Smart Calories and Common Sense

An Evidence-Based Guide to Indian Diets

Smart Calories and Common Sense cover

Description

In a world of fad diets and conflicting nutrition advice, Smart Calories and Common Sense cuts through the noise with an evidence-based, India-specific guide to lifelong health. Drawing on four decades of clinical expertise and rigorous research, this book tackles the dietary roots of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and more.

No guesswork, no trends: every recommendation is backed by the latest science, from the truth about ghee and turmeric to the real impact of keto, fasting, and 'diabetes reversal' diets. Explore in-depth analyses of Indian superfoods (like jackfruit, fenugreek, and dates), the pros and cons of vegetarianism, and the safest ways to use supplements. With dedicated chapters on liver health, immunity, brain function, and chronic disease prevention, this book equips doctors, nutritionists, and health-conscious readers alike to make smarter choices-one informed bite at a time.
