How to consume Besan Chilla without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the besan chilla. Smaller portions can help in reducing the overall glucose spike.
Fiber Addition
Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into the batter. Fiber slows down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Pair with Protein
Add a side of boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts like almonds to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Vegetable Inclusion
Add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or grated zucchini to the batter to add bulk and nutrients, which can help moderate glucose responses.
Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado or a small amount of olive oil in your meal to assist in slowing down carbohydrate absorption.
Eat Slowly
Take your time eating the besan chilla, as eating slowly can help with better digestion and a more gradual increase in blood sugar.
Pre-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before consuming your meal to help enhance insulin sensitivity.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before eating, as staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Spice it Up
Use spices like cinnamon or turmeric, which have been shown to have a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels.
Consistent Meal Timing
Try to eat meals at regular intervals to help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
