How to consume Idli without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of idli you consume at one time. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a small serving of cottage cheese or a handful of nuts, alongside your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats into your meal, like a few slices of avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, which can help moderate glucose spikes.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Eat a side of vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or kale. These can slow carbohydrate absorption due to their high fiber content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help reduce blood sugar levels.

Timing of Meals

Spread out your meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to prevent large fluctuations in blood sugar.

Monitor Stress Levels

Practice stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing or meditation, as stress can impact blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're making homemade idli, consider using whole-grain or mixed grains instead of just polished rice to increase fiber intake.

Frequent Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels regularly to understand how different foods affect your glucose levels and adjust your diet accordingly.
