How to consume english kala chana, mixed salad greens without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of kala chana you consume as this can help minimize the glucose spike.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fat to your meal, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. This can slow down the digestion and absorption process, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Add Protein

Incorporate protein-rich foods like grilled chicken, tofu, or hard-boiled eggs to your salad. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Diversify Vegetables

Mix in low-carb vegetables such as cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes to your salad. These can add bulk and fiber without significantly impacting blood sugar.

Vinegar-Based Dressing

Use vinegar-based dressings like balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce post-meal glucose spikes.

Eat Fibrous Foods First

Start your meal with the mixed salad greens before eating kala chana. This can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Hydration

Drink water throughout your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Regular Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after your meal to help utilize the glucose in your bloodstream.

Consistent Meal Timing

Eat at regular intervals to maintain steady blood sugar levels and prevent spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite, which can aid in better digestion and prevent overeating.
