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.
