How to consume Kachori, Poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your serving size of kachori and poha to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake, which will help in minimizing glucose spikes.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or a handful of nuts with your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber

Add high-fiber foods such as a small salad with leafy greens or a side of steamed vegetables. Fiber helps to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Ensure you are well-hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal. This can help with digestion and stabilize blood sugar.

Timing

Consume kachori and poha earlier in the day when your metabolism is more active, allowing your body more time to manage the carbohydrate load.

Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your poha, as cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Vinegar

Consider a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, before your meal. This can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after your meal. Physical activity can help your muscles use glucose more effectively, reducing blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat, such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to your meal to slow digestion and help control blood sugar levels.

Monitor Carbohydrates

Keep track of your carbohydrate intake throughout the day to ensure you’re not consuming too much at once, which can lead to spikes in blood sugar.
