How to consume english arhar dal, plain paratha without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of both the arhar dal and paratha. Smaller amounts can lead to a smaller increase in glucose levels.
Fiber Addition
Incorporate high-fiber foods like leafy green vegetables or a side salad with your meal. Foods like spinach or kale can help slow down glucose absorption.
Protein Pairing
Add a source of protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer, to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or a handful of nuts, which can help reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption.
Whole Grains
If possible, opt for whole grain or multigrain options instead of plain paratha, which can be more slowly digested.
Non-Starchy Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini to your meal for additional fiber and nutrients.
Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Consider adding a splash of vinegar or squeezing lemon juice over your dal or salad. These can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Cooking Method
Use cooking methods like steaming or grilling rather than frying to reduce added fats and calories.
Meal Timing
Eat at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals, which can lead to larger spikes when you do eat.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water throughout the meal to help with digestion and to maintain healthy glucose levels.
