How to consume english arhar dal, plain paratha without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of dal and paratha. Smaller portions can help moderate the glucose spike.

Incorporate Fiber

Add high-fiber vegetables to your meal, such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. Fiber can help slow down glucose absorption.

Include Protein

Pair your meal with a protein source like grilled chicken, paneer, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. Fats can slow down digestion and the release of glucose.

Cook with Minimal Oil

Use minimal oil when cooking the paratha or choose healthier oils like olive oil or avocado oil.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use whole wheat flour for making parathas, as it provides more fiber compared to refined flour.

Hydrate Before Meals

Drink a glass of water before eating. This can help you feel full and potentially reduce the amount you eat.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew your food properly. Eating slowly helps in better digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Add a Salad

Start your meal with a salad made with lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes. This can help fill you up and reduce the quantity of dal and paratha you consume.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to prevent large spikes in glucose levels.
