How to consume english dal, white rice (long grain, unenriched, parboiled, cooked) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of both the dal and white rice. Smaller servings can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu. Protein can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Choose Brown Rice
Swap white rice for brown rice, which has a lower impact on blood sugar levels due to its higher fiber content.
Include Vegetables
Add a variety of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli. These are low in carbohydrates and can help balance your meal.
Use Lentils Instead of Dal
Substitute traditional dal with lentils like green or black lentils, which have a gentler impact on blood sugar levels.
Add Vinegar
Consider using a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice on your meal. The acidity can help lower the blood sugar response.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water or herbal tea with your meal to aid digestion and reduce the possibility of a spike.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew food thoroughly, which can aid in better digestion and slower absorption of carbohydrates.
Exercise Post-Meal
Consider a short walk or light physical activity after eating to help in utilizing the glucose more effectively.
