🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

- Spinach and mushroom sauté – Offers a fiber-rich, nutritious addition that helps in slowing down glucose absorption.
🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)
- Grilled chicken salad – Lean protein helps moderate blood sugar levels and adds satiety to meals.
- Baked salmon with asparagus – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improve insulin sensitivity, while asparagus is low in carbs.
🥄 Smart Substitutes
- Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
- Berries (such as blueberries or strawberries) – Lower in carbs and have a lower glycemic index compared to rambai, which can help in better blood sugar control.
- Nuts (like almonds or walnuts) – Provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber, which can help slow glucose absorption and reduce blood sugar spikes.
⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline
- 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes are digested slowly.
- 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion and absorption of fats and fibers.
- 2–3 hr: Continued stability in blood sugar levels, with no significant spikes or drops.
