For a consultation from DR. ROSHANI SANGHANI, MD, go here Website: https://reisaanhealth.com I have surprising new information about the causes of belly fat that goes beyond eating too many carbs. Watch this fascinating interview with Dr. Roshani Sanghani as we discuss health problems that stem from diet. 0:00 Introduction: How to lose belly fat 0:14 Welcome, Dr. Roshani Sanghani! 1:17 Health problems and protruding bellies in India 6:28 Shifting perspectives and focusing on diet 10:24 Carbohydrates in the Indian diet 16:00 Starches and carbohydrates 21:38 Vegetarians and protein 27:16 Eggs and cholesterol 29:04 Digestive problems DR. ROSHANI SANGHANI, MD Website: https://reisaanhealth.com/ Watch the Part 1 Here: ▶️https://youtu.be/iOO35cEQXfw Please join me in welcoming endocrinologist Dr. Roshani Sanghani. Dr. Sanghani explains the different health problems in India, including insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver, and protruding bellies. These problems are starting to occur in young children—1 in 3 Indian children have high triglycerides and a fatty liver. Endocrinologists do not focus on carbohydrates triggering insulin while in medical school. Dr. Sanghani tells us that she spent very little time on the lifestyle aspect of disease and much more time learning about prescriptions. Dr. Sanghani explains that endocrinologists prescribe insulin according to the patient's carbohydrate intake. It finally dawned on her that by lowering the patient’s carbohydrate intake, they could lower their insulin. She traveled to India, determined to share this information with her patients. India has been badly affected by low-fat, low-calorie dietary marketing. Dr. Sanghani explains a typical day of eating in the Indian diet consists of snacking, high carbohydrate intake, and very little protein. Many Indians are vegetarian, making it very difficult for them to meet their protein requirements. Many Indian vegetarians are okay with dairy and consume yogurt, milk, and paneer cheese for protein. She also recommends whey protein for her vegetarian patients. Although not a whole food, it’s an ideal way for a vegetarian to increase their protein intake. Some vegetarians are fine with adding eggs to their diet, although some are concerned about dietary cholesterol. There’s no proven link between dietary cholesterol and bad cholesterol in the blood. Tofu and tempeh are also protein options for vegetarians in India. Dr. Sanghani helps her patients learn to read labels and understand the problem with processed grains and starches. She focuses on first increasing protein, then decreasing carbs while increasing salad intake. Some of her patients wear continuous glucose monitors to understand the effects of carbohydrates.

As a man with an Indian background, it comes down to a diet full of carbs that have been enriched with seed oils.

I am an airline pilot and am required to keep myself fit to maintain my license. The only mantra to keep blood sugar under control is to avoid carbs and eat a high protein diet. I am 59 and talking from my personal experience. This doctor is talking the truth.
