How to consume english medu vada, sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the number of medu vadas you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help manage glucose levels more effectively.

Pairing with Protein

Include a source of protein in your meal, such as a serving of grilled chicken, paneer, or tofu. Protein slows down carbohydrate absorption, reducing spikes.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Fiber helps moderate the rise in blood sugar levels after meals.

Choose Whole Grains

If you can, replace a portion of the medu vada with a small serving of whole-grain items, like quinoa or millet, which are better for maintaining stable glucose levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a small handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Fats can help slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal. Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger, leading to overeating. Proper hydration can help with digestion and glucose regulation.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small snack 30 minutes before your meal, such as a piece of fruit like an apple or a handful of berries. This can help moderate blood sugar spikes by reducing hunger and slowing down food intake during the main meal.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or some physical activity after eating. This can help your muscles use glucose more effectively and reduce post-meal spikes.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite. This can prevent overeating and allow your body to signal fullness before you consume excess calories.

Meal Timing

Try to have your meals at regular intervals throughout the day. This consistency helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and prevents spikes.
