2. Whole Grains: Whole wheat flour chapattis, whole wheat bread, other grains like bajri (pearl millet), jowar (sorghum millet), barley, oats okay. Brown rice is okay. Finer the grain, and when the fiber is removed, it is high glycemic food.

5. Fruits: All fruits except pineapple and water melon initially. All fruits in moderation. Choose those with lower Glycemic index. Always take fruits as whole with the fiber. Never take fruit juices where fiber is removed. Sweeter the fruit, higher the glycemic index. Therefore, do not take too sweet or over ripe fruit initially.
