How to consume Chapati, Dal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of chapati and dal you consume in a single meal. Smaller portions can help prevent significant glucose spikes.

Whole Grain Options

Use whole wheat flour to make chapatis, as it is less processed and contains more fiber compared to refined flour, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Increase the fiber content by adding vegetables like spinach, fenugreek leaves, or grated carrots to your chapati dough. Fiber slows down digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Pair your meal with a protein source, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to slow down carbohydrate absorption and reduce glucose spikes.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a few slices of avocado or a spoonful of hummus, to your meal. Fats can help slow the digestion of carbohydrates.

Include a Salad

Start your meal with a salad of non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce, to add volume and fiber without adding significant carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to stay hydrated and aid in digestion, which can help in better managing blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to enhance digestion and allow your body to better regulate blood sugar levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after meals to help your muscles use glucose more effectively, thereby reducing spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after meals and adjust your meal composition based on your observations and any professional dietary advice you receive.
