How to consume Chutney, Rice Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the rice idli and chutney. Consider having more sambar, which typically contains vegetables and lentils, providing additional fiber.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a side of leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, which can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein, such as a small serving of Greek yogurt or a boiled egg, to your meal. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Switch Base

Opt for idli made with a mix of rice and lentils or substitute with whole-grain or millet-based idli varieties for added fiber and nutrients.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a drizzle of olive oil or a few nuts, to your meal to further help in moderating glucose absorption.

Hydration

Drink water before your meal to promote satiety and avoid overeating, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Slow Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite, which helps in better digestion and control over portion sizes.

Pre-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk before eating, which can improve insulin sensitivity.

Fermented Foods

Pair your meal with a small serving of fermented foods like a spoonful of kimchi or sauerkraut to aid digestion and metabolic response.

Monitor Chutney Ingredients

Make chutney with more vegetables or ingredients low in sugar, such as coconut or tomato, rather than those high in sugar or starch.
