INDIA’S OBESITY PROBLEM and its connection to the surge in non-communicable

• India’s obesity crisis is linked to high carbohydrate intake and low protein consumption.

• A survey by ICMR-INDIAB found carbohydrates constitute 62% of daily calories for most Indians, with overconsumption of refined carbs like white rice and added sugar.

• Despite rising prosperity, many people are overfed but under-nourished, showing a disconnect between wealth and healthy diets.

• The need for awareness about macronutrient composition in diets is critical, beyond curbing junk food consumption.

• Initiatives addressing childhood obesity, such as sugar awareness in schools, are insufficient.

• Government efforts to promote millets overlook the deeper issues of carb overindulgence and protein deficiency.

• Policies prioritizing political agendas, such as excluding eggs in meal programs, require reassessment.

• A comprehensive nutrition strategy, focusing on education for both children and adults, is essential for improving dietary habits.
