I'm wondering if eating rice might be a problem for me because I've heard rice is naturally cold, and I'm concerned it could affect my health. Could you let me know if it's bad for me and perhaps suggest a diet plan? I'd appreciate your help! What kind of foods would be safe for me to eat?

Rice is not harmful for diabetes, but it should be consumed in moderation, especially white rice. Brown rice or other whole grains are better options. Focus on portion control, balanced meals, and low-GI foods to manage your blood sugar effectively. Always consult with your healthcare provider or a nutritionist for personalized advice, especially if you are managing diabetes or other chronic conditions.

I'm new to Mumbai and the only thing I'm eating right now is idli vada. I'm curious, what's the calorie count for this meal? And is it good for nutrition? I'm trying to make sure I'm eating healthy.
A typical serving of idli (2-3 pieces) and vada (1-2 pieces) contains approximately 250-400 calories, with a breakdown of 50-60g carbohydrates, 10-15g protein, and 10-15g fat; idli vada can be a nutritious option due to the presence of fermented rice and lentils, which provide probiotics, fiber, and essential amino acids, but be mindful of the oil used for frying vada and consider pairing with vegetables or sambar for added nutrition.

I'm carrying around an extra 15 kilograms and I'd really like to shed that weight. Can you help me figure out the right diet plan to follow for losing these extra kilos? Is there something specific in my eating habits I should be adjusting?
Avoid processed foods and prefer whole wheats. Restrict sugar intake and fried foods to a minimum. Use an app or counter to measure your daily calorie intake and try to maintain a calorie deficit for each day. Find a sport which you enjoy, such as badminton or yoga, and engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. Consult a dietician to work out a sustainable diet plan.
