How to consume Idli, Sambhar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of idlis you consume in one meal. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods like leafy greens, broccoli, or a small salad with your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Pairing

Incorporate a source of protein such as tofu, paneer, or a boiled egg with your meal. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of healthy fats, like avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal. Healthy fats can improve satiety and reduce spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and overall blood sugar control.

Cook with Whole Lentils

When making sambhar, use whole lentils instead of split ones to retain more fiber and nutrients.

Incorporate Vegetables in Sambhar

Add a variety of vegetables to your sambhar, such as spinach, carrots, and bell peppers, to increase fiber content.

Slow Down Eating

Eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the carbohydrates effectively.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Avoid eating idli and sambhar on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Consider having a small protein or fiber-rich snack before the main meal.
