How to consume cooked rice, english kala chana without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of cooked rice and kala chana to help manage the glucose spike. Smaller servings can lead to lower blood sugar levels.

Combine with Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your meal with high-fiber foods like non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers) to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil to your meal. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate lean protein sources like chicken breast, tofu, or fish. Protein can help slow the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce glucose spikes.

Cook Rice Al Dente

Cook rice until it is just tender rather than soft and mushy. This can help reduce the rapid rise in blood sugar levels.

Opt for Basmati or Brown Rice

Choose basmati or brown rice over white rice as they typically have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Mix Grains

Combine rice with other low-impact grains like quinoa or barley to create a balanced carbohydrate profile.

Use Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal can help moderate blood sugar increases.

Eat in Order

Start your meal with vegetables and protein before consuming rice and kala chana. This can slow down glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid eating large portions of rice and kala chana late in the evening. Eating when you are more active can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.
