How to consume Idli wada without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli and wada to minimize the carbohydrate load and its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as a boiled egg or cottage cheese, alongside your meal to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber vegetables or a small salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to your meal to help moderate glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for idlis made with whole grains or mixed millet varieties. These alternatives digest more slowly compared to the traditional rice-based idli.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats like avocado or a handful of nuts to your meal to further slow digestion and prevent spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help digestion and control hunger, reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time while eating and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process and regulate blood sugar more effectively.

Exercise Post-Meal

Consider a light walk or gentle exercise after eating to help your body manage glucose levels better.

Monitor Meal Timing

Have your meal at regular intervals and avoid long gaps between meals to maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Herbal Aids

Drink herbal teas such as cinnamon or fenugreek tea, which are known to aid in the regulation of blood sugar levels.
