How to consume chai, english moong dal chilla without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Eat smaller portions of moong dal chilla and limit the intake of chai to reduce the overall carbohydrate load.

Protein Addition

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or low-fat yogurt to your meal, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your chilla batter or as a side dish to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or a small amount of olive oil. These can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Whole Grains

If you consume carbohydrates with your meal, opt for whole grains like quinoa, barley, or brown rice which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Increase Water Intake

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help dilute blood sugar levels and aid digestion.

Herbs and Spices

Use herbs and spices such as cinnamon, fenugreek, and turmeric, which may help in regulating blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating to help lower blood sugar levels through increased insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Timing

Try to eat your meals at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals, which can help in maintaining steady blood sugar levels.

Avoid Sugary Additives

Skip adding sugar or sweet syrups to your chai. Consider using a natural sweetener like stevia if needed.
