Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the roti and curry you consume. Consider having one roti instead of two if you usually have more.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer. Protein-rich foods can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add a small serving of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. This can help in moderating the glucose response.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or cauliflower. These provide fiber which can help in mitigating glucose spikes.

Drink a glass of water or a cup of herbal tea before your meal to help with digestion and glucose levels.

Slow Eating

Take your time to eat your meal, chewing thoroughly. This can help regulate the rate of digestion and glucose absorption.

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk before eating to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating

Focus on your meal, minimize distractions, and pay attention to hunger and fullness cues.
