Verdict:
So, if you are really looking for weight loss you can include whole wheat roti based on your requirement and about rice. I would suggest instead of white rice you can include Brown Rice in your diet. And it is the best option and contains bunch of vitamins, fibers, minerals in it. For roti or chapati you can include multigrain flour in whole wheat flour and that will the best combination for fulfilling your daily nutrition values.
However, basic requirements include along with correlated entries, good grammar and nice visuals.
