Cooked Green Cabbage (Fat Added in Cooking) (1 Cup), Roti (1 Medium (7 Inches)) and Dal Yellow (Hommade) (1 Serving)

Reduce the roti portion first—for example, have half a roti—and increase the cooked cabbage and yellow dal portions if tolerated.

Choose a barley-flour roti instead of a regular wheat roti, keeping the serving to one small roti or less.

Start the meal with a non-starchy vegetable salad such as cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, or cabbage before eating the dal and roti.

Add a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, tofu, paneer, eggs, fish, or chicken; avoid sweetened yogurt and sugary sauces.

Prepare the cabbage with a modest amount of added fat and avoid pairing this meal with rice, potatoes, sweets, fruit juice, or sweet drinks.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after the meal, if safe for you, to help blunt the rise.
