How to consume Vada Pav without glucose spikes

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your Vada Pav with a side of vegetables like a salad or steamed broccoli to slow down digestion and prevent sharp spikes in blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as a boiled egg or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Opt for Whole Grain Bun

If possible, choose a whole grain or multigrain bun for your Vada Pav instead of the regular refined flour bun. Whole grains digest more slowly, leading to a gradual rise in blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil on your salad. Healthy fats can help reduce the rate of glucose absorption.

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of the Vada Pav. Eating smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Hydrate with Water

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels and support overall digestion.

Include a Citrus Fruit

Have a small citrus fruit like an orange or a handful of berries prior to eating Vada Pav. These fruits are rich in fiber and can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Take a Walk

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after eating. Exercise can help your cells use glucose more efficiently, thereby reducing the spike in blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Slow down and chew your food thoroughly. Eating mindfully can aid digestion and help you recognize when you’re full, preventing overeating.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar response to different combinations of foods and adjust your meal composition accordingly to find what works best for you.
