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

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of cooked rice and kala chana to decrease the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Combine with Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Pair your meal with a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. The fiber in these vegetables can help slow the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil into your meal. These fats can help slow down the digestion process and reduce the spike.

Include Lean Proteins

Add a source of lean protein such as chicken, tofu, or fish to your meal. Protein slows the digestion of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of large meals. This can help maintain steadier blood sugar levels.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew food thoroughly, which aids digestion and can reduce the speed of glucose absorption.

Drink Water

Hydrate before and during the meal to help with digestion and control appetite.

Cook with Minimal Processing

Avoid overcooking rice and kala chana, as less processed foods have a slower rate of absorption.

Use Brown or Black Rice

Substitute white rice with brown or black rice, as they have a slower impact on blood sugar levels compared to more refined grains.

Physical Activity Post-Meal

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