Well, I am of the opinion that a diet high in carbs is unhealthy. I love potatoes (ask Milly) but they don’t hold much nutritional value.

The prevalence of type II diabetes and PCOS in Pakistani’s just goes to show how unhealthy our diet and lifestyle is… and I believe it’s more to do with all the carbs we consume (and then sedentary lifestyle) than fats. If people are stuffing their faces with methai and eating salan drenched in oil, it’s obviously bad. But you find so many desi’s complaining that they have cut back on fats/oils/sweets and they are still having problems. You need to leave off the white roti, rice, pastas, potatoes, breads as well!

We never have rice and roti together. Rice in generally only once a week. Roti is always wholemeal or mixed wholemeal with a bit of white. No one eats cereals. Bread is also brown.

Can I eat whole wheat roti? we use the fresh wheat flour. does this help us in dieting?

I use Chakki atta. Supposedly that is better. But again portion control is the key. rice is the worst but consuming too many rotis is also not good when you are trying to loose weight.
