[gnvraju]

Hi,

I am Raju from Hyderabad. Could you suggest a South Indian Low Carb Diet?

Morning coffee with coconutmilk and stevia drops

BF : 1cucumber. Moong and fenugreek sprouts. Horse gram sprouts . Can be sauteed in ghee.

2 small idli made of brown rice and sprouts of moong. Have with coconut chutney . And or Sambhar with non starchy veggies with ghee over it.

Or one dosa made as above

Nuts like almonds and walnuts

Also peanuts

Lunch. 1 to 2 tablespoon brown rice with ghee Nd Sambhar

Or 1 Roti made of besan and wheat atta with 1 to 2 non starchy vegetables

Green tea

Or coffee with out sugar

Evening nuts as snack

Dinner lunch

Add up paneer and cheese in all meals

Also butter

Coffee can have a bullet proof coffee with coconut oil and butter with stevia drops

No insult meant towards you sir but you seem to be a rich person who can afford to have such a menu and chew nuts during the day, have paneer and cheese in all meals and consume bulletproof coffee, green tea, coconut oil, ghee, butter, stevia drops.

Diabetes is known to mostly effect middle and lower income families but the diet required to control/treat diabetes is of high and very high income families, how ironic is that.

Sadly yes

But if we don't spend now the disease will progress .

Dr will rx costly patented dpp4 or Insulins

This will cost around 30 to 50 Rs per day

I am sure the same can be spent in fats

Peanuts are cheaper

Gram flour or besan is cheaper

1, 2 or 3 teaspoon of ghee has to be taken

If not then fat soluble vitamins deficiency will happen and costly pill to be taken

If anyone can take eggs then it's very cheap at Rs 5 per egg

Instead these pts will buy "junk oats" which are being pushed

No need of taking costly nuts

Ramdev baba offers cow ghee at a cheaper rate

Instead of coconut oil can use coconut milk made at home with a Few coconuts

We have to think of ways and means to make things cheaper instead of complaining

For our own long term health

Money spent on fruits can be spent on fats

We Indians are known for "jugaads" where we convert global ideas to local ones

So let's not reject an idea instead adopt and adapt locally

[raj1461 in reply to Hidden]

very true sir, but as I said before "no insult meant to you in any way" all I am saying is how ironic it is that if one could do or have all this in their lives then they would not have gotten diabetes in the first place.

[Hidden in reply to raj1461]

We are struck with :

Genetic predisposition towards metabolic disease

Shift of dietary pattern from home made foods to packaged foods

Fear of good fats like butter and ghee but instead take junk like samosa, vada pav or burgers

More and more having sugary junk called cola
