How to consume Indian Buffet without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start with smaller portions and avoid going back for seconds. This helps in managing the overall carbohydrate intake.

Balanced Plate

Include a good mix of proteins, fibers, and healthy fats with your meal. Opt for dishes that contain lean meats, lentils, or chickpeas to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains

Select whole grain options such as brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice or naan. These options are digested more slowly, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more vegetables and legumes to your plate. Consider dishes like dal, saag, or chana masala, which are typically high in fiber.

Limit Sugary and Starchy Foods

Avoid or minimize dishes that are high in sugar or starch, such as gulab jamun, naan, and potatoes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, which can help you feel fuller and reduce the temptation to overeat.

Include Probiotic Foods

Incorporate dishes with yogurt or other fermented ingredients, which can aid in digestion and help maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to help your body signal when it's full, reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, soon after your meal to help your body use up some of the glucose from the food.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of which dishes cause larger spikes for you, and adjust your choices accordingly during future visits to the buffet.
