How to consume english dal without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of the dal you consume. Smaller portions can help prevent a significant spike in glucose levels.
Add Fiber-Rich Foods
Pair the dal with fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower. Fiber aids in slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include sources of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Protein
Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to your meal. Protein can help reduce the rate of glucose absorption.
Choose Whole Grains
Opt for whole grain options like brown rice or quinoa as a side with your dal, as they have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Adequate hydration can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Mind the Timing
Try having meals at regular intervals and avoid long gaps between meals, which can lead to larger glucose spikes when you do eat.
Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice
A splash of vinegar or lemon juice over your dal can help lower the impact on your blood sugar.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and slower absorption of sugars.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect you, and adjust your diet accordingly.
