How to consume dosa, english indian sweet pongal without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a side of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese when consuming dosa or sweet pongal. Protein helps to slow the absorption of sugars.
Incorporate Fiber
Include fibrous vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or a mixed vegetable salad to your meal to help moderate the glucose spike.
Opt for Whole Grains
Instead of using refined white rice for dosa, try using brown rice or pearl millet to make the batter.
Healthy Fats
Add a small portion of healthy fats like avocado or a handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to your meal.
Portion Control
Reduce the serving size of dosa and sweet pongal. Eating smaller portions can help control glucose levels.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and with your meal to help with digestion and glucose absorption.
Include Legumes
Add a side of boiled chickpeas or lentil soup. These foods can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Spice it Up
Use spices like cinnamon or fenugreek in your recipes, as they are known to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Timing
Avoid consuming sweet pongal on an empty stomach to prevent a rapid glucose spike. Have it as part of a larger meal with other balanced components.
Physical Activity
Take a short walk or engage in light exercise after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
