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.
