How to consume english indian filter coffee, idli, masala dosa without glucose spikes

Drink Coffee After Meals

Instead of having English Indian filter coffee before or during breakfast, try drinking it after your meal. This can help mitigate the spike in glucose levels.

Add Protein to Your Meal

Include a source of protein such as boiled eggs, paneer (Indian cottage cheese), or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts with your idli and masala dosa. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats like avocado or a spoonful of coconut oil into your meal. Fats can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, thus reducing glucose spikes.

Consume Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add a portion of fiber-rich vegetables to your meal. Vegetables like spinach, kale, and bell peppers can be added to your masala dosa filling or served alongside your idli.

Use Whole Ingredients

Opt for whole-grain or brown rice idli instead of traditional white rice idli. Whole grains digest more slowly, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Limit Portion Size

Be mindful of your portion sizes. Eating smaller amounts of idli and masala dosa can help keep your glucose levels more stable.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Proper hydration can help manage blood sugar levels.

Use Fermented Foods

Incorporate fermented foods like yogurt (plain and unsweetened) into your meal, as they can aid digestion and have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.

Increase Physical Activity

A short walk after your meal can help lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake in muscles.

Monitor Your Carbohydrate Intake

Balance your meal by not overloading on carbohydrate-heavy foods. Include a mixture of proteins, fats, and fibers to create a balanced plate.
