How to consume easy marianara sauce, ground veal, whole wheat spaghetti without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the spaghetti to help moderate your carbohydrate intake, thus minimizing potential spikes in glucose levels.

Protein Addition

Incorporate a bit more lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to balance out the meal and slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach or broccoli to increase fiber content, which can help slow glucose absorption.

Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or a sprinkle of nuts, which can aid in slowing digestion and prevent rapid spikes.

Cooking Method

Cook the whole wheat spaghetti al dente, as it can have a slower effect on blood sugar levels compared to overcooked pasta.

Balanced Sauce

Opt for a marinara sauce low in added sugars, or make homemade sauce using fresh tomatoes, garlic, and herbs to control sugar content.

Timing of Meals

Consider spacing out your meals or having smaller, more frequent meals to maintain steadier glucose levels throughout the day.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and after meals to help with digestion and support overall metabolic health.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help use up glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite, which can aid in better digestion and prevent overeating.
