How to consume Asian food without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the size of your servings, especially with high-carb components like rice or noodles, to manage glucose spikes.

Balanced Meals

Include a good mix of proteins, healthy fats, and fibers alongside your meal to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Start with a Salad

Begin your meal with a vegetable-based salad to fill up on fiber and reduce the impact of carbs.

Choose Brown or Wild Rice

Opt for brown or wild rice instead of white rice, as they have a slower digestion rate.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you’re having noodles, choose those made from whole grains or try alternatives like soba noodles.

Include Non-Starchy Vegetables

Incorporate plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, and leafy greens.

Add Lean Proteins

Include lean protein sources such as tofu, chicken, or fish to help balance the meal.

Limit Sugary Sauces

Use soy sauce, vinegar, or lime juice instead of sweet sauces like teriyaki or sweet chili.

Drink Water

Choose water or unsweetened tea instead of sugary beverages to accompany your meal.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process and signal fullness, preventing overeating.

Snack Smartly

If you need a snack, choose options like nuts or seeds to keep glucose levels stable.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or post-meal activity to help moderate blood sugar levels.
