A taste of the Design step
Build your plate, don't ban your food.
A simple way to plan an Indian meal so your blood sugar stays steadier, without giving up roti, rice or family food.
Eat vegetables and protein first, carbs last. Never eat a carb alone: pair fruit with nuts, rice with dal, poha with curd.
| Instead of | Try |
|---|---|
| White rice, large helping | Small katori rice with extra dal and salad |
| Fruit juice | The whole fruit, with skin where possible |
| Biscuits with tea | Roasted chana, makhana or a few nuts |
| Maida bread / pav | Multigrain roti, millet roti or dosa |
| Late 10 PM dinner | Dinner by 8:30 PM, then a short walk |
