How to consume Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idlis you consume. Start with one or two idlis and see how your body responds.

Incorporate More Vegetables

Add more vegetables to your sambar. Vegetables like spinach, eggplant, and carrots can help slow down digestion.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein with your meal. You can add boiled eggs or a side of paneer to balance your meal.

Fiber Boost

Eat a small salad or some raw vegetables like cucumber or tomatoes before your meal to increase fiber intake.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts before your meal. This can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before starting your meal to help with digestion and moderating hunger.

Meal Timing

Avoid eating your idli and sambar on an empty stomach. Have a small snack like a handful of almonds about 30 minutes before your main meal.

Chewing Thoroughly

Take your time to chew each bite thoroughly, which aids in digestion and helps regulate the blood sugar response.

Exercise Post Meal

Engage in a short walk or light exercise for about 15-20 minutes after your meal to help with glucose regulation.

Monitoring and Adjustment

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after meals and adjust portion sizes or meal components as needed to find what works best for you.
