Dosa (Saravana Bhavan) (1 Serving) and Idli (1 Piece)

Reduce the portion of the trigger meal; avoid second helpings and keep it to a smaller, measured serving.

Start with a bowl of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, okra, or cauliflower before the meal.

Add protein alongside the meal, such as unsweetened plain curd, paneer, eggs, tofu, or lentils without added sugar.

Include a small serving of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, peanuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds.

Avoid sweetened chutneys, sugary drinks, fruit juice, and desserts with the meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if medically safe for you.
