How to consume Idli without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a serving of protein-rich foods such as eggs, paneer, or a small amount of chicken to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds into your meal. These fats can help moderate the spike by slowing digestion.

Opt for Whole Grains

When possible, choose whole grain options. If making idli, consider adding whole grain or millet flour to the batter.

Add Fiber

Include a side of leafy green vegetables or a salad with your meal. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Monitor portion sizes to prevent overeating, which can lead to higher spikes in glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal. This can aid in digestion and help manage your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk post-meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and better regulate blood sugar responses.

Fermented Foods

Include a small portion of fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi to support digestion and possibly influence blood sugar control.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels, especially after meals, to understand how your body responds to different foods and adjust accordingly.
