How to consume dosa, sambar, tea with milk and sugar without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a source of protein with your meal. You could add a side of grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate high-fiber foods like a small salad with mixed greens or a side of cooked lentils. Fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion process.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the dosa and focus on eating slowly to better manage your blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, make dosa using whole grain or mixed grain batter such as a combination of rice and lentils or chickpea flour, which can have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Limit Sugar in Tea

Reduce the amount of sugar in your tea or consider using a sugar substitute. Additionally, opt for low-fat or plant-based milk alternatives.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as a small amount of nuts or seeds on the side. This can help slow the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage the breakdown of carbohydrates more effectively.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help your body use up some of the glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how different quantities and combinations of foods affect your blood sugar levels to better understand and manage your personal responses.

Consult a Nutritionist

For personalized advice, consider consulting with a nutritionist or dietitian who can help tailor a meal plan that works best for your needs.
