How to consume Chapati, Chai without glucose spikes

Whole Grain Chapati

Opt for chapatis made from whole wheat or multigrain flour, as they have a slower absorption rate compared to refined flour chapatis.

Protein Pairing

Include a source of protein such as a small portion of lentils, beans, or a boiled egg along with your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Fiber Addition

Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal. These can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal, as fats can also slow the absorption of glucose.

Portion Control

Keep an eye on the portion size of your chapati. Smaller portions can help minimize a glucose spike.

Chai Modifications

Use unsweetened or lightly sweetened chai. Consider using a milk alternative like almond or coconut milk, which might have a lower sugar content.

Pre-Meal Water

Drink a glass of water before eating. This can help you feel fuller and may reduce the amount of food you consume.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in a light walk or some form of gentle physical activity after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Herbal Tea

Instead of chai, consider having herbal tea without sugar or with a sugar substitute that won't impact your blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite. This can aid digestion and help control blood sugar spikes.
