How to consume Quinoa, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of quinoa consumed in one sitting. Try to balance it with a larger portion of non-starchy vegetables to help mitigate the spike in glucose levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include foods like chickpeas or lentils in your meal. These are high in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Include avocado or a sprinkle of nuts like almonds or walnuts in your meal. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Protein Pairing

Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, which can help balance the meal and reduce rapid glucose increases.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during the meal to aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Foods

Incorporate whole foods like spinach or kale into your meal, as they are beneficial for maintaining steady blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to process the carbohydrates more gradually.

Active Post-Meal

Engage in a light walk or other gentle physical activity after eating to help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Herbal Teas

Consider having a cup of unsweetened herbal tea after the meal, which may help in regulating blood sugar.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid consuming large quantities of quinoa and sambar late at night when your body's metabolism may be slower.
