How to consume english indian dal palak, plain paratha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both the dal palak and paratha. Smaller portions will help in managing the glucose spike.

Protein Addition

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to your meal. Protein slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add more fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. Fiber slows digestion and absorption of nutrients, preventing rapid glucose spikes.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small handful of nuts (like almonds or walnuts) with your meal. Fats can help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Whole Grain Alternatives

If possible, switch to whole-grain parathas instead of plain parathas. Whole grains have a slower digestion rate and can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and reduce the increase in blood sugar.

Meal Timing

Consider eating your meal at a time of day when you are more active, such as before a walk or light exercise, which can help use up the glucose from the meal more efficiently.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew your food thoroughly. This helps in better digestion and can slow down the absorption process.

Balanced Meal

Ensure your meal is well-balanced with carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in proper proportions to avoid spikes in blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Focus on eating mindfully by avoiding distractions and paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues, which can help prevent overeating.
