How to consume homemade - rajma chawal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of rice in your serving and increase the portion of rajma (kidney beans) to balance the meal with more protein and fiber.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate a variety of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli to your meal. These add fiber and nutrients, helping to moderate glucose levels.

Swap White Rice

Use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. They have more fiber and nutrients, which can help in better blood sugar control.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fat, such as a small amount of olive oil or a handful of nuts, which can slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food. This can improve digestion and help prevent overeating, which can lead to spikes in blood sugar.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity before meals to enhance insulin sensitivity.

Incorporate Spices

Use spices like cinnamon or fenugreek in your rajma chawal. These spices have been noted to have a positive effect on blood sugar control.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Keep an eye on the total carbohydrate content of your meal and adjust other meals accordingly to maintain a balanced intake throughout the day.

Regular Meal Timing

Eat at consistent times each day to help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
