How to consume english hot lentil rice dish without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the lentil rice dish to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed at once.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to increase fiber intake, which can slow down glucose absorption.

Include Protein Sources

Add a side of grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. These options digest more slowly, providing a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil. This can aid in slowing down the digestion process.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during the meal. Proper hydration can support metabolic processes and help manage blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Go for a short walk after eating to help utilize some of the glucose from the meal and improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Meal Timing

Aim to eat meals at regular intervals to keep blood sugar levels stable throughout the day and avoid large spikes.

Cook at Home

When possible, prepare the dish at home to have better control over ingredients and cooking methods, allowing for healthier modifications.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to hunger cues. This practice can help prevent overeating and assist in better digestion.
