Start by reducing the portion size of lentils in your meals. Smaller portions can help manage the glucose spike.

Pair lentils with non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, kale, or spinach to slow down digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Add healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or seeds into your meal to help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include a source of lean protein like chicken breast, tofu, or fish in your meals to aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Avoid overcooking lentils, as this can increase their impact on blood sugar. Aim for a firmer texture to slow down digestion.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process carbohydrates more effectively.

Use vinegar or lemon juice in your lentil dishes to help slow down the rate at which carbohydrates are broken down.

Engage in regular physical activity to help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels.

Instead of having large meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to avoid large spikes in glucose.

Practice mindful eating by taking your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy your meals, which can aid in better digestion and blood sugar control.
