Abstract	Rising consumption of refined cereals among young adults is associated with increasing prevalence of metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia. Millets and legumes are nutrient-dense, low-glycaemic, locally available alternatives that may enhance metabolic health and dietary quality while remaining culturally acceptable in Indian diets. Objective: To evaluate the effect of replacing 40% of daily refined cereal intake with locally available millets and legumes on insulin resistance (measured by HOMA-IR), lipid profile, and diet acceptability among young adults aged 18–25 years in the Delhi–NCR region over a six-month period.
