....lots of Gujarat....
I often visit Ahmadabad.... I like Gujju Food lot...
Gujarat is really a vibrant state....
But all Gujju food is calorie rich...
Really I too like Gujrat 
Very vibrant and simple and friendly people ...I like Khandvi too much ...what about kahdi khichari :)...but all of their food have some sugar in it
I am surprised how people can live on one meal a day :O...and they dont get acidity ...doesn't stomach complaint about being jobless most of the time and start releasing more acid after some days and vco with coffee in breakfast...thats ittttt :O...I have tears in my eyes thinking how much starvation is going on to keep the diabetes at bay :)...(just a joke ...dont take seriously )I know its healthy for whole system
The air around your home must be very nutritious and you must be getting nutrition from that air :)..again joking

acidity is directly related to constipation. If your bowel habits are good you will not get acidity.
But if you surf the net the definition varies.
But as a simple rule after defaecation one should not feel any heaviness in the abdomen. There is a feeling of emptiness in the abdomen and very little flatulance. That means you are not constipated.
For the relief of constipation you have laxative and purgative. Laxatives act by increasing bulk of the stool which in turn stimulates bowel movements.
Purgatives irritate bowels and thus cause bowel movements. Purgatives if taken for a long time weaken the bowel walls and then spontaneous bowel movements are not adequate to evacuate them.
Combination of both if used judiciously can be of benefit.
@suramo....regarding constipation ...Did you watch the movie ...Piku
Jokes apart ...When not following a schedule for eating and sleeping and this goes on for long time ...the problem of acidity arises ...deviation from body clock along with wrong eating habits is the cause of many problem related to health
and what about the right time ?
"Wonder why people don't get bored eating wheat and rice thru out their life."
I will answer it after you answer me "why rabbits are not bored of eating grass...carrots everyday and lion bored from eating same animal meat everyday "
yes, as of today they are costly - 85 RS per 500 g .
I am also trying to have two meals a day. But some times I feel very hungry in between. Can you please suggest what to do
