How to consume indian chole, steamed rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both the chole and steamed rice to help manage the glucose spike. Smaller servings can minimize the impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal. They can slow down the absorption of glucose in the bloodstream.

Include a Protein Source

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils. Proteins can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Brown Rice

If possible, switch from white rice to brown rice, which is more slowly digested and can help control the spike.

Use Whole Chickpeas

Ensure that the chole is made with whole chickpeas rather than pureed. Whole legumes take longer to digest, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado slices or a sprinkle of chia seeds, which can slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Drink Water Before Eating

Consuming a glass of water before your meal can aid in digestion and contribute to a sense of fullness, potentially reducing the quantity you consume.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in a light physical activity, such as a 15-30 minute walk, after eating. Physical activity helps muscles use glucose more efficiently.

Chew Thoroughly

Take time to chew your food well, which aids in digestion and can help in controlling the speed at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to consume meals at regular intervals to maintain consistent blood sugar levels rather than experiencing spikes and drops.
