Moong sprouts (1 piece)

Reduce the moong-sprout portion and avoid eating it alone; start with a small bowl and assess your response.

Combine sprouts with protein and healthy fat, such as tofu, paneer, egg, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, lettuce, capsicum, or broccoli to increase volume and fiber.

Dress the salad with lemon juice or vinegar and avoid sweet chutneys, sugar, jaggery, dates, or sweetened sauces.

Choose steamed or lightly cooked sprouts if raw sprouts cause a larger response, and avoid pairing them with rice, bread, potatoes, or sugary drinks.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal and avoid prolonged sitting.
