How to consume homemade - upma, tea with milk and sugar without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of upma to limit the carbohydrate intake which can help in managing glucose levels.
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg or a handful of nuts, which can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber
Enhance the fiber content of your meal by including vegetables like spinach, peas, or carrots in your upma to slow down digestion and minimize glucose spikes.
Choose Whole Grains
Use whole-grain semolina or mix in small amounts of rolled oats into your upma for a more gradual release of sugars.
Opt for a Sugar Substitute
Consider using a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit extract in your tea instead of sugar to reduce the overall carbohydrate content.
Include a Salad
Start your meal with a small salad made of low-carb vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce to add bulk and promote satiety, which can help reduce the spike.
Drink Tea Without Milk
Have your tea black or use a plant-based milk alternative that is lower in carbohydrates and sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before your meal to aid digestion and help you feel fuller, which can prevent overeating and its subsequent impact on glucose levels.
Add Lemon
Squeeze some lemon juice over your upma. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar response.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to enhance digestion and absorption, preventing rapid increases in blood sugar levels.
