How to consume coconut chutney, dosa, idli, sambhar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the dosa, idli, and chutney you consume to limit the overall carbohydrate intake.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like adding more vegetables to the sambhar or having a side salad. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Protein Pairing

Include a source of protein with your meal, such as boiled eggs or a small serving of paneer, to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Whole Grains

If possible, prepare dosa and idli using whole grain or millets instead of refined rice to help slow down digestion.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, such as a small serving of nuts or seeds, into your meal. These can help in slowing down glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help control hunger.

Spice it Up

Use spices like cinnamon or fenugreek in your sambhar, as they may help in managing blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can prevent overeating and aid in better digestion and glucose management.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk post-meal, to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different quantities and combinations of these foods affect you, and adjust accordingly.
