How to consume Sambhar, Uttapam without glucose spikes

Portion Control

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

Add Fiber

Incorporate more fibrous vegetables into your meals, such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. These can be added to sambhar or served as a side dish to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Increase Protein Intake

Include a source of protein such as lentils, chickpeas, or tofu in your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote a feeling of fullness.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, make uttapam with whole-grain batter or mix in some oats. Whole grains digest more slowly, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats to your meal, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. Healthy fats can slow down digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying well-hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Mindfully

Take your time to chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. Mindful eating can improve digestion and help keep blood sugar levels stable.

Balance Your Plate

Ensure your meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats. A well-balanced meal can help mitigate spikes in blood sugar.

Limit Sugary Additions

Avoid adding sugar or high-sugar condiments to your meal, as these can contribute to a larger glucose spike.
