How to consume english puttu without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fat

Include a source of protein or healthy fat in your meal, such as eggs, yogurt, nuts, or seeds. This can help slow the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like vegetables or legumes into your meal. Adding spinach, broccoli, or lentils can moderate the glucose spike.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, use whole-grain flour when making puttu. Whole grains are digested more slowly, which can help reduce glucose spikes.

Incorporate Vinegar

Adding a small amount of vinegar to your meal, such as in a salad dressing or marinade, can help lower the glucose response.

Practice Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of puttu you consume to prevent excessive glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help your body regulate glucose levels more effectively.

Engage in Light Activity Post-Meal

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

Monitor Meal Timing

Space out your meals to avoid large spikes, aiming for balanced, smaller meals throughout the day.

Include a Citrus Element

Adding a piece of citrus fruit like a small orange or grapefruit to your meal can help balance blood sugar levels.

Limit Added Sugar

Avoid adding extra sugar or sweetened toppings to your puttu, as this can exacerbate glucose spikes.
