How to consume 3 idli without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Include a source of protein such as a boiled egg, paneer, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts alongside your meal.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado slices, a small amount of olive oil drizzled over your idli, or a spoonful of peanut butter on the side.
Incorporate Fiber
Pair the idlis with a serving of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or cucumber salad to increase fiber intake.
Sip on Lemon Water
Drink a glass of water with lemon before your meal to potentially improve your body’s ability to manage blood sugar levels.
Try a Vinegar Drink
Consider having a small amount of apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals, as it may help in controlling blood sugar levels.
Use Fermented Sides
Enjoy idlis with a fermented side dish like sauerkraut or kimchi to support a healthy gut, which can influence blood sugar regulation.
Be Mindful of Portions
If possible, consider reducing the portion to two idlis instead of three, and balance your plate with additional low-carb, high-fiber foods.
Stay Active Post-Meal
Engage in a light activity such as walking for 10-15 minutes after eating to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Ensure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day, which can support overall metabolic processes.
Monitor Carbohydrate Quality
If possible, choose idlis made with whole grains or mixed dals to enhance nutrient density and balance the meal better.
