How to consume english kala chana, plain paratha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of both kala chana and plain paratha to keep the carbohydrate load manageable.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein in your meal, such as a boiled egg or a serving of Greek yogurt, to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal to further reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption.

Choose Whole-Grain Paratha

Opt for whole-grain or multigrain paratha instead of plain paratha to increase fiber content, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Add Vegetables

Increase the fiber content of your meal by adding non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or cucumbers. These can help slow the digestion process.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to process carbohydrates more effectively.

Regular Exercise

Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine to improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Observe and adjust the timing of your meals. Ensure you’re not eating too close to bedtime or too soon after your last meal.

Frequent Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to better understand how your body responds to certain foods and make necessary adjustments.
