How to consume Idli Sambar - Snack without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a protein source like a boiled egg or a small serving of paneer alongside your idli sambar to help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Fiber
Incorporate a small portion of vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal. These can be added to the sambar or served as a side salad.
Portion Control
Limit the number of idlis you consume in one sitting. Instead of having multiple idlis, try having one or two with extra sambar and vegetables.
Increase Activity Level
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after your meal to help with digestion and manage blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Foods
Whenever possible, opt for whole grains and avoid processed versions of the ingredients in your meal to maintain stable glucose levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small quantity of healthy fats like nuts or seeds to your meal, which can help slow down the digestion process.
Monitor Carb Intake
Be mindful of other carbohydrate sources in your meal. If you’re having idli, reduce or eliminate other carbohydrate-heavy items to balance your meal.
Use Fermented Foods
Serve your idli with a side of yogurt, which contains probiotics that may help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to give your body time to process the meal and regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
