How to consume Sambar, Uttapam without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Eat smaller portions of sambar and uttapam. This helps in reducing the overall carbohydrate intake, thereby minimizing the glucose spike.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein in your meal, such as paneer, tofu, or lentils. Protein slows the absorption of carbohydrates, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate more fiber by adding vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or okra to your sambar. Fiber slows digestion and helps prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats to your meal, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. Fats can slow down the digestion process and help in maintaining consistent blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small snack that includes protein or healthy fat before eating sambar and uttapam to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help your body use the glucose more effectively and reduce spikes.

Monitor Ingredients

Use whole grain or alternative flours like ragi or besan for making uttapam batter, as these have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite. This helps you recognize when you are full and can prevent overeating.

Meal Timing

If possible, consume sambar and uttapam during breakfast or lunch when your body is more active, rather than dinner, to better manage blood sugar levels.
