How to consume indian chole, wheat chapati without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of chole and chapati. This helps in managing the overall intake of carbohydrates in one meal, thus reducing the spike.
Add Fiber
Incorporate more fiber-rich foods into your meal. You can add a side salad with lettuce, cucumbers, and bell peppers, which can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Include Protein
Pair your meal with a protein source such as grilled chicken or paneer. Protein can moderate the rise in glucose levels by slowing carbohydrate digestion.
Use Whole Grains
When making chapatis, use whole wheat flour or mix it with other flours like barley or millet to increase the fiber content.
Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats in your meal, such as a small amount of olive oil or avocado. These fats can help slow digestion and maintain stable glucose levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated supports better digestion and can help in moderating blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help with better digestion and can prevent rapid spikes in glucose levels.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before your meal. This can enhance insulin sensitivity and help keep your glucose levels stable.
Add Lemon or Vinegar
Squeeze some lemon juice over your chole or have a side of vinegar-based dressing with your salad. Both can help in managing glucose levels post-meal.
Monitor Timing
Try to avoid eating late at night. Having your meal at least 2-3 hours before bedtime can allow your body to process the carbohydrates more effectively.
