How to consume arabic rice and chicken kabsa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the rice and chicken kabsa to help manage the glucose spike without eliminating the dish from your diet entirely.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate a side of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or leafy greens like kale to your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats, such as a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal. This can help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.

Protein Addition

Include additional sources of lean protein, like grilled shrimp or tofu, to help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce the impact of the carbohydrates.

Swap White Rice for Brown Rice

Consider replacing regular Arabic rice with brown rice or another whole grain option to help reduce the spike.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consume a small, balanced snack that includes protein and fiber, such as a few almonds or a small apple with peanut butter, about 30 minutes before your meal.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid in digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Limit Sugary Sauces

Be mindful of any sugary sauces or condiments you might add to your meal and try to limit or avoid them.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to properly digest the food and manage blood sugar levels.
