How to consume onion uthapam without glucose spikes

Consume Smaller Portions

Reduce the size of your onion uthapam serving to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Include sources of protein and healthy fats such as eggs, paneer (Indian cottage cheese), or Greek yogurt alongside your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate More Fiber

Pair your onion uthapam with high-fiber foods like a side salad with leafy greens, cucumber, and tomatoes. Fiber helps to moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Include Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add a portion of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your meal. These vegetables have a low impact on blood sugar.

Use Whole Grain Batter

If possible, make the uthapam batter using whole grains such as brown rice or quinoa instead of refined grains.

Monitor Your Portions of Onion

Onions have natural sugars that can contribute to blood sugar spikes. Use them in moderation or mix them with other vegetables.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat, chewing thoroughly to aid digestion and better control your blood sugar levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Regular Meal Timing

Maintain consistent meal times to help stabilize your blood sugar levels throughout the day.
