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

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of idli and coconut chutney to manage the carbohydrate load in one meal. Start with one idli and a small serving of chutney, then assess your glucose response.

Add Fiber

Incorporate more fiber into your meal by adding a side of vegetables such as a mixed salad or steamed greens. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

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

Timing of Meals

Avoid consuming idli and coconut chutney on an empty stomach. Eating them after consuming some protein or fiber-rich food can help moderate the glucose response.

Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats, such as a few nuts or seeds, to further slow the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal, as staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how your body responds to different foods and adjust your diet accordingly.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after meals to help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Choose Fermented Options

If available, opt for fermented versions of idli, as the fermentation process can reduce the carbohydrate content and lead to a gentler blood sugar response.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing your food thoroughly and eating slowly, which can help improve digestion and reduce the likelihood of glucose spikes.
