How to consume Chutney, Idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the amount of chutney consumed with idli. Smaller portions can help mitigate the glucose spike.

Add Fiber

Include more fiber in your meal by pairing idli with vegetables like spinach or kale, or adding a side salad. Fiber can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Protein Boost

Include a protein source such as boiled eggs, a small serving of cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts. Protein helps in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meal, such as a small amount of olive oil or avocados. These can help slow digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration aids in digestion and can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Choose Complex Carbs

Opt for whole grain or multigrain idlis if possible, as they digest slower compared to refined versions.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your meal or in your beverage. Cinnamon is known to help in managing blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to hunger cues. This can prevent overeating and help in better digestion.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming such meals to understand how your body responds and make adjustments as necessary.
