How to consume Mexican Rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Mexican rice you consume. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Increase the fiber content of your meal by including non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or beans. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats into your meal, such as avocado slices or a handful of nuts. Fats can slow down the digestion process, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Opt for Brown Rice

If possible, choose brown rice over white rice. Brown rice is a whole grain and digests more slowly, which can help manage spikes in blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after meals. Physical activity can help your body use the sugar in your bloodstream more effectively.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods affect you and make adjustments accordingly.

Balanced Meals

Ensure your meal is well-balanced, including a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
