Seviyan Vermicelli (MTR) (1 Serving)

Reduce the seviyan portion and bulk the meal out with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, or cauliflower.

Choose unsweetened whole-wheat or high-fibre seviyan when available, and avoid adding sugar, sweetened milk, dates, raisins, or other sweet toppings.

Add a protein-rich side such as lentils, chickpeas, tofu, paneer, eggs, fish, or chicken; protein can slow the rise after the meal.

Include a small amount of healthy fat, such as almonds, walnuts, peanuts, chia seeds, flaxseed, or olive oil, rather than eating seviyan alone.

Have seviyan after a salad or vegetable-and-protein starter instead of as the first food in the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion size that works best for you.
