How to consume english indian dal tadka, roti without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the dal tadka and roti to help manage the blood sugar response.

Balanced Meals

Incorporate a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower, which are high in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Addition

Add a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer to your meal. Protein helps in moderating blood sugar levels and prolonging the sense of fullness.

Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats, such as a sprinkle of chia seeds or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts, to help stabilize blood glucose levels.

Whole Grains

If possible, choose whole wheat roti instead of regular roti to increase the fiber content and slow carbohydrate absorption.

Timing and Frequency

Spread your meals out evenly throughout the day to avoid large spikes in glucose levels. Consider having smaller, more frequent meals.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help improve insulin sensitivity and aid in glucose uptake by the muscles.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues, to prevent overeating and better manage blood sugar levels.

Meal Preparation

Prepare the dal with minimal oil and salt, and avoid adding excessive amounts of ghee or butter to keep the meal healthier.
