Healthy morning,
Millets are a great addition to a weight loss diet as they are high in fibre and antioxidants.
Incorporating millets such as ragi , bajra , jowar , foxtail millets and rajgeera into your diet can help keep you satiated without increasing your daily calorie intake, boost metabolism and aid weight management.

Yes, millets can be helpful for weight management due to their high fiber content and low glycemic index, which can help you feel full and satisfied for longer. The exact amount of carbs varies depending on the type of millet, but generally, they contain fewer carbs compared to rice or wheat. For example, one cup of cooked millet contains around 41 grams of carbs.
Below I mentioned food recipes which you can add in your diet.
1. Bajra Roti
2. Ragi Dosa
3. Jowar Bhakr
4. Kodo Millet Upma
5. Little Millet Khichdi
Next Steps
These dishes are not only tasty but also provide the nutritional benefits of millets.
