How to consume english arhar dal, plain paratha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the plain paratha. Instead of eating a whole paratha, try half or a smaller piece.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer with your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or a handful of nuts (like almonds or walnuts). Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers in your meal. These vegetables are high in fiber and can help slow digestion.

Whole Grains

Replace plain paratha with a whole grain version like whole wheat paratha. The extra fiber in whole grains can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the meal and the day. Proper hydration helps in maintaining stable glucose levels.

Exercise

Engage in a light walk or some form of physical activity after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can aid digestion and reduce the glucose spike.

Balanced Meal

Ensure your meal is well-balanced with a good mix of protein, fats, and fiber alongside your carbohydrates.

Avoid Sugary Beverages

Skip sugary drinks and opt for water or unsweetened beverages with your meal to prevent additional sugar intake.
