Some Bestsellers to support this concept( stolen from above article ) :
Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health by William Davis got people talking about gluten last year in America. A cardiologist, Davis believes eliminating wheat prevents fat storage and reverses myriad health problems. The book blurb says that after “witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic — and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health.”
and dont forget "Grain Brain"...
After reading this article I could not stop myself from posting in forum ...as a lesson for our diet

BTW whats your view on lactose intolerance ...as usage of milk is quite popular in India and that may also hidden cause of many small to big health problems ...just this question bubbled up in mind ...
I know It would be tough to live on earth if we Indian diabetic give up wheat and dairy both
cheese. Hung curd, ghee, butter are safe ?? ...All milk hormones cling to the fat in the milk(like excess estrogen which is present in milk of pregnant cow, growth hormones given to cow for excess milk production) ....
Though cheese. Hung curd, ghee, butter have less lactose ...but they have all hormones present in milk including IGF-1 which adults dont need much ....
I was reading about hormones in milk ...so I asked...I know it was irrelevent to ongoing topic....
Avoiding totally is not possible , as diet is already so restricted...but question is how much is too much when we talk about industrial milk , which is laced with hormones (specially estrogen , which is harmful for body if feeded in large quantity ...and as we are so much depend on milk regularly, so keep a check on daily intake of estrogen is important (I read in industry they milk cows during last stages of pregnancy and the milk in that stage is full of estrogen)
Anyway its better to leave this topic for a while and start in a different thread
Yes. I'm also of the opinion that milk should be avoided because milk sugar disturbs your numbers.
When i was taking cheese at night with legumes or vegetables after going grain free my fbs remained high between 145 and 184. Now i have stopped cheese and my fbs has come down by 30. Hung curd also should be taken with caution. Perhaps proteins in them get converted to carbs and raise our numbers.

You are taking me wrong ...I am not opposing fat ...I am just shared what I thought may be problem clinging to Fat like ghee Butter in abundance and over reliance on Dairy products ...and got a big lecture
VCO can rescue from this condition still fat is high ...I think you are thinking emotionally rather than being rational for LCH_ Did you forget that I am in your team
I never knew PCRM and estrogen link ...though I read books but was not a good reader on internet ...anyways lets bury this topic here ...
BTW Anup Ji when are writing about the post for Intermittent fasting ...many IF savvy will follow and give opinion there after...I am eagerly waiting for your post related to IF
my dear friend. Artificial insemination is introduction of semen via syringe into the uterus -womb. Artificial because the semen is introduced without natural intercourse. It can't make meat poisonous. Yes the drugs used thereafter to get more meat cause poisoning.
karch ‘Our grandparents ate this' doesn't hold good any more since we're now consuming new strains of wheat. Dr. B.S. Ramakrishna concurs, stating that unlike ancient diploid wheat varieties, “modern hexaploid wheat has highly antigenic glutens, more capable of inducing celiac disease”.
Hi anup, can u tell me what your meal plan looks like if there is no wheat and rice. We are vegetarians with no eggs even. If u can just give a sample meal plan it will help for example what you ate yesterday would be good. Thanks.
very right. Once you stop eating wheat, rice and other grains you realize that they are not essential part of our diet. As far as we diabetics are concerned after going grain free our body gives different feelings.
Many had heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity – all the same disorders that we experience today in the ‘civilized’ Western world. Diseases that Paleolithic man, our really ancient ancestors, appeared to escape.
India FoodsRice and wheat appear to have been the staple food in the age of Brahmanas. Different products of barley and rice, mentioned in the Aitareya are dhana, karambha, parivdpa, purodds`a andpayasyd. These were mainly fried barley; cooked with butter, powder of dhana fried with butter, parched rice fried in butter, rice-cake, mixture of curd and milk.
Milk and various milk products that were used include clarified butter, curdled milk, dadhi (curd), karambha (porridge), ghrta (unmelted butter), navanita (cream or fresh butter), sdnndyya (mixture of curd and milk), mixture of milk and sotna, cam (milk, curd, honey, butter etc. mixed together), sara (thickened surface of milk), etc.
Udumbara (sacrificial fig), jujube and berries are some of the edible fruits mentioned in the Brahmanas. Shatapatha Brahmana mentions sugarcane. Aitareya Upanishad mentions shoots of Banyan trees and fruits of fig.........

............Meat Eating in Ancient India
In ancient India meat was not only eaten, but was also regarded as the best kind of food. The meat of barren cows and sterile ox, goat and sheep was a delicacy. We learn from the Shatapatha Brahmana and Aitareya the vogue of beef-eating; it used to be served to a king or other highly respectable guests.
The Sutras also bear clear testimony to meat-eating. Meat, both roasted on spits and cooked in pots, appears to have been in use. It was an essential element in madhuparka offered to distinguished guests.
Vegetarian food, excluding animal and fish meat became the norm only after the coming of Buddhism. In the Gupta period people mostly ate vegetables, cereals, fruits, breads, and drank milk.
Yes...If you observe the countires which have less lands to cultivate proper grains through the year or weather is harsh to grow crops through out year ...they have healthiest people and live longest ...is the proof that grains are not necessary to eat through out the year or as a essential part of meal...
I had dogs which we used to feed milk and roti ...and some dogs who like to eat vegetable and fruits more and eat less roti than milk and veg...were the healthiest and lived longer in family...even one used to eat only fermneted doodh roti was most intelligent and healthy ...whom we gave meat were most strong to break the dog chain and my mausi had a dog which lived more than 15 years and he used to eat eggs daily ...he lived till he lost all his teeth :)...I know this may seem irrelevant , but like dogs we too are omnivorous and can not dependent on grains for all our nutrition mainly
No...I dont know...we had German Shepherd 2 times and surprising if we tried to make it vegetarian it got sick(as mother and father turned vegeterian ) ...other one we kept on meat it got strong and used to run away by breaking dog chain and died in an accident
rest of others were white small hairy cute ones...surprisingly the white small ones go good on vegetarian food(mostly milk and chapati ) and some times veg/fruit ...
YET owners continue to prefer imported pets like the Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Cocker Spaniels, Spitzes, Dachshunds, Great Danes and Pomeranians—at prices ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000 each. Those with champion bloodlines fetch even higher prices, as high as Rs 1.5 and Rs 3 lakh. But though desi breeds lack equivalent price tags, they don't lack any of their qualities, in fact have some extra ones. Some of which were encountered by Pune-based H.R. Gupte who, while traipsing the countryside as a scooter company salesman, encountered Indian hounds, and decided "to do something about these creatures".
Some five years ago, he founded the Institute for Indian Canines, where along with his associates, he made earnest attempts to promote Indian hounds. "Today three of us have four Karvanis and two Pashmis. When whelping, they are kept in great comfort at our farm at Chandichowk." Gupte regrets that even kennel clubs often mess up with registrations, clubbing Pashmis with Salukis, which are essentially Afghan greyhounds, and Karvanis with Mudhol hounds.
The situation is further confounded since the tribals, who rear these breeds are keen on developing their hunting skills and are not 'scientific' about their breeding. (A kennel club registration requires certain physical standards, like a scissor-bite, while tribals prefer dogs whose bite is overshot since it means better grip on their prey). Also, since bitches are allowed a free run around the nomadic tents, they mate with different breeds, diluting the lineage.
"This makes getting a pure-bred hound extremely difficult," says Gupte. "We had to get a full-grown bitch instead of a pup to ensure bloodline. I'm aware there is no money in promoting Indian hounds, only difficulties. But efforts seem to be paying off. I have had enquiries from as far afield as Thiruvananthapuram and Calcutta for my hounds. People sometimes feel that their independent nature makes these hounds difficult pets, since they won't obey any silly command. But you have to see my Pashmis to appreciate how intelligent they are. They're the most even-tempered dogs." Powle is equally sentimental about his Pashmi, Hira. But the Indian-tag still being infra-dig, his neighbours nudge and laugh at the "goat masquerading as a dog" when Powle takes his now arthritic, age-bent dog for a walk. "But hounds are so graceful, yet so tough. They can't tolerate too much cold, but can withstand heat. They are not yappy like smaller breeds, nor hyperactive like Irish Setters." But they can breed only once a year while other breeds go into season biannually.
Hmm...its all the nature of individual dogs ...some dogs are aggresive by nature and some playful and friendly ...its nothing specific to breeds I guess...even GSD I had it was with us since her childhood and though she grown so big , she was childish only...became good friends with strangers , ready to play all the time ...but quite attentive during night and very aggresive for intruders in house and very active , they will not show laziness when it is call for duty...they dont spare intruders if you give them hint ...mine used to jump from first floor after monkeys, cats or some burglers..
Once upon time I did lots of efforts to promote Indian Pure breed dogs...
I made the local Indian salukis popular in Indian Dog game....They are called 'Pashmis'..Purest form of ancient salukis hunted once upon time in Arabian deserts.
To me I like Guard dogs....GSD is good guard dog....but health wise not good.Same with Doberman...labs are ok as companion dogs...
You must watch movie some day Doberman gang.,,its wonderful movie.
Canine psychology is very deep subject.
And all breeds have different mentality and temperament ...
I love Pashmis....most wonderful Dog....
Considered as El Hor (Gift of Allah) by Arabs...Fastest dog.....on loose ground it can beat grey hound....great guarding potential....
Search on net about saluki....or pashmi....
Next best breed is Bhutia/Tibetan mastiff.
But very sad part....now days its rare to find same....
you have deep knowledge in all kind of subjects ...
BTW "once upon a time I had 22 hounds ;)" ...how come ??
Since childhood I liked animals and had many animals at my home ...for me ...parrots, birds, white rats , rabbits apart from dogs...one of my rabbits lived for 9 years(he never ate roti...just rice and daal with me ) and parrot with us for 20 years(on milk, rice, veg/fruits )..and then flew away ...so I know that apart from basic instincts every animal has individual nature, skills and taste too like us(some of my dogs used to be very fond of fruits and vegs and some not at all...some were very aggressive on strangers and some were not )
