How to consume coffee, english medu vada, idli without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a serving of protein such as eggs, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal to further slow carbohydrate absorption.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more vegetables or a small serving of legumes (like lentils or chickpeas) to your meal. These are high in fiber and can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you consume grains, choose whole grains like quinoa, barley, or brown rice in moderate amounts.

Drink Water or Herbal Tea

Instead of sugary beverages, drink water or unsweetened herbal tea to avoid additional sugar intake.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes for high-carb foods like idli and medu vada. Smaller portions can help reduce the glycemic load.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body time to process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Preload with Vegetables

Start your meal with a salad or a serving of non-starchy vegetables to help slow down the digestion of subsequent foods.

Limit Caffeine

If coffee is causing spikes, consider reducing the amount or switching to decaffeinated options, as caffeine can affect blood glucose levels.
