How to consume Upama without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of Upama to reduce the overall intake of carbohydrates at one time.

Incorporate Fiber

Add vegetables such as spinach, peas, or broccoli to your Upama. These vegetables slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or tofu on the side. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Cook your Upama with a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil or add a sprinkle of nuts such as almonds or walnuts for added satiety and slower digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before meals. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Eat Mindfully

Chew slowly and savor your food to avoid overconsumption and aid digestion.

Combine with a Low-Carb Meal

If possible, pair Upama with a low-carb dish like a leafy green salad to balance the meal.

Exercise

Take a short walk after your meal to improve insulin sensitivity and help manage post-meal blood sugar levels.

Monitor Carbohydrates

Be mindful of the total carbohydrate content in your meal and balance it throughout the day.

Regular Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals, as this can lead to larger spikes when you do eat.
