How to consume dosa, english indian sweet pongal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Begin by reducing the portion size of dosa and sweet pongal. Smaller servings will help in moderating the rise in blood sugar levels.

Protein Addition

Include a protein-rich side dish, such as boiled eggs or a serving of plain yogurt, to accompany your meal. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a serving of vegetables or a salad to your meal to increase fiber intake. Fiber can help in reducing blood sugar spikes.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, prepare dosa using whole grain or multigrain batter, which digests more slowly than refined grains.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a small handful of nuts or a few slices of avocado. These can help in slowing digestion and maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can assist in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Go for a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid eating large high-carb meals late at night. Having your dosa and sweet pongal earlier in the day can give your body more time to process the carbohydrates.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues. This can help prevent overeating.

Manage Stress

Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, which can help regulate blood sugar levels.
