How to consume South Indian meals without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of high-carb components like rice. Opt for smaller servings to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate protein-rich foods such as lentils, chickpeas, or paneer in your meals. They help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Cook with coconut oil or ghee and add nuts like almonds or walnuts to your dishes to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

Replace white rice with alternatives like brown rice, quinoa, or millets that are digested more slowly.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, okra, or broccoli to your meals to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body enough time to process the meal without causing a rapid glucose spike.

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and reduce the concentration of glucose in your bloodstream.

Balanced Meal Composition

Try to balance your plate with equal portions of carbs, proteins, and fats to ensure a steady release of glucose.

Include Fermented Foods

Add small servings of fermented foods like yogurt or dosa with a slightly longer fermentation process to your meal, which can aid in digestion and glucose management.

Monitor Carbohydrate Sources

Be mindful of using less refined flour in your dishes. Opt for using gram flour or whole wheat where possible.

Snack Wisely

If you feel like snacking, choose options like a handful of nuts, seeds, or a small bowl of fruit like berries.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity before your meal, such as a short walk, to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating Practices

Practice mindful eating by paying full attention to your meal, which can help you recognize fullness cues earlier.
