How to consume Poha - dry homemade poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Begin by reducing the portion size of poha you consume to help manage the carbohydrate load.

Protein Addition

Enhance your poha with a source of protein, such as boiled eggs, chickpeas, or a handful of nuts, to slow down the digestion process.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of seeds (flaxseeds or chia seeds) to your poha for more balanced macronutrient intake.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add more vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or carrots to your poha to increase fiber content, which can help moderate the glucose response.

Pre-meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and control appetite.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Consider consuming a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in water before your meal, as it may help in moderating postprandial glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a 10-15 minute walk, after eating to help with glucose metabolism.

Meal Spacing

Avoid consuming poha as a standalone large meal. Instead, pair it with other low-carb dishes or consume smaller portions throughout the day.

Herbal Teas

Drink herbal teas like cinnamon or ginger tea after your meal, which may aid in maintaining balanced glucose levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels to understand how different variations of poha affect you personally and adjust your consumption accordingly.
