How to consume english lemon rice, idli without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. This can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce spikes.

Add Vegetables

Increase your intake of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers with your meal to add fiber and nutrients while mitigating glucose spikes.

Portion Control

Monitor portion sizes of the lemon rice and idli to avoid consuming excessive carbohydrates in one sitting.

Whole Grain Alternatives

Use whole grain or brown rice instead of white rice when preparing lemon rice to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Add a Side Salad

Start your meal with a green salad. The fiber and water content can fill you up and reduce the amount of lemon rice and idli you consume.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before or during your meal to help with digestion and reduce the likelihood of consuming more food.

Use Fermented Foods

Incorporate fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi as a side dish. These can improve gut health and potentially aid in better blood sugar management.

Space Out Meals

Consider eating smaller portions of lemon rice and idli across multiple meals rather than consuming them all at once.

Monitor Timing

Eat lemon rice and idli earlier in the day when your body might be more insulin sensitive, rather than late at night.
