How to consume coffee with milk and sugar, english vada, idli without glucose spikes
Modify Beverage Choice
Opt for black coffee or use a sugar substitute like stevia to sweeten your coffee instead of regular sugar. Consider switching whole milk with unsweetened almond milk or skim milk, which have lower effects on blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Reduce the serving size of the English vada and idli. Even small changes in portions can significantly impact glucose levels.
Include Protein
Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg or a small serving of Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and balance your blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats in your meal such as a small handful of nuts or seeds. These can help modulate blood sugar spikes by slowing digestion.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, opt for idlis made from brown rice or add millet to your batter. Whole grains digest slower, providing a steadier release of glucose.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or a small salad. The fiber content can help slow down digestion and glucose absorption.
Increase Fiber Intake
Consider adding a fiber supplement or mixing in some flaxseeds or chia seeds with your meal to enhance fiber intake, which helps in managing blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Consider Activity Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating. This can help your body use the glucose from your meal more efficiently.
Regular Monitoring
Keep a food diary and monitor your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods affect you personally. Adjust your diet accordingly.
