🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

Grilled zucchini – Adds volume and fiber without significant carbs, aiding in fullness and digestion.
Avocado salad – Provides healthy fats which can help to slow the absorption of carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

Grilled chicken – High in protein, helps to balance the meal and reduce the overall glycemic load.
Pan-seared salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health and maintaining steady blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

Cauliflower patties – Lower in carbs and provides a similar texture and bulk to potato-based patties in traditional ragda petis.
Chickpea flour – Offers a lower glycemic index compared to white flour, helping to reduce blood sugar spikes.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes digest more slowly.
30–60 min: Gradual increase in blood sugar due to slower digestion of proteins and fats.
2–3 hr: More stable blood sugar levels, avoiding the sharp spikes associated with high-carb meals.

“Many in the low-carb diabetes community find that focusing on whole, unprocessed foods not only helps in managing blood sugar levels but also enhances overall well-being.”
