How to consume english moong dal, white rice without glucose spikes

Combine with Protein and Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein and healthy fats to your meal, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or avocado. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. Fiber helps in slowing down the digestion process and can prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of white rice. Consider mixing it with a smaller portion of brown rice or quinoa, which are slower to digest.

Cook Rice Differently

Try cooking the white rice in a way that increases its resistant starch content, such as cooling it after cooking and then reheating it.

Incorporate Beans and Legumes

Adding lentils, chickpeas, or black beans to your meal can help balance the glucose levels due to their slower absorption rate.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Proper hydration can aid in digestion and help manage glucose levels.

Add Vinegar

Using a splash of vinegar in your dressings or as a condiment can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower the meal’s impact on your blood sugar.

Eat Smaller, More Frequent Meals

Instead of large meals, try eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day to help maintain steady glucose levels.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This allows your body to process the food more efficiently and can help prevent glucose spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your glucose levels and how they respond to different foods and combinations. Adjust your meals accordingly based on your observations.
