How to consume fried whole wheat puri or poori bread (indian puffed bread), punjabi chole without glucose spikes

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with a high-fiber salad or side dish like leafy greens, cucumbers, or tomatoes. Fiber can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of nuts. These can help moderate blood sugar spikes by slowing down digestion.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of puri or poori bread and chole. Eating smaller amounts can lessen the rise in blood glucose.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and reduce the speed of sugar absorption.

Add Vinegar

Include a vinegar-based dressing or a splash of vinegar on your salad, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Meal Timing

Eat your meal slowly and avoid eating late at night, giving your body a chance to process the food more effectively.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use up the glucose.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use a whole grain version of puri or poori, or try making it at home with a blend of whole wheat and other lower-carb flours.

Limit Extras

Avoid adding high-sugar or high-fat condiments and choose healthier alternatives to prevent additional glucose spikes.
