How to consume Oats upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of oats upma to prevent a significant glucose spike. Start with half your usual serving and monitor your body's response.

Protein Addition

Add a source of protein like boiled eggs, paneer, or tofu to your oats upma to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Mix in healthy fats like nuts (almonds, walnuts) or seeds (chia seeds, flaxseeds) to your oats upma. These can help moderate the glucose response.

Fiber Boost

Incorporate more fiber into your meal by adding vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or carrots to your oats upma.

Use Rolled or Steel-Cut Oats

Opt for rolled or steel-cut oats instead of instant oats, as they have a more gradual impact on blood glucose levels.

Lemon Juice or Vinegar

Add a splash of lemon juice or a small amount of vinegar to your dish. The acidity can help slow down carbohydrate digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal to help with digestion and potentially minimize glucose spikes.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food, which can help in reducing rapid glucose spikes.

Frequent Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels regularly to understand how oats upma impacts you and adjust your diet accordingly.
