How to consume Sambar, White Rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of white rice you consume and increase the proportion of sambar to maintain flavor while moderating carbohydrate intake.

Fiber Addition

Add fiber-rich foods like lentils or legumes to your meal. Lentils can be mixed into the sambar or served on the side for better glucose management.

Protein Inclusion

Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu. Protein helps in slowing down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.

Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds to your meal. These can help slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Vegetable Supplementation

Include plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli. These can be added to sambar or served as a side dish.

Vinegar

Consider consuming a small amount of vinegar, like apple cider vinegar, before your meal. This can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after your meal to help your muscles utilize glucose more effectively.

Whole Grain Option

Substitute white rice with a smaller portion of brown rice or quinoa if possible, as these alternatives have a more gradual impact on blood sugar levels.

Timing

Try to eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and slower glucose release.

Hydration

Drink water before and after your meal to help in maintaining blood glucose levels and aid digestion.
