How to consume dosa | poha without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Incorporate a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or eggs alongside your dosa or poha to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds (e.g., chia or flaxseeds) to slow down the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli to your dosa or poha to increase fiber content and improve glucose control.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, opt for whole grain or multi-grain versions of dosa or poha to increase the fiber content.
Hydrate Adequately
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Engage in Light Physical Activity
Consider taking a gentle walk for 10-15 minutes after eating to help utilize excess glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Be mindful of your portion sizes to avoid consuming excessive carbohydrates that can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels.
Add Legumes
Consider incorporating a side of legumes such as lentils or chickpeas, which are low in carbohydrates.
Spread Out Carbohydrate Intake
If consuming a full portion of dosa or poha leads to spikes, try dividing your meal into smaller portions throughout the day.
Mindful Eating Practices
Eat slowly and mindfully, focusing on chewing thoroughly and being aware of your body's hunger and fullness cues to prevent overeating.
