How to consume Millet pongal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the millet pongal you consume. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose response.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your millet pongal. Fiber helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a source of protein such as tofu, chickpeas, or lentils. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like nuts (almonds or walnuts) or seeds (chia or flaxseeds) to your meal, which can help reduce glucose spikes.

Vinegar Addition

Consider adding a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal. The acidity can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Pre-Meal Snack

Before eating millet pongal, have a small snack that includes protein and fat, such as a few nuts or a piece of cheese, to reduce the rapid absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and reduce spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, chewing thoroughly to aid digestion and absorption.

Balanced Meal

Pair your meal with a salad or a side of non-starchy vegetables to help balance blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating, which can help improve glucose metabolism and reduce spikes.
