How to consume Coconut Chutney, Idli, Sambar, Tomato Chutney without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of Idli and chutneys. Consuming smaller quantities can help manage glucose spikes.

Add Fiber

Incorporate additional fiber into your meal. Consider adding a small side of vegetables or a salad to increase fiber intake and slow down glucose absorption.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or a handful of nuts, to help balance the meal and reduce glucose spikes.

Whole Grains

If possible, use whole grain batter for making Idli to slow the release of glucose.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to your meal. This can help slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Vinegar

Consider adding a splash of vinegar to your chutney or as a side dressing. Vinegar can help lower the glucose response after meals.

Meal Timing

Eat your meal at a consistent time, allowing for proper digestion and reducing the likelihood of a spike.

Chew Thoroughly

Chewing food slowly and thoroughly can aid digestion and help regulate glucose levels.

Hydration

Stay hydrated with water, which can help in digestion and managing glucose levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help manage glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by paying attention to hunger cues and eating slowly, which can help prevent overeating and spikes.

Alternative Flours

Experiment with using alternative flours like lentil flour for Idli, which may have a slower impact on glucose levels.
