How to consume english indian sweet pongal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of sweet pongal to limit the intake of carbohydrates that can lead to spikes in blood sugar.

Increase Fiber Intake

Accompany sweet pongal with high-fiber foods like lentils or green leafy vegetables, which can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Add Protein

Include a protein-rich food like a boiled egg or a handful of nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) with your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or olive oil, to your meal to slow down digestion and sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating pongal to help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.

Include Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your pongal, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Timing of Meals

Try to consume sweet pongal as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, allowing your body time to signal when it’s full, which can help prevent overeating.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect you personally and adjust your diet accordingly.
