Poha (1 Cup) and Tea (Tea India) (1 Serving)

Reduce the poha portion and add plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as peas, carrots, beans, capsicum, and cabbage while cooking it.

Have poha with a protein side such as boiled eggs, paneer, tofu, or unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Add peanuts, almonds, or seeds to the meal to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Avoid sugar, honey, biscuits, and sweetened creamers with tea; choose unsweetened tea or use a small amount of milk without added sugar.

Eat the protein and vegetables first, then have the poha, and avoid having a second serving.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if medically appropriate.
