How to consume Bombay Pav, Pav Bhaji without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the Bombay Pav and Pav Bhaji you consume to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Add high-fiber foods to your meal, such as a side of leafy greens or a small salad, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Pairing

Include a source of protein, like grilled tofu or chickpea salad, alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats Addition

Add a small serving of healthy fats, such as avocado or a handful of nuts, to assist in moderating glucose absorption.

Carb Substitution

Swap out some of the pav with whole grain or multigrain bread options that have a lower carbohydrate content.

Vegetable Increase

Increase the quantity of non-starchy vegetables in the Pav Bhaji to add volume and nutrients while reducing the overall carb density.

Eat Slowly

Take time to eat slowly and chew thoroughly, which can aid in digestion and give your body more time to process the carbs.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, before eating to enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before your meal to help with digestion and potentially reduce the speed at which glucose enters your bloodstream.

Timing Matters

Consider having your meal at a time when you are more active, such as lunch, to allow for better glucose management throughout the day.
