How to consume quick pongal without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of quick pongal to minimize the overall glucose load on your body.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as boiled eggs or grilled chicken, to your meal. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like nuts (almonds or walnuts) or seeds (chia or flaxseeds) to your meal. Fats can help slow glucose absorption.

Pair with Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables, like spinach or broccoli, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Drink Water Before Eating

Stay hydrated by drinking a glass of water before eating to help with digestion and control appetite.

Use Whole Grains

If possible, prepare the pongal using whole grains instead of polished rice to increase fiber content.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include a fiber-rich salad or a small portion of legumes such as lentils on the side to help slow down digestion.

Monitor Timing

Eat at regular intervals throughout the day to prevent large blood sugar swings.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can help prevent overeating and help your body better regulate glucose levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk, after eating to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.
