How to consume South Indian Food - Thali without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of high-carbohydrate items like rice and sweets on your plate. Opt for smaller servings to keep glucose levels in check.

Start with a Salad

Begin your meal with a bowl of salad that contains vegetables like cucumber, lettuce, and tomatoes. These help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Focus on Fiber

Include fibrous foods such as lentils (dal) and vegetables like spinach, cauliflower, and okra. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Protein Inclusion

Add protein-rich foods like paneer, tofu, or a small portion of lean meat to your meal. Proteins can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Incorporate Whole Grains

Choose whole grain options such as whole wheat chapati over refined grains like white rice or naan.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, which can help with digestion and controlling blood sugar levels.

Mind the Order

Eat your proteins and vegetables first before moving on to carbohydrates. This can help regulate how quickly your body absorbs sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats like ghee, olive oil, or avocado to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Be Mindful of Desserts

If you choose to have dessert, opt for a small piece of a lower-sugar option or share it with others to minimize intake.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in a light walk or gentle exercise after your meal to help aid digestion and lower post-meal blood sugar levels.
