How to consume english medu vada, idli, restaurant - mysore bonda without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the foods that cause the spike. Smaller portions can result in smaller glucose increases.

Balanced Meal Composition

Pair these high-carb foods with protein and healthy fats. Consider adding grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer along with avocados or nuts to your meal to slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include foods that are high in fiber, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or legumes like lentils and chickpeas. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing the absorption of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after meals. Staying well-hydrated aids in digestion and can help manage glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as taking a walk after meals. This can help your body use glucose more effectively.

Time Your Carbs Wisely

Try consuming these foods earlier in the day when your body might handle sugars better due to more activity and metabolism.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers in your meal. These can add volume and nutrients to your meal without causing glucose spikes.

Experiment with Fermented Foods

Incorporate fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi, which can improve gut health and potentially aid in glucose regulation.

Choose Sourdough or Whole Grain

If you’re having bread with your meal, opt for sourdough or whole grain options instead of plain white bread.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body reacts to different combinations of foods and adjust your future meals based on your observations.
