How to consume Rice and sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice and sambar to help minimize the spike. Eating smaller amounts can significantly impact post-meal blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown rice or other whole grains like quinoa or barley, which have a slower impact on blood glucose levels compared to refined white rice.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add vegetables to your meal. Include non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale which can help slow digestion and reduce the rate of glucose absorption.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of lean protein like chicken, tofu, or lentils, and healthy fats such as avocado or nuts to your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down the digestion process.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of large, infrequent ones to avoid large spikes in glucose levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meals. Staying hydrated can assist in digestion and may help in controlling blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk, after your meal to help with glucose regulation.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, allowing your body enough time to signal when you are full, which can prevent overeating and subsequent glucose spikes.

Consider Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar to your meal, such as in a salad dressing, which may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body's response to different foods and adjust your diet accordingly to minimize spikes. Use a food diary or an app to monitor your blood glucose levels after meals.
