How to consume Moussaka without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Moussaka you consume. Smaller portions can help in managing the glucose response.

Balanced Meal Composition

Pair Moussaka with a side of leafy green vegetables like spinach or a mixed salad. The fiber in these foods can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or fish with your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small serving of nuts. These can help moderate blood sugar spikes by slowing digestion.

Choose Whole Grains

If serving Moussaka with bread or other grains, opt for whole-grain options like whole wheat pita or brown rice.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated aids digestion and can minimize spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consider consuming Moussaka earlier in the day rather than at dinner. This allows more time for your body to process the meal.

Active Lifestyle

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. This can help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, giving your body time to process the food and preventing overeating.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels after meals to understand how Moussaka affects you personally and adjust your approach as needed.
