Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 35-year-old female trying to lose weight for pregnancy. I want to stop taking rice as it is rich in carbohydrates and start kodo millet. Is it good to avoid rice and replace it with kodo millet? Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Yes, it is good to replace rice with kodo millet. Millets, on digestion, release sugar slowly in the bloodstream and helps in losing weight. Also, this reduces your chances of getting diabetes, which is also good for conception and future pregnancy. I suggest including other complex carbohydrates, like peas, beans, and vegetables, in your diet.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
