How to consume english indian black chickpeas curry, indian appam pancake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of both the chickpeas curry and appam. Smaller portions can help mitigate large spikes in blood sugar levels.

Fiber Addition

Pair the meal with a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale. High-fiber foods can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Protein

Add a lean protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of nuts to your meal. These can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk walk, after your meal to help enhance insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Meal Timing

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of large meals to help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Ingredients

Make your chickpeas curry with less oil and avoid adding sugar or high-sugar ingredients.

Use Whole Grains

When making appam, consider incorporating whole grain alternatives or adding ground flaxseed to the batter for added fiber.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your meal to give your body time to process and manage the carbohydrates effectively.
