How to consume Sambar, Uttapam without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of sambar and uttapam you consume. Smaller portions can help moderate the glucose spike.

Increase Vegetable Intake

Add more non-starchy vegetables to your meal. Options like spinach, bell peppers, and broccoli can be incorporated into your uttapam or served on the side to enhance fiber content.

Include Protein

Pair your meal with protein-rich foods such as lentils, chickpeas, or a side of grilled chicken or tofu. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, prepare uttapam using whole grain or multigrain flour instead of refined flour to increase fiber content.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, like avocado slices or a small amount of olive oil, to your meal to help slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after meals to assist in glucose regulation.

Monitor Ingredients

Be mindful of the ingredients in your sambar, opting for those with lower carbohydrate content and adding more fiber-rich legumes.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time eating and chew your food thoroughly to promote better digestion and slower glucose release.

Regular Meal Timing

Try to maintain a regular eating schedule to help your body better manage glucose levels throughout the day.
