How to consume Chai, Idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of Idli to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake during the meal.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or a small serving of cottage cheese, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like nuts or a teaspoon of ghee to your meal, which can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Low-Sugar Chai

Prepare your Chai with minimal or no sugar. Consider using unsweetened almond or soy milk instead of regular milk to reduce sugar content.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your Idli with high-fiber vegetables or a small serving of a salad to slow down digestion and prevent a rapid spike in blood sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, make Idlis using whole grain or brown rice batter to enhance the fiber content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before starting your meal to help with digestion and to feel satiated sooner, reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Add Spices

Incorporate spices like cinnamon in your Chai, which may help in regulating blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, to prevent overeating.
