How to consume english dal, roti without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the dal and roti you consume. Smaller portions can help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower to your meal. These fibers can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Whole Grain Roti

Opt for whole grain or multigrain roti instead of using refined flour. This will help slow down digestion and the release of glucose.

Protein Addition

Consider adding a source of protein to your meal, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a handful of nuts, with your meal. Fats can also help slow down glucose absorption.

Herbs and Spices

Incorporate spices like cinnamon or fenugreek in your dal preparation. They are known to aid in blood sugar regulation.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Meal Timing

Avoid consuming the meal when your physical activity level is low. Plan to have it when you can be active afterwards, as physical activity helps in utilizing the glucose.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to signal fullness, which can prevent overeating.

Consistency

Try to maintain regular eating patterns and meal timing to keep blood sugar levels more stable throughout the day.
