How to consume idli 4 without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by eating a smaller portion of idli to reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed at one time.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein, such as a side of yogurt or a boiled egg, to your meal. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like a spoonful of peanut butter or a few slices of avocado alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Pair idlis with a fiber-rich vegetable dish, such as sautéed spinach or a green salad, to slow down digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Use Fermented Ingredients

Prepare idli batter with fermented ingredients, as fermentation can help reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after meals to help your body use glucose more effectively.

Balanced Meals

Ensure overall meal balance by including a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to avoid large spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, as this can help with better digestion and glucose management.

Monitor Timing

Avoid consuming idlis on an empty stomach or as the first meal of the day; instead, eat them as part of a larger, balanced meal.
