My grocery for the week.
Protein-first. Real food.
It’s how obesity, diabetes, fatty liver & arthritis get reversed- from the kitchen, not the clinic.
Here’s how to build your diet from your cart 🛒 🧵👇
#ProteinPriority #MetabolicReversal
This is not a trend. It’s a system.
My cart reflects 4 goals:
✅ Fat loss
✅ Muscle retention
✅ Gut repair
✅ Inflammation control
The plan starts before the plate it starts at the store.
What I Bought And Why
🥚 Eggs – Best-quality protein, daily essential
🧀 Paneer – Slow-digesting protein, keeps me full
🥛 Milk – Turned into homemade curd = gut health + protein
🌿 Veggies & Greens – Fiber for digestion & sugar control
🍌🍈 Fruits – Seasonal & planned, not mindless
🥒 Okra & Kantola – Low-carb, anti-inflammatory
Why Protein-First Works
🔸Reduces cravings
🔸Improves insulin sensitivity
🔸Retains muscle while losing fat
🔸Replaces processed, blood sugar-spiking foods
🧠 Protein-first = behavior change without mental struggle
How This Helps Reverse Disease
🩸 Obesity – Prioritized protein = calorie control without hunger
🧬 Diabetes – Lower post-meal glucose spikes
🫀 Fatty Liver – Reduced triglycerides, improved metabolism
🦴 Arthritis – Less inflammation, more nutrient density
Grocery = Consistency Engine
You don’t need willpower if your fridge is aligned with your goals.
🏠 Home setup > motivation
Repeat items = consistent meals = metabolic stability
Grocery Tips for a Healing Diet
🛒 Make a weekly list
🥚 Always start with protein sources
🧂 Add fiber-rich, low-GI veggies
🍽️ Batch cook staples
🚫 Don’t buy “just in case” junk
💡 Label your fridge shelves by purpose (protein, veg, prep)
This is how disease reversal becomes sustainable.
Not by 30-day challenges.
Not by cutting all carbs overnight.
But by choosing the right foods Every single week.
Grocery → Meals → Healing
Your health doesn’t change with a pill.
It changes with your plate.
And your plate depends on your cart.
Start your health journey in the most powerful place:
The grocery aisle.

I forgot to add
1kg home made ghee from our neighbours at ₹700/kg
70 free range eggs @ ₹ 72/dozen
Why I prefer free range eggs 👇
Deshi eggs, also known as free range or country eggs, are laid by hens raised in natural environments, often with outdoor access and a traditional diet. Compared to conventional caged eggs, deshi eggs have been shown to contain:
Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA), which support brain development and hormone regulation
Greater concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, and E, crucial for bone growth, immunity, and reproductive health
More bioavailable vitamin K2 (menaquinone-4), which plays a key role in directing calcium into bones rather than soft tissues
Better protein quality, containing all essential amino acids required for muscle repair and linear growth in children

Why are most Indian elders tired, bloated, or constipated?
It’s not age.
It’s nutrition.
ICMR’s dietary guidelines reveal how to fix this with food.
🧵 Diet plan for elderly people 👇 #ElderlyNutrition #ICMR
1️⃣ Energy Needs Decline, But Nutrient Needs Increase
With age, physical activity and basal metabolism slow down.
👉 Calories need to reduce by ~20% after 60 years
But nutrient density should increase.
Focus: small, frequent, nutrient-rich meals.
2️⃣ Protein Intake is Critical
ICMR-NIN recommends 1.0 g protein/kg body weight/day for elderly.
For a 60 kg elder, this means 60 g/day.
Essential for:
✔️ Preventing sarcopenia (muscle loss)
✔️ Immunity
✔️ Wound healing
“Your LDL is high. You’ll get a heart attack”.
That’s the fear most people live with.But science says something very different.
Here’s the most important thread you’ll read on LDL cholesterol:
Myths, truths, risks, and what REALLY matters. 🧵👇
1. LDL is not “bad cholesterol.”
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is not cholesterol.
It’s a carrier vehicle that transports cholesterol from the liver to cells.
Every cell needs cholesterol to:
•Build membranes
•Make sex hormones
•Produce bile & vitamin D
⚠️ LDL is a delivery system, not a toxin.
2. What makes LDL dangerous? Not quantity.But quality.
LDL becomes risky when it’s:
⚠️ Oxidized (damaged)
⚠️ Small & dense (easily trapped in arteries)
⚠️ High in number (ApoB)
⚠️ In an environment of inflammation + insulin resistance
LDL is like a delivery truck. Problem isn’t the truck, it’s damaged trucks in a traffic jam on a broken road.
Type 2 Diabetes Is Reversible
Type 2 diabetes isn’t caused by sugar “ It’s caused by too much Belly Fat in your liver and pancreas.”
Prof. Roy Taylor proved it.
Obesity and diabetes are reversible,they’re not permanent life sentences.
Here’s how
Save & share this 🧵👇
1. Diabetes is not lifelong. It’s fat in the wrong places.
Prof. Roy Taylor’s research shows:
Type 2 diabetes happens when fat builds up inside the liver and pancreas, not just under your skin.
The solution? Remove this fat. Reverse the disease.
2. The Twin Cycle Hypothesis
🌀 Excess food → fat in liver
🌀 Liver becomes insulin resistant
🌀 More fat spills into pancreas
🌀 Pancreas stops making enough insulin
💩 Poop is one of the most powerful biomarkers in medicine but also the most ignored.
Each bowel movement reveals data on gut health, nutrient absorption, liver & pancreas function, inflammation, and immunity.
Here’s a scientific breakdown worth saving 🧵👇
#GutHealth
1️⃣ What exactly is poop made of?
On average:
🔸~75% water
🔸~25% solids
Of the solids:
🔸30% dead & living bacteria
🔸30% indigestible fiber
🔸10–20% fat
🔸10–20% inorganic matter
🔸Small amounts of protein, dead cells, bile pigments
This is microbial data, not just waste.
2️⃣ Color: A reflection of bile + liver function
🟤 Brown = Normal (from bile + bilirubin)
🟢 Green = Rapid transit, magnesium, leafy greens
⚫ Black = Upper GI bleeding, iron supplements
🔴 Red = Lower GI bleeding, hemorrhoids, fissures
🟡 Pale/Clay = Bile obstruction check liver
⚪ White = No bile. serious warning sign
Leptin: The Master Fat-Burning Hormone You’ve Never Heard Enough About
Struggling with weight loss even while eating less?
Always hungry even after meals?
The problem may not be willpower it may be Leptin Resistance.
Let’s dive deep 🧵 👇
#Obesity #Diabetes
What is Leptin?
Leptin is a hormone made by fat cells (adipocytes).
Its job is simple but powerful:
✅ Tells your brain: “You have enough energy stop eating.”
✅ Boosts metabolism
✅ Helps regulate fertility, immunity, and thyroid function
It’s often called the “satiety hormone” or “anti-starvation signal.”
How does Leptin work?
Leptin travels from fat tissue → to the brain (hypothalamus) and says:
🧠 “Energy levels are good. Reduce hunger. Burn more fat.”
So, more fat = more leptin = less hunger… in theory.
🫀 Key Cardiac Risk Markers You Shouldn’t Ignore
Heart attacks in 20s & 30s are becoming frighteningly common.
Fit on the outside ≠ Healthy on the inside.
Here’s how to investigate early & prevent silent cardiac risk 🧵 👇
🔴 1. Lipid Profile is just the beginning
Check more than just total cholesterol.
✅ LDL (bad cholesterol)
✅ HDL (good cholesterol)
✅ Triglycerides (TG)
✅ VLDL
