How to consume cooked rice, english chana dal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of cooked rice and chana dal you consume in a single meal to minimize the glucose spike.

Mixed Meals

Combine rice and chana dal with high-fiber vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Addition

Include lean proteins such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish in your meal. This helps in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts. Fats can slow the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. These alternatives have a more gradual effect on blood sugar levels.

Vinegar

Add a tablespoon of vinegar (such as apple cider vinegar) to your meal or in your salad dressing. Vinegar can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Eat Protein and Vegetables First

Start your meals with protein and vegetables before moving on to rice and chana dal. This can help in blunting the rise in blood sugar.

Snack Wisely

If you snack between meals, choose low-carb options like nuts, seeds, or Greek yogurt to prevent big fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Regular Exercise

Incorporate regular physical activity such as walking, cycling, or swimming into your daily routine. Exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps in the efficient metabolism of carbohydrates.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully. Chewing well and eating slowly can improve digestion and help in better glucose management.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep a food diary to track what you eat and how it affects your blood sugar levels. Use this data to make informed adjustments to your diet.
