Our modern Indian diet has become too focused on carbs like rice, roti, and processed snacks, while seriously lacking in protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients. We eat a lot of oily, fried, and masala-heavy food, but forget to include enough dal, paneer, eggs, or other protein sources in our daily meals. Junk food, sweets, and soft drinks have become regular, even in small towns, and people think eating out or ordering online is easier than cooking at home.
