How to consume english vada, sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the English vada and sambar. Smaller portions can help mitigate significant glucose spikes.

Balanced Plate

Include a good portion of non-starchy vegetables, like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers, alongside your meal to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Protein Addition

Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts to your meal. Fats can slow glucose absorption and help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and thoroughly chew your food. Eating slowly can help your body process sugars more gradually.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying well-hydrated can help with digestion and regulate glucose absorption.

Whole Grains

If you can modify the meal, consider using whole grains like quinoa or barley in your sambar preparation. These grains are absorbed more slowly by the body.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help reduce the rise in blood sugar levels.

Vinegar Intake

Consider consuming a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, diluted in water before your meal. This can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by focusing on your meal without distractions, which can help you recognize fullness cues and avoid overeating.
