Description

In two generations, India has gone from the world’s leanest large country to its diabetes capital. Thyroid disorders are now ordinary. PCOS is so common we have stopped calling it a disease. Forty-year-olds are being put on statins. And — despite a multi-thousand-crore Indian wellness industry — we are, by every metric that matters, getting sicker.

In this clear, calm, deeply researched book, leading nutritionist Dr. Anjali Sridhar makes a startling case: the modern Indian metabolic crisis is not a mystery. It is the predictable consequence of having abandoned, in one generation, a 5,000-year-old food culture that had quietly evolved to keep us well.

Drawing on a decade of clinical practice with over 12,000 Indian patients, Dr. Sridhar walks you through the practical, evidence-based system that has helped her patients reverse Type 2 diabetes, normalise thyroid function, restore hormonal balance, and lose weight without ever counting a calorie. The morning rituals your grandmother followed without knowing why. The five fats your kitchen has wrongly removed. The eating windows our ancestors maintained for reasons we now understand scientifically. The single most important meal of the day (and it is not breakfast).

*Eat Like Your Grandmother* is not a fad diet book. It is the gentle, rigorous, deeply Indian wellness book this country has been waiting for — and the only one most Indians will ever need.
