How to consume english indian filter coffee, upma without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein like a boiled egg or Greek yogurt alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of nuts such as almonds or walnuts, or drizzle a bit of olive oil on your upma. Healthy fats can slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add vegetables like spinach, peas, or bell peppers to your upma. Fiber-rich foods help to slow the release of glucose into your bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use whole-grain or millet-based upma instead of the traditional semolina. Whole grains break down more slowly in your body.

Drink Water or Herbal Tea

Instead of filter coffee, try drinking water, green tea, or herbal tea with your meal. These options won't cause a glucose spike and can provide additional health benefits.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your upma and coffee. Smaller portions mean fewer carbohydrates and sugars, leading to a smaller glucose spike.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating. Physical activity can help your muscles use up some of the excess glucose.

Limit Added Sugars

Avoid adding sugar to your coffee or upma. If you need a sweetener, consider using stevia or another low-calorie alternative.

Choose Low-Carb Alternatives

Substitute some of the upma with a lower-carb option like a small serving of cottage cheese or a salad.

Monitor Your Meal Timing

Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large meals. This can help keep your blood sugar levels more stable throughout the day.
