Monitor and limit the quantity of cooked lentils you consume in one sitting to prevent excessive glucose spikes.

Add a source of protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or eggs, to your meal. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil into your meals to further moderate blood sugar levels.

Enhance your meal with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli, which can help balance the carbohydrate content.

Use vinegar-based dressings or add lemon juice to your lentils to potentially slow down digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Instead of consuming all your lentils at once, spread them out over smaller meals throughout the day.

Choose whole lentils over processed or split varieties, as they may have a more gradual impact on blood sugar levels.

Cook lentils until just tender and avoid overcooking, as this can increase their effect on blood sugar.

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

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall metabolic processes and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
