How to consume Coconut Chutney, Idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both the idli and the coconut chutney to minimize the carbohydrate load.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like a boiled egg or a small serving of paneer alongside your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber

Add vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes into your meal. These can be added into the chutney or as a side salad to increase fiber intake, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, for 10-15 minutes after eating. This can help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, prepare idlis using whole grain options like brown rice or mixed grains, which are digested more slowly.

Timing of Eating

Avoid eating large quantities of carbohydrate-rich foods on an empty stomach. Having a small, balanced snack beforehand can help prepare your body to handle the sugar load.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and eat your meal slowly, which can aid in better digestion and glucose management.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after such meals and adjust the composition or quantity of your plate accordingly.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats, such as a few nuts or seeds, as they can help slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
