How to consume Dosa, Uttapam without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of dosa or uttapam to manage your glucose levels more effectively.

Add Protein

Pair your meal with a source of protein such as cottage cheese (paneer), Greek yogurt, or eggs. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. They can provide satiety and help modulate blood sugar spikes.

Fiber-Rich Side Dishes

Add a side of sautéed vegetables or a salad with leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, to your meal. Fiber can help slow down the digestion process.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal to aid digestion and help control hunger.

Choose Whole Grains

If making dosa or uttapam at home, consider using whole grain flours like millets or oats to lower the impact on blood sugar.

Consume Slowly

Eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process and manage glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in moderate physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating to help lower blood glucose levels.

Monitor Timing

Try eating dosas or uttapams earlier in the day when your body might be more efficient at managing blood sugar.

Herbal Additions

Add spices like cinnamon or fenugreek to your batter or chutneys. These spices are known to help in regulating blood sugar levels.
