That’s cause it’s not easy to resist an ice cream or gajar ka halwa. Everyone enjoys it! However, it is possible to minimise its impact on our blood sugar by sequencing our food. First, start consuming fibre, then proceed to protein and finally eat the carbohydrates. The reason blood sugar spikes are problematic is because they trigger insulin release. Excess sugar is often stored as fat. It’s time to demolish cold coffee with ice cream.
Eat Food In A Particular Order To Avoid Blood Sugar Spikes
Food sequencing or meal sequencing involves eating your food in a particular order to avoid blood sugar spikes. While there is no hard and fast rule for the same, it’s recommended to first eat raw or cooked vegetables (fibre), protein and healthy fats and lastly carbohydrates. Eating salads and veggies in the beginning leaves you satiated.
Another approach is going for a walk or other activities at the end of the meal. Just walk a few hundred meters at least. Helps clean out sugar spike.

You are less likely to overeat and it also helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates. This in turn helps manage your blood sugar levels. Since veggies are easy to digest, they can lay the ground for your stomach to easily digest the rest of the meal.
Fiber, protein, carbs… it’s like creating a three-act play where dessert is the grand finale.
Let’s give that gajar ka halwa its standing ovation!
