How to consume cooked rice, english dal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of cooked rice and dal in your meals. Smaller portions can help manage the impact on your blood glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Increase your meal's fiber content by adding vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower. Fiber can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing the spike in blood glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds into your meal. These can help slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Protein Boost

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small, balanced snack with protein and fiber, like an apple with almond butter, about 30 minutes before your main meal. This can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Cook Rice Differently

Opt for parboiled or basmati rice, which may have a lower impact on blood sugar than regular white rice. Cooking rice with extra water and draining it can also help reduce carbohydrate content.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and help your body better manage blood glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals. This will help you understand your body's response and adjust your dietary habits accordingly.
