How to consume Paratha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the paratha you consume. Smaller portions are less likely to cause large spikes in blood glucose.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, eggs, or paneer alongside your paratha. Protein helps slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or olive oil. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of fibrous vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or a salad. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream.

Choose Whole Grains

Make your paratha with whole-grain or multigrain flour instead of refined flour to incorporate more fiber and nutrients.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after meals to help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity like walking for about 10-15 minutes after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.

Eat Mindfully

Chew your food slowly and savor each bite, which can help in better digestion and prevent overeating.

Limit Added Sugars

Avoid consuming parathas with high-sugar accompaniments like sugary chutneys or jams.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to better understand how different foods affect you and make necessary adjustments.
