How to consume english ghee, idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli and ghee to minimize the glucose spike. Smaller amounts can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein such as scrambled eggs, paneer, or a handful of nuts alongside your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, carrots, or bell peppers. These can help slow down the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Use a moderate amount of ghee as it is a fat, but consider adding other healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of nuts which can support gradual glucose release.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain blood sugar balance.

Pre-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk for 10-15 minutes before your meal to improve insulin sensitivity.

Herbal Infusions

Consider sipping on herbal teas like cinnamon or ginger tea after your meal, as they may have beneficial effects on blood sugar regulation.

Balanced Meal

Ensure that your meal is balanced with all macronutrients. Pair idli and ghee with lentils or legumes to create a more balanced plate.

Meal Timing

Try to have your meal at consistent times each day to help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of how your body reacts to certain foods and adjust your diet accordingly. This can help you identify what works best for you.
