How to consume Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of sambar to limit carbohydrate intake, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Fiber-Rich Additions

Pair your sambar with high-fiber foods like lentils, chickpeas, or beans. These foods can slow down the absorption of sugar in your bloodstream.

Protein Pairing

Add a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or eggs to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Whole Grains

Instead of white rice, serve sambar with whole grains such as quinoa, barley, or brown rice to slow the release of sugar into your bloodstream.

Vegetable Increase

Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables in your meal. Vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or zucchini can help balance the meal and reduce glucose spikes.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or seeds in your meal. Fats can slow the digestion process and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Vinegar Addition

Consider adding a splash of vinegar to your sambar or salad. Vinegar can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the post-meal glucose spike.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger cues. This can prevent overeating and help control blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after meals to help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.
