How to consume Indian lunch without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of high-carb foods such as rice and naan. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels.

Include Protein

Add protein-rich foods to your meal, such as lentils (dal), chickpeas (chana), or paneer. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Vegetables

Include plenty of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, cauliflower, and okra. They are low in carbohydrates and can help balance your meal.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grains like quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice. They are absorbed more slowly by the body.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal, which can help reduce the speed at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and control hunger.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew each bite thoroughly. Eating slowly can help with portion control and digestion.

Limit Sugary Drinks

Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water, herbal tea, or buttermilk.

Monitor Carbohydrate Sources

Be mindful of hidden carbs in sauces or side dishes and adjust your portion sizes accordingly.

Exercise

Consider taking a short walk after your meal to help your body use the glucose more effectively.
