β οΈ IMPORTANT NOTES FOR DOCTOR/PATIENT
- All medications to be taken as prescribed - this diet chart is a supportive tool, not a substitute for medication.
- Purine restriction (for uric acid) means avoiding ilish, chingri, shutki entirely - rohu and katla in moderate amounts (1 piece/day max) are acceptable.
- Oil limit is strict: 3 teaspoons total per day across all cooking. Use mustard oil only.
- Salt limit: No extra salt at the table. Use minimal salt in cooking. No papad, pickle, or packaged snacks.
- Exercise: 30-minute brisk walk daily (morning or evening) is as important as diet for all 4 conditions.
- Monitor blood sugar: Fasting + 2-hour post-meal readings weekly. Adjust food if readings remain high.
- Isabgol (psyllium husk) at bedtime daily until constipation resolves, then 3x/week for maintenance.
- Liver check: Repeat USG abdomen and LFT every 6 months to track fatty liver improvement.
- Uric acid: Drink water throughout the day. Avoid fasting for more than 4-5 hours (skipping meals causes uric acid spikes).
- Weight goal: Target gradual loss of 3-5 kg over 3 months - this alone significantly improves all 4 conditions.
