How to consume Pasta With Pesto Sauce without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the pasta to minimize the carbohydrate intake, which can help reduce the glucose spike.
Choose Whole Grain Pasta
Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of traditional pasta, as it digests more slowly and can help maintain steadier blood glucose levels.
Add Protein
Include a protein source such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu with your pasta meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Mix in healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, or seeds with your pesto sauce to help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Vegetables
Include low-carb vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, or broccoli to add fiber and nutrients, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Pre-Meal Hydration
Drink a glass of water before eating to help with digestion and reduce the likelihood of overeating.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to improve digestion and help your body better regulate blood sugar levels.
Consider a Vinegar Dressing
Add a splash of vinegar to your meal, as vinegar has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Post-Meal Activity
Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help use up some of the glucose from the meal.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood glucose levels after eating pasta and adjust the meal components as needed to find what works best for you.
