How to consume Indian Buffet without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Take smaller portions of higher carb dishes and balance them with larger servings of vegetables and proteins.

Start with a Salad

Begin your meal with a salad or non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, cucumbers, or tomatoes to help fill you up and slow down the absorption of sugars.

Prioritize Protein

Opt for protein-rich dishes like tandoori chicken, paneer tikka, or lentil-based dals to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

Select whole grain options like brown rice or quinoa over white rice or naan.

Incorporate Legumes

Dishes with chickpeas or lentils, such as chana masala or dal, are great as they provide fiber and protein.

Limit Sugary Dishes

Avoid or take very small portions of dessert items or dishes made with added sugar, like gulab jamun or sweetened lassis.

Hydrate Wisely

Drink water or unsweetened beverages throughout your meal to support digestion and reduce cravings for high-sugar items.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to process the food and help prevent overeating.

Post-Meal Activity

Take a short walk after your meal to help with digestion and lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Pay attention to how your body responds to different foods and adjust your choices in future visits to better manage your glucose levels.
