How to consume Spaghetti Bolognese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of spaghetti to minimize carbohydrate intake. Consider using a smaller plate to help with portion management.

Whole Grain Pasta

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta. These varieties typically have a slower digestion rate.

Add Vegetables

Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables in your dish. This could include adding zucchini, spinach, or bell peppers to the sauce, which can increase fiber content and slow digestion.

Protein Boost

Include a lean protein source such as turkey, chicken, or tofu in your Bolognese sauce. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as olive oil or avocado. These can help in slowing digestion and reducing spikes.

Vinegar Addition

Add a splash of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, to your sauce. Vinegar is known to have properties that may help in moderating blood glucose levels.

Pair with a Salad

Start your meal with a green salad without sugary dressings. The fiber can help in controlling glucose spikes.

Cook Al Dente

Cook your pasta al dente (firm to the bite). Overcooked pasta can have a higher impact on blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Ensure you're well-hydrated. Drinking water throughout the day can help with digestion and blood sugar control.
