How to consume Chai, Plain Paratha without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain Flour

Consider using whole grain or multigrain flour when making parathas. These flours digest more slowly, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein in your meal, such as a boiled egg or a serving of yogurt, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Cook your paratha using a small amount of healthy oil like olive oil or ghee, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Add vegetables such as spinach, fenugreek, or grated carrots to your paratha dough to increase fiber content, aiding in slower digestion and absorption.

Limit Sugar in Chai

Reduce or eliminate the sugar added to your chai. Consider using a natural sweetener like stevia if needed.

Use Low-Fat Milk

Prepare your chai with low-fat milk or a plant-based milk alternative like almond milk to reduce calorie intake while maintaining flavor.

Drink Water Before Eating

Have a glass of water before your meal to help control appetite and prevent overeating.

Practice Portion Control

Limit your serving size of paratha and chai to manage the overall carbohydrate intake effectively.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Eat Mindfully

Focus on eating slowly and savoring your meal to enhance digestion and recognize satiety cues, preventing overeating.
