How to consume Sambar, Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of Sambar and Upma to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Add Fiber

Include a side of leafy green vegetables or a salad to your meal. High-fiber foods help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein such as boiled eggs, paneer, or grilled chicken to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, prepare Upma with whole grains like broken wheat instead of refined grains to decrease the impact on blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as a handful of nuts or a spoon of ghee to increase satiety and help manage blood glucose levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before eating to help with digestion and reduce the likelihood of overconsumption of food.

Add Legumes

Include a small serving of legumes like lentils or chickpeas in your Sambar to increase protein and fiber content, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Consume Slowly

Eat your meal slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Timing of Meals

Ensure there is enough time between meals for your body to process glucose efficiently, avoiding unnecessary spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, shortly after meals to help your body use glucose more effectively.
