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

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the pasta and veal to limit the glucose impact. Consider measuring your servings to ensure consistency.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and a vinaigrette dressing to increase fiber intake, which can help slow down glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grain Options

Stick with whole wheat spaghetti as it is a better choice compared to refined pasta. Ensure that the pasta is cooked al dente, as overcooked pasta can have a higher impact on blood sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil or avocado on the side. This can help slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Protein

Complement the meal with additional protein sources such as grilled chicken breast or a small portion of beans. This can help balance blood sugar levels by reducing the rate at which carbohydrates are digested.

Enhance with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Mix in non-starchy vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers, into your marinara sauce. This adds volume and nutrients without significantly impacting blood sugar.

Monitor Sauces

Ensure that the marinara sauce does not contain added sugars. Opt for homemade or low-sugar store-bought versions.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal, as staying hydrated can assist with digestion and potentially mitigate glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk after your meal. Light exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity and promote stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help with better digestion and prevent overeating, contributing to more stable glucose levels.
