South Asian people, how do yall eat healthy in a desi household? pls help

im 18F and live with my parents. ive started losing weight through intermittent fasting and have already seen some progress. i wanted to know, how do yall eat healthy when our primary source of food is rice, roti, naan, spicy oily curries etc? how do you say no to food and still be polite about it with relatives? i feel like people in our countries are very uneducated when it comes to nutrition and weight loss. how do i combat that when i have to eat whatever desi food is cooked for the day? my parents mostly rely on carbs, and completely ignore the fact that a high protein low carb diet is the best for me right now. my mom literally said chicken will make me fat when i took more than one piece of chicken. LOL. im a bit tired of all this false nutrition my parents and relatives believe. im tired of everyone constantly telling me to eat and "educating" me on food when none of them have done any reserch on it whatsoever. no wonder every member of my family deal with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, ect by the time they reach 40. im trying to change, im trying to tell myself this high carb low protein diet that my culture has instilled in me is bad for my health, but its so hard fixing myself when everyone around me is forcing me to eat and i already have a hard time saying no to food.

sorry for this rant, would love some advise or tips on how to make this journey easier. thanks.

also, i try my best to cook my own food. but im busy and our family is one where everyone eats the same thing at the same time. so its hard to maneuver through that.
