  1. Exercise portion control
    While it’s easy to get swayed by the sheer variety of rich foods, followed by desserts on Diwali, it’s always better to be cautious and take care of your food portions. Doing so, will not only keep your carbohydrate and sugar intake levels in check but will also allow you to diversify your palate and try new things. If you’re especially craving a sweet treat, stay away from ghee-laden laddoos and instead, munch on seasonal fruits.

  4. Add beans and legumes to your diet
    Several kinds of beans such as lentils, kidney, black or chickpea beans are low glycemic index foods. This means that consuming them won’t spike your blood sugar levels as opposed to sweets laden with sugar and fat.
