How to consume Idly vada without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idly and vada to help manage the carbohydrate intake, which can influence glucose levels.

Add Protein

Include a side of protein-rich food like boiled eggs or a piece of grilled chicken. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats, such as a spoonful of peanut butter or a few slices of avocado, which can help moderate the blood sugar response.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a serving of a fiber-rich side dish, such as a salad with leafy greens or a bowl of mixed vegetable soup, to help slow down digestion and absorption.

Drink Water Before Eating

Have a glass of water before your meal to help with satiety and potentially reduce overall food intake.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy your meal at a slower pace, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair your meal with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, carrots, or bell peppers to add bulk and nutrients.

Use Whole Ingredients

When possible, opt for idly and vada made with whole or alternative grains, such as millet or quinoa, which may have a more favorable impact on blood sugar.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different portions and combinations affect you personally.
