Expert Recommendation
“Millets
like foxtail, little millet, and kodo are natural allies in obesity care. They
are high in dietary fiber and protein, slow down glucose absorption, and reduce
calorie overload without compromising nutrition. When taken consistently, they
enhance satiety and improve metabolic health.”
[— Dr. Anita Suresh Clinical Dietician & Lifestyle Consultant BSc Nutrition, MSc Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics, CDE]
