How to consume Idli, Masala Dosa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the serving size of idli and masala dosa. This can help in managing the sudden rise in glucose levels.

Balanced Meal

Pair idli and masala dosa with high-fiber vegetables or a salad. Fiber slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, helping to prevent large glucose spikes.

Protein Addition

Include a source of lean protein such as paneer, tofu, or lentils. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like a small amount of avocado or nuts. Fats can also slow digestion, leading to more stable blood sugar levels.

Timing and Frequency

Avoid consuming these foods on an empty stomach. Instead, eat them as part of a mixed meal, and try not to consume large quantities in one sitting.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. This can help your body use glucose more efficiently and reduce spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Experiment with Ingredients

Consider making idli and dosa with whole grains or millet instead of refined rice to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food well. This practice can help your body better manage the digestion process.

Monitor Your Body's Response

Keep track of how your body responds to these foods and adjust your consumption accordingly, possibly consulting with a nutritionist for personalized advice.
