How to consume Dal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of dal you consume to help manage the glucose spike.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein, such as grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or a boiled egg, in your meal to slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. This can help moderate blood sugar spikes by slowing digestion.

Pair with Low-Glycemic Vegetables

Include vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower with your dal to add fiber and further slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Whole Grains

If you are having dal with rice, opt for whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa, or barley instead of white rice.

Consume in a Balanced Meal

Make sure your meal is balanced with a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fats rather than relying heavily on dal.

Add Lemon Juice or Vinegar

Incorporate a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar to your dal. Acids can help reduce the rate at which food is converted into glucose.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and enjoy your meal, which can aid digestion and regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the day, but try not to drink large amounts during meals, which can interfere with digestion.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.
