Weight Loss: Ragi, Gram Flour Outperform Wheat for Effective Weight Management
- •Wheat chapati, a staple, has high carbs and glycemic index, leading to quick hunger and making weight loss difficult.
- •Ragi (finger millet) is a 'superfood' rich in fiber, promoting satiety, improving digestion, and controlling blood sugar.
- •Gram flour (besan) is high in protein, aiding muscle strength, fat burning, and has a low glycemic index to control insulin.
- •Both ragi and gram flour are superior to wheat for weight loss, with ragi excelling in satiety and digestion, and gram flour in protein and muscle recovery.
- •The best approach is a multigrain flour mix of wheat, ragi, and gram flour for balanced nutrition and effective weight loss.
Why It Matters: Ragi and gram flour are more effective for weight loss than wheat due to fiber, protein, and low glycemic index.
