How to consume Indian Buffet without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Opt for smaller portions of high-carb dishes. Focus on sampling rather than indulging in large quantities.

Start with Fiber-Rich Foods

Begin your meal with dishes rich in fiber, such as lentil-based soups (like dal), or salads with chickpeas or other beans. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains

When available, choose brown rice or whole-grain roti over white rice or naan to help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Include Protein

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

Add Vegetables

Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables such as saag (spinach), baingan bharta (eggplant), or mixed vegetable curries to increase fiber intake.

Limit Sauces and Gravies

Many Indian dishes come with rich, creamy, or sugary sauces. Try to limit these and instead focus on grilled or dry-cooked options.

Hydrate with Water

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and reduce the temptation to overeat.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to recognize when you’re satisfied, which can help prevent overeating.

Skip Sugary Desserts

If you desire something sweet, opt for a small piece of fruit rather than traditional Indian sweets that are high in sugar.

Plan for Physical Activity

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