How to consume english medu vada, idli without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a serving of protein like Greek yogurt or a boiled egg. Protein can help moderate the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Fiber
Include vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, or cucumbers in your meal. Fiber helps slow down the digestion process, reducing spikes in blood sugar levels.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, make the idli with whole grains like brown rice or include millet in the batter. Whole grains break down more slowly in the body.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small serving of healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a side of avocado. Fats help slow carbohydrate absorption.
Portion Control
Limit the number of medu vadas and idlis you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can reduce the impact on your blood sugar.
Timing of the Meal
Avoid consuming these foods on an empty stomach. Having a balanced meal earlier can help stabilize your glucose levels when you eat the vada or idli.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can help in the digestion process and prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Physical Activity
Plan a short walk or light exercise session after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.
Fermented Foods
Incorporate fermented foods like a small serving of kimchi or sauerkraut. These foods contain beneficial bacteria that can aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating medu vada and idli. This can help you identify specific triggers and adjust your diet accordingly.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.

Ultrahuman M1 has done what meal plans and diets have failed to do; make me better without all the restrictions.
