Reduce simple carbohydrates such as sabudana white rice etc at night. Fruits can be consumed in limited amounts. Avoid banana chickoo sitafal and grapes. You can have a maximum of 2 fruits in the day. Have salads with dressing of olive oil if possible. And use mustard or til oil instead of other refined oils. Have good quality proteins such as curd paneer eggs chicken or fish.
