How to consume Dosa, Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion sizes of dosa and upma you consume. Smaller servings can help moderate the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein

Add a side of protein-rich foods such as boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or a glass of milk with your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to prevent spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts (almonds or walnuts) to your meal. Fats can also slow carbohydrate absorption and stabilize blood sugar.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or a salad with mixed greens. This can help in slowing the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Pre-meal Snack

Before consuming dosa or upma, have a small snack with fiber and protein, such as apple slices with peanut butter or a small serving of Greek yogurt with berries.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body better manage sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal. This can enhance insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to signal fullness, which can prevent overeating and potential spikes in glucose levels.

Experiment with Ingredients

Prepare dosa or upma with alternative flours such as buckwheat or oat flour, which have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to traditional ingredients.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to different meals and adjust your eating habits accordingly. This personalized approach can help you better manage glucose spikes.
