How to consume english dal, steamed rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your portion sizes of both dal and rice. Eating smaller amounts can help manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown rice instead of white rice. Brown rice is a whole grain and digests more slowly, leading to a gradual release of sugar into the bloodstream.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help balance your meal.

Increase Protein

Add a protein source like grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg to your meal. Protein slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil to your meal. Healthy fats can help slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Mixed Meals

Combine your dal and rice with a salad or a side of non-starchy vegetables. This mix can help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid eating large quantities of dal and rice late in the evening. Eating earlier allows your body more time to process the meal.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with overall digestion and metabolism.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal. Physical activity helps your body use glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger cues. This practice can help you avoid overeating and make better food choices.
