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.
