Food questions

Do I have to give up roti?

No. Portion size and the type of grain matter more than cutting roti out completely.

Is fruit allowed?

Whole fruit in a sensible portion can fit a plan. The personal plan says how much.

Are imported foods needed?

No. The plans use everyday Pakistani foods.
