How to consume Idli, Sambar, Vada without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli, sambar, and vada to help manage glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Include fiber-rich foods in the meal, such as adding a side of steamed vegetables or a salad with leafy greens.

Protein Pairing

Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain or millet-based idlis instead of those made from white rice to improve the nutritional profile.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as a small serving of avocado or nuts to the meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and after the meal to aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Timing

Consume the meal during a time of day when your body is more insulin-sensitive, such as during breakfast or lunch, rather than late at night.

Moderate Exercise

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after eating to help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, allowing enough time for your body to signal fullness and prevent overeating.

Lentils Addition

Incorporate a small portion of lentils or beans into your sambar to boost fiber and protein content.

Frequent Monitoring

Regularly check your glucose levels to understand how your body responds to different foods and adjust your diet accordingly.

Consult a Dietitian

Work with a healthcare professional to tailor dietary changes specific to your needs and health status.
