5 Reasons Doctors Are Prescribing Unpolished Millets for Diabetes & Weight Loss in 2025

Are you tired of feeling sluggish after meals? Are you struggling to manage your blood sugar levels despite eating "healthy"? You are not alone. In India, the rise of lifestyle diseases like Diabetes and PCOS has been linked to one major culprit: refined grains.

But there is a quiet revolution happening. It’s not a new pill or a crash diet. It is the return to our roots. At Ram Krishna Millet Processing Unit, we are witnessing a massive shift—people are swapping white rice for Unpolished Millets, and the health results in just 90 days are changing lives.

1. The Fiber Gap: Why Rice Is Failing You The biggest difference between white rice and millets is fiber.

• White Rice: Less than 1g fiber per serving.

• Unpolished Barnyard/Browntop Millet: 8g to 12g fiber per serving.

When you eat white rice, it turns to sugar instantly. When you eat millets, the high fiber creates a "mesh" in your stomach, slowing down digestion. This means no sugar spikes and no sudden hunger pangs an hour later.

2. The "Unpolished" Difference: Don't Be Fooled This is the most important part. Not all millets are created equal. Many store-bought millets are "polished"—stripped of their bran to look white and pretty. However, polishing removes the fiber and minerals!

At Ram Krishna, we specialize in Unpolished Millets. We keep the bran layer intact. This is where the magic happens:

• The Bran: Contains the Fiber (for gut health).

• The Germ: Contains the Minerals (Iron, Calcium).

• The Endosperm: Contains the Energy.

If you are eating polished millets, you are essentially eating expensive rice. Always choose Unpolished.

3. The Diabetes Defender (Low GI) Millets like Kodo and Foxtail have a Low Glycemic Index (GI). In simple terms, they release energy slowly. For diabetics, this acts like a natural control system, keeping insulin levels stable throughout the day.

4. Effortless Weight Loss (The Satiety Factor) Because unpolished millets are so nutrient-dense, you feel full faster and stay full longer. You naturally eat smaller portions without feeling like you are "dieting." Many of our customers report shedding 4–7 kg in 3 months simply by swapping their lunch rice for Kodo or Little Millet.

5. It’s Easier Than You Think You don't need to change your cooking style. Millets can be used exactly like rice:

• Kodo Millet: Use it for Pulao or Biryani.

• Little Millet: Perfect for creamy Curd Rice.

• Barnyard Millet: Makes soft, fluffy Idlis and Dosas.

Conclusion: Start Your Switch Today Your health begins in your kitchen. Don't wait for a doctor's prescription to start eating better. Whether you are looking to reverse health issues or simply want more energy for your family, the answer lies in the ancient wisdom of Unpolished Millets.
