How to consume Idli, Sambar, Vada without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consider reducing the portion sizes of idli, sambar, and vada to avoid overwhelming your system with too many carbohydrates at once.

Balanced Meal

Pair your meal with protein-rich foods like boiled eggs or a piece of grilled chicken to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Vegetable Addition

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal to add fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fat

Include healthy fats like avocado or a small handful of almonds on the side to further slow carbohydrate absorption.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of lentil soup or a small salad with leafy greens to increase the fiber content of your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and prevent sudden spikes.

Timing of Consumption

Try consuming your meal more slowly, taking breaks between bites, which can help your body process carbohydrates more gradually.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Frequent Smaller Meals

Instead of eating large meals, consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to avoid large spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar response to different meal compositions and adjust accordingly over time to see what works best for you.
