How to consume Dosa without glucose spikes

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Pair your dosa with a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or paneer, and healthy fats like avocado or nuts. This combination can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli as a side or filling in your dosa. The fiber content can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole-Grain or Millet Dosa

Choose dosas made from whole grains or millets, such as brown rice or finger millet, which digest more slowly compared to their refined counterparts.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal to help with digestion and overall metabolism.

Control Portion Size

Eat smaller portions of dosa to manage the carbohydrate load and prevent a significant glucose spike.

Include Vinegar

Consider having a small salad with vinegar-based dressing before or with your meal. The acetic acid in vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Go for a Post-Meal Walk

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk, after eating to help reduce blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to maintain consistent eating times each day to help your body better regulate blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to aid digestion and avoid overeating.

Consult a Nutritionist

If managing blood sugar spikes is a consistent challenge, consider seeking personalized advice from a healthcare professional.
