How to consume Idli, Ragi Dosa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the idli or ragi dosa you consume. Smaller portions can lead to a smaller glucose spike.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein with your meal. Consider having it with boiled eggs, cottage cheese, or a lentil-based side dish to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Pair your meal with healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. You could also cook your dosa in a small amount of olive oil or add a spoonful of yogurt on the side.

Increase Fiber

Add vegetables to your ragi dosa batter or serve your idli with a side of a fiber-rich salad. Options like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers can be mixed into the batter or served alongside.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal, as hydration can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and eat at a slower pace to allow your body more time to process carbohydrates and manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Incorporate a Pre-Meal Walk

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, before eating to help prepare your body for better glucose management.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try eating your carbohydrate-heavy meals earlier in the day when your body might be more insulin sensitive.

Use a Balanced Plate Method

Ensure your meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This will aid in slowing down carbohydrate absorption and managing glucose spikes.

Experiment with Fermentation

Fermenting the batter longer can increase the probiotic content, potentially aiding in better digestion and glucose control.
