How to consume Dal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of dal you consume in one sitting. Smaller amounts can help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like leafy greens or non-starchy vegetables into your meal. This can slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Pair dal with a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or eggs. Proteins can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Whole Grains

If you eat dal with rice, choose whole grain options like brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice to minimize spikes.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Fats can slow down the digestion process, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration supports digestion and can help control blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to space out meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to avoid large spikes in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to control blood sugar changes.

Mix with Low-Carb Foods

Incorporate low-carb vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or broccoli into your dal or as a side dish to balance the meal.
