How to consume Quesadilla With Meat And Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the quesadilla. Instead of eating a whole one, try eating half and pair it with other low-impact foods.

Add Fiber

Include a side of vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli. These can be added to the quesadilla or served on the side to increase fiber intake and slow down sugar absorption.

Whole Grains

If making the quesadilla at home, use whole-grain or whole-wheat tortillas instead of refined flour tortillas to moderate the impact on blood sugar.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or beans to help stabilize blood sugar levels. This will help to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of nuts. These can help slow down digestion and provide sustained energy.

Choose Quality Cheese

Opt for cheese that is lower in fat and sodium. A moderate amount of cheese can provide protein and fat, further aiding in blood sugar control.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water or herbal tea with your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as a short walk, which can help reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to allow your body to properly process the food and regulate blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar

If possible, check your blood sugar before and after eating to understand how your body reacts and adjust your approach as needed.
