How to consume Idli, Masala Dosa, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli and masala dosa you consume. Eating smaller portions helps in moderating the glucose spike.

Balanced Meal Composition

Pair idli, dosa, and sambar with foods rich in protein such as eggs or tofu, and healthy fats like avocado. This combination can help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Add Fiber

Include fiber-rich foods in your meal, such as vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. Fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.

Include Legumes

Incorporate a small serving of legumes, such as lentils or chickpeas, in your meal. These can complement sambar and add additional protein and fiber.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and can moderate blood sugar levels.

Eat Mindfully

Chew your food slowly and savor each bite. Eating at a slower pace can reduce the risk of overeating and help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal. This can enhance insulin sensitivity and help in glucose metabolism.

Meal Timing

Consider having your meal at a consistent time every day to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Cinnamon

Incorporate a small amount of cinnamon into your diet. It may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

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