How to consume Mexican food without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain tortillas instead of refined flour tortillas. They are slower to digest and can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Beans

Add black beans, pinto beans, or lentils to your dishes. They are a great source of fiber and protein, which can aid in controlling glucose spikes.

Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include plenty of non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and leafy greens in your meals to add fiber and bulk without increasing blood sugar.

Prioritize Healthy Fats

Use healthy fats such as avocado in your dishes. They can help slow down digestion and reduce a spike in blood sugar.

Limit Simple Carbohydrates

Minimize the consumption of white rice and opt for quinoa or barley as an alternative, as they have slower digestion rates.

Portion Control

Pay attention to portion sizes, especially for high-carb foods, to prevent overconsumption that can lead to spikes.

Include Protein

Add lean protein sources like grilled chicken, turkey, or fish to your meals. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Drink Water

Choose water or unsweetened beverages over sugary drinks to accompany your meal, as they won't add to the sugar load.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to allow your body time to signal when it’s full, preventing overeating.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to maintain regular meal times and avoid eating large meals late at night, giving your body time to process the food.
