How to consume Poha, Tea With Milk without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of poha to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake. Consider starting with a smaller serving and assess the impact on your glucose levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein with your meal, such as a boiled egg, tofu, or a small portion of nuts. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Add vegetables like peas, spinach, or bell peppers to your poha. These additions provide fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Timing

Consume your tea with milk separately from your meal by at least 30 minutes. This strategy can help manage the carbohydrate load on your system at one time.

Opt for Unsweetened Tea

Drink your tea without sugar or consider using a sugar substitute to reduce the sugar content.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a teaspoon of ghee or a few slices of avocado, to your poha. Fats can help slow the digestion process and prevent spikes.

Hydration

Ensure you are well-hydrated throughout the day, as proper hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food, which can help prevent overeating and quick spikes in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar response to the meal and adjust the above strategies as needed for optimal control.
