Have you talked about the new diet with your doctor? Please check with your doctor before doing anything new.

Vegan fine but what about fats. Since you can't metabolize carbs efficiently you can't take it. So your energy source is protein and fats. Also you can't take protein more than 1 g/ kg body weight i.e. 60-70g per day 240-280 calories from protein. You need to take fats to get 60% of your energy requirements and fat soluble vitamins. No to vegan imho.

Also i don't agree to millets. 71 is gi for jowar, bajra, sorghum. Millets recommended are kodo millet, queenooa, ragi. But best avoided.
