How to consume Idli, Sambar, Vada without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli, sambar, and vada to minimize the impact on your glucose levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as a small serving of yogurt or cottage cheese, which can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber

Add vegetables like spinach or broccoli to your meal. These are high in fiber and can help moderate glucose spikes.

Use Whole Grains

If possible, make idlis using whole-grain or brown rice, which can help in reducing the glucose response.

Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or nuts. They can provide satiety and help in moderating glucose levels.

Hydrate Properly

Drink water before your meal to support digestion and help stabilize blood sugar.

Opt for Fermented Foods

Adding a small serving of fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut can aid digestion and have a neutralizing effect on sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take time to chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body a chance to properly digest and process the meal.

Exercise

Engage in light activity, such as a short walk, after the meal to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Try not to eat these high-carb meals late at night when your body might be less efficient at processing sugars.
