How to consume South Indian Thali without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of high-carbohydrate items like rice and roti in the thali. Eating smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate more fiber-rich foods in your meal to slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates. Include vegetables like spinach, okra, and cauliflower in your thali.

Include Protein and Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein such as lentils (dal) or chickpeas, and healthy fats like a small serving of nuts or seeds to the meal to balance the blood sugar response.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, replace white rice with millets or brown rice, which are digested more slowly.

Start with Vegetables

Begin your meal with vegetables, which can help to moderate blood sugar levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before or during your meal to aid digestion and help with appetite control.

Avoid Sugary Additions

Skip or minimize the use of sugary sauces, pickles, or desserts that often accompany a thali.

Add Fermented Foods

Include a small serving of yogurt in your meal. The probiotics can help improve digestion and stabilize blood sugar.

Use Spices Wisely

Incorporate spices like cinnamon and turmeric, which may help in managing blood sugar levels.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food, reducing the likelihood of a spike.
