How to consume Idli, Sambar, Tea With Milk And Sugar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idlis. Instead of consuming multiple idlis, opt for one or two to minimize the spike in glucose levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair the meal with a side of vegetables, such as a salad or sautéed greens, to help slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a protein source, like a boiled egg or a small serving of paneer, to help balance the carbohydrates in your meal.

Use Whole Grains

If possible, make idlis using whole grains like brown rice or incorporate lentils, which have a slower impact on blood glucose.

Limit Sugar in Tea

Reduce the amount of sugar in your tea or consider using a natural sweetener like stevia to lower the sugar content.

Opt for Unsweetened Tea

Try drinking tea without milk and sugar or choose a herbal tea option to reduce carbohydrate intake from the beverage.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a teaspoon of ghee or a few nuts, to your meal to help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Monitor Timing

Eat your meal at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals to maintain more consistent blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after meals to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Be Mindful of Sambar Ingredients

Ensure that the sambar is made with plenty of non-starchy vegetables and limit the use of potatoes or other high-carbohydrate ingredients.
