Smart Calories and Common Sense: Top diabetologist busts diet myths

Описание: During the Covid-19 lockdown, renowned diabetologist Dr Anoop Mishra, chairman of Fortis C-Doc Hospital and Padma Shri awardee, began searching for a scientifically grounded Indian guide on diets—but found none. This gap led him to spend five years writing his book Smart Calories and Common Sense, an evidence-based deep dive into nutrition myths widely believed in India.

In this interview, Dr Mishra breaks down some of the most debated diet topics—from whether rotis should be avoided, to the truth about ghee, keto diets, artificial sweeteners, intermittent fasting and diabetes remission. He explains why most Indians don’t need gluten-free diets, how Mediterranean-style eating can be adapted for India, and why weight loss is central to diabetes remission.

The conversation explores practical nutrition advice for vegetarians, the role of supplements for Vitamin D and B12, and the rising popularity of GLP-1 drugs in obesity treatment.
