How to consume Idli wada without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of idli and wada to help manage the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods into your meal, such as adding vegetables like spinach, carrots, or cucumbers, which can slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Protein

Pair your meal with a protein-rich side like a small bowl of Greek yogurt or a few boiled eggs to help balance blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for idlis made with brown rice or millet instead of white rice to slow the release of glucose.

Increase Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts) or a slice of avocado, which can aid in reducing glucose spikes.

Eat Mindfully

Slow down your eating pace and chew your food thoroughly to allow your body more time to process and absorb nutrients gradually.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before starting your meal to promote a feeling of fullness and prevent overeating.

Space Your Meals

Avoid eating idli and wada alone as snacks; instead, incorporate them as part of a balanced meal plan to avoid a sharp increase in glucose levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Your Responses

Keep track of how your body responds to different combinations of foods and adjust your meals accordingly to find what works best for you.
