How to consume indian homemade - besan puda (gram flour pancake) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the portion size of besan puda to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates at once, which can lead to a spike in glucose levels.
Balanced Plate Approach
Pair besan puda with a side of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers, which can help moderate the rise in blood sugar.
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or Greek yogurt to your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, preventing a rapid increase in glucose levels.
Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a small handful of nuts. Fats can also slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber
Boost your meal with fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds. Fiber can help slow carbohydrate absorption and promote a gradual rise in blood sugar levels.
Hydration
Drink a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help lower blood sugar levels more quickly.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to aid in digestion and allow your body time to respond appropriately to the meal.
Spice it Up
Use spices like cinnamon or turmeric in your besan puda mix. Some spices have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and aid in blood sugar control.
Monitor Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand better how different foods affect you personally, allowing for more tailored adjustments in your diet.
