Is the diet sufficient?
Height 5'6 and weight 73 kgs
My father has been diet since a few months. It goes like this-
Soaked raisins and 1 fig in morning
1 coconut water
Upma and chutney as breakfast
Daal/sabzi as lunch
Papaya shake/cheeku shake
Night 1-2 chapatis or bowl of daliya with more green sabzi
Is this enough? Or should we add something.
Whenever we add paneer, he gets constipation.
He has chronic constipation so we added fruits/veggies. It helps but he still takes oral magnesium for softer stool.
