How to consume chapati, english arhar dal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the size of your chapati serving. Smaller portions can help mitigate large glucose spikes.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a side of vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal. These vegetables can slow digestion and reduce the rate of glucose absorption.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a tablespoon of olive oil or a few slices of avocado, to your meal. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew your food well. Eating slowly can prevent overeating and help with better digestion, reducing glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to keep your meals at consistent times each day to help your body maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Try Whole Grains

Consider replacing regular wheat chapati with whole grain or multigrain versions to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include a Side Salad

Start your meal with a green salad that includes lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes. This can fill you up and potentially lessen the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.
