How to consume South Indian Thali without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of high-carbohydrate items in the thali, such as rice and breads. Instead of a large serving, opt for smaller amounts.

Protein-Rich Additions

Incorporate more protein-rich foods into your meal. Consider adding a serving of dal (lentils) or chickpeas, which can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Fiber Boost

Increase your intake of high-fiber foods, like green vegetables or salads. Consider adding a serving of spinach or cabbage to your thali.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a few slices of avocado or a tablespoon of nuts, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Vinegar or Lemon

Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your food, which may help in reducing the spike.

Whole Grains

If possible, substitute refined grains with whole grains. Opt for whole-grain rotis instead of white rice.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help digestion and reduce spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to improve digestion and allow your body to better regulate sugar levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating to help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect your body and make necessary adjustments.
