How to consume dosa, english ghee without glucose spikes

Add Protein and Fiber

Incorporate a side of protein such as boiled eggs or a small portion of grilled chicken. Adding fiber-rich vegetables like spinach or tomatoes can also help to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Moderate Portion Size

Keep your portion of dosa moderate. Eating smaller portions can help in managing blood sugar levels more effectively.

Combine with Low-Glycemic Fruits

Pair your meal with fruits such as berries, cherries, or apples. These fruits can help manage blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, make dosa using whole grain or mixed grain batter instead of refined flour. Whole grains digest more slowly and can help prevent spikes.

Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts. Healthy fats can slow the digestion process and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated helps in regulating blood sugar levels.

Use Greek Yogurt

Consider adding a side of Greek yogurt. It’s rich in protein and can help moderate the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in mild physical activity such as a 10-15 minute walk after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, giving your body time to process the food and avoid overeating.

Monitor Regularly

Keep a regular check on your blood glucose levels to understand how your body responds to different foods and adjust your meals accordingly.
