How to consume indian chole, plain paratha without glucose spikes

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of cooked non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or green beans to your meal. Fiber helps slow the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils alongside your chole and paratha. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

Instead of plain paratha, try making paratha using whole wheat flour or multigrain flour which have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small serving of healthy fats like avocado, a handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts), or a spoonful of chia seeds to your meal to help slow glucose absorption.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of chole and paratha and balance it with more vegetables and protein on your plate.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and reduce the intensity of glucose spikes.

Meal Timing

Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of large ones to better manage blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food and regulate blood sugar levels more efficiently.

Monitor Ingredients

When preparing chole, use less oil and opt for healthier cooking methods, such as baking or steaming, to reduce unhealthy fats that can exacerbate glucose spikes.
