How to consume indian homemade - besan puda (gram flour pancake) without glucose spikes
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or grated carrots to the batter. These vegetables can slow down the absorption of glucose.
Pair with Protein
Include a side of protein such as a boiled egg, yogurt, or a small serving of paneer to help manage glucose levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Cook your puda in a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil or avocado oil. You can also add seeds such as chia or flaxseeds to the batter.
Control Portion Size
Keep your portion size moderate. Instead of having multiple pudas, try to stick to one or two and balance it with other nutrient-rich foods.
Pre-Meal Hydration
Drink a glass of water before eating your meal. Staying hydrated can help with the digestion process and regulate blood sugar.
Slow Down Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully. Chewing thoroughly can aid digestion and help you recognize when you're full, preventing overeating.
Combine with a Salad
Serve the puda with a side salad made from greens like lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Monitor Timing
Consider having your meal at a consistent time each day to help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
Exercise Post-Meal
Take a brief walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.
Limit Accompaniments with High Sugar Content
Avoid chutneys or spreads that are high in sugar. Opt for yogurt-based or mint chutneys instead.
