How to consume Home Cooked - Dal (Lentils) and Basmati Rice , 1/2 cup (45g) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the portion size of both dal and rice. Consider reducing the rice portion further or serving it as a side dish rather than the main component.
Add Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers, into your meal. These can increase fiber content and help slow down glucose absorption.
Protein Addition
Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish, to balance the meal and slow digestion.
Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fats, like a small serving of avocado, a handful of nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Choose Brown Rice
Substitute basmati rice with brown rice or a similar alternative to increase fiber and reduce the impact on blood sugar.
Pre-Meal Snack
Consider having a small, fiber-rich snack before your meal, such as a few almonds or a small apple, to help moderate blood sugar levels.
Cooked Lentils
Ensure that lentils are cooked to a firmer texture as overcooking can increase their impact on blood sugar.
Spice it Up
Use spices like cinnamon or turmeric, which may help with blood sugar regulation, when preparing your meal.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and glucose management.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in a light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to aid in glucose utilization and reduce spikes.
