How to consume Indian dinner without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of high-carbohydrate foods like rice or naan. Opt for smaller servings to minimize the impact on your blood sugar.

Incorporate More Vegetables

Include a variety of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and bell peppers in your meal. These are low in carbs and can help balance your meal.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, switch to whole grain options like brown rice or whole wheat roti instead of white rice or regular naan to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Protein

Include a good source of protein such as lentils (dal), chickpeas (chana), paneer, chicken, or fish. Protein can help balance your meal and reduce spikes in blood sugar.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds, as they can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates and provide a sense of satiety.

Balanced Meal Composition

Aim for a balanced plate with a good mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber along with your carbohydrates. This combination can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can improve digestion and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal to stay hydrated and aid digestion, but avoid sugary drinks.

Post-Meal Activity

Consider taking a short walk after your meal. Physical activity can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor and Adjust

Pay attention to how different foods affect your blood sugar levels and adjust your meal choices accordingly. Keep track of what works best for you.
