How to consume Spaghetti With Tomato Sauce And Chicken Or Turkey without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of spaghetti you consume in one sitting. Consider using a smaller plate to naturally reduce portion sizes.

Whole Grain Pasta

Substitute regular spaghetti with whole grain or whole wheat pasta, which is digested more slowly.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers into your dish to add fiber and bulk, which can help moderate glucose levels.

Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats, such as a sprinkle of nuts or a drizzle of olive oil, and ensure your chicken or turkey is skinless to reduce fat content for better glucose control.

Chew Thoroughly

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to aid digestion and help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Monitor Cooking Time

Cook pasta al dente (firm to the bite) to reduce its impact on glucose levels.

Balanced Meal Composition

Pair your meal with a salad made of leafy greens and a light vinaigrette to enhance fiber intake and create a more balanced meal.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to stay hydrated, which can help with digestion and control hunger.

Regular Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Frequent, Smaller Meals

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to prevent large spikes in glucose levels following a meal.
