How to consume english indian chana masala, wheat chapati without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of chana masala and chapati. Smaller portions will naturally result in a smaller glucose spike.

Increase Vegetable Intake

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower. These vegetables can help slow digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein

Include a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or plain Greek yogurt. Protein helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and can mitigate the effects of the meal.

Choose Whole Wheat Chapati

Opt for chapatis made from whole wheat flour, as they have more fiber compared to those made with refined flour, helping to slow the release of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Consider adding healthy fats to your meal, such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil. These fats can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal, which can aid digestion and help control blood sugar spikes.

Use Lentils

Substitute a portion of the chickpeas in the chana masala with lentils, as they tend to have a less immediate effect on blood sugar.

Monitor Cooking Methods

Avoid overcooking the chapati and chana masala, as cooking methods can influence the rate at which food is digested and absorbed.

Add Spices

Include spices like cinnamon or turmeric, which may have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.
