How to consume portuguese mushroom risotto without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the risotto. Eating smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. This can help slow down the digestion process and prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Add Lean Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or tofu alongside your risotto. Protein can help balance blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair your risotto with non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale. These can add fiber and nutrients without a significant impact on blood sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, use whole grain or brown rice for the risotto instead of white rice to increase fiber content.

Stay Hydrated

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

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Take a short walk after meals to help your body use up glucose from the bloodstream, reducing spikes.

Monitor Ingredients

Check the ingredients in your risotto and try to avoid added sugars or high-sugar sauces that can contribute to glucose spikes.

Try Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar to your risotto. The acetic acid in vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.
