“India Diet”

Diet in India or Indian Diet is quite rich in fibres. In the west carbs are often eaten stripped of fiber. Processed flour is used in their bread, cakes, pasta etc. The western diets lack the great Indian concept of Dal, Sabji, Roti as the major meal which incorporates a lot of fibre.

In India avoiding carbs is not needed. If you look at the Indian foods like poha, upma, veg stuffed paratha, idlis, dosas, dhoklas, dal, roti, sabji etc. most of our carbs aren't the processed ones and they retain their fibres, vitamins and minerals. Hence restriction of carbs which are high in glycemic index and zero on nutrients is alone enough. Eg - cakes, pastries, sugar, alcohol, desserts, chocolates, aerated beverages, cookies and deep fried items like samosa, pakoras, bhujias and vadas.
