How to consume chai, kanda poha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of kanda poha and opt for a smaller serving of chai. This will naturally limit the amount of carbohydrates you consume in one sitting.

Incorporate Protein and Fiber

Add a source of protein such as a handful of nuts or seeds to your meal. You can also include a small serving of plain yogurt or cottage cheese. This helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Vegetables

Increase the vegetable content in your poha by adding more diced bell peppers, tomatoes, or spinach. This will add fiber and nutrients.

Drink Unsweetened Chai

Prepare chai with less sugar or use a sugar alternative. Additionally, consider using a plant-based milk like almond or coconut milk that has no added sugars.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat the meal. Eating slowly improves digestion and can help moderate the blood sugar response.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, before eating. Physical activity can help with maintaining better blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Proper hydration aids digestion and can help control hunger, reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Include Lemon or Vinegar

Add a squeeze of lemon or a dash of vinegar to your poha. These can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to different foods and quantities. This will help you adjust your diet more effectively over time.

Consistent Meal Timing

Try to eat your meals at the same time every day to help regulate your body's insulin response.
