Indian Diet & Nutrition Guide

I want a well-researched, reader-friendly book that speaks directly to an Indian audience about healthy living, with diet and nutrition taking centre stage. The heart of the manuscript should be modern dietary trends relevant to India today—everything from plant-forward eating and mindful portioning to how urban professionals can adapt popular plans such as keto or intermittent fasting to local ingredients and cooking styles. Please weave in cultural context, regional flavour profiles, and practical meal ideas so the material feels both aspirational and immediately usable. Structure the content as a full-length manuscript of roughly 40,000 words, broken into logically flowing chapters that move from foundational nutrition science to step-by-step application. I will expect concise summaries of current research (ideally India-based studies where available), clear explanations a lay reader can understand, and engaging storytelling that keeps momentum. Deliverables: • A detailed chapter outline for approval before drafting • Completed manuscript in editable Word or Google Docs format • Source list of all studies, articles, and data cited • Brief art/infographic suggestions to accompany key concepts Acceptance criteria will be clarity, accuracy, cultural relevance, and a consistent, motivational tone.
