I follow the natural hygienists who advocate avoiding all meat, diary, and very importantly REFINED/fragmented foods like refined white flour, sugar, and oils
In context to India, few people consume sugar and maida to excess but MOST people consume high levels of cheap refined rancid oils (sunflower, corn, peanut, margarine, etc) These oils are omega-6 long chained fatty acids which are rancid, give rise to free radicals etc. They promote obesity by being stored as fat.
It is better to cut down on cheap oil consumption drastically. Use only coconut oil or ghee sparingly as was done in the past
