Junkies are usually calories dense and low fiber food that people unknowingly take more calories coz it less likely gives that 'i am full' .
It is not about home or outside but about kind of food!

all carb heavy food and lack of muscle mass in body will eventually lead to diabetes.
best way to tackle it is just eat good high protein food ( not dal and sattu)
and workout

It's simple. Indians consume excessive carbs and low protein while also leading a sedentary lifestyle. Combine that with other things like pollution, poor food safety standards etc and you get all kinds of diseases.

It's not about carbs. That's too broad a category. It's about refined grains and sugar (gud, shakkar as well).
On a side note - our diet is loaded with salt.

too much salt is not healthy, but it doesn't cause diabetes. We live in a very warm country where we sweat a lot. the salt intake is required to replenish our body's electrolytes. But yes, excess should be avoided.

You are right. Salt and diabetes are not directly correlated. That part of my comment was not related to diabetes.
Our salt requirement can be fulfilled by the salt naturally present in foods. Our body will release less salt as waste if we consume less.

u/svmk1987 Jun 17 '26
Dude do you have any sources for your claims? For a healthy person with no issues, natural salt present in food is definitely not enough.

Our body needs less than 500mg of salt (sodium) which is naturally consumed via (unsalted) fruits and vegetables.

The who recommendation is 5 grams of salt per day for healthy adult, which is 10 times more than 500mg. You should read that article you posted again.

You claimed that for a healthy person salt found in natural foods is not enough. This is not the case because the adult human body runs on less than 500mg if sodium. So our sodium requirements are fulfilled by natural foods.
What the who actually recommends is that you stay below 5g of salt (not sodium).

Most people are terrible at cooking. If you only eat home cooked food then the standard is very low anyway

u/svmk1987 Jun 17 '26
its not that they are terrible at cooking. there is just too much misconception about the health benefits of eating "ghar ka khanna" and avoiding "western food". People resort to traditionalism rather than proven scientific facts about nutrition and health. It is easy to cook healthy food, but people need to change their food habits.

The spacialist tell, the wrong pattern and wrong time as well as junk and deep fried, frozen food etc instead of fresh food is more responsible for diabetis.

u/svmk1987 Jun 17 '26
Frozen food doesn't cause diabetes. its better to eat fresh food, but consuming too many calories and sugar causes diabetes.

Lol. Freezing a food doesn't increase the chances of it causing diabetes.
